A Study on the Improvement of Educational System for Maximizing the Practical Transfer of Education and Training by emergency occupational group in Korea Coast Guard

Following the Ferry Sewol accident in 2014 and the Yeongheungdo fishing boat accident in 2017, the Korea Coast Guard have brought about many changes and developments in the rescue field. However, after the rescue, the development of the first aid field, which must be linked to extend the life and secure the safety of the rescuer, is very insufficient. This is because the Korea Coast Guard are very active and sensitive to the rescue performance, but are passive in selecting personnel in the emergency field, developing the education system, and supporting the field. Therefore, this study conducted a review of previous studies related to first aid work, an analysis of the operation status and problems of each the Korea Coast Guard first aid field, an education system survey of emergency rescue workers at other organizations performing similar tasks to each first aid field, and a survey of police officers by the Korea Coast Guard first aid field. Based on this, efficient and realistic ways to improve the education system were proposed, such as the introduction of a preceptorship education system and a first aid management system, the development of a first aid manual, the recruitment of faculty personnel, and the establishment of education for first responders.
