West Japan Division holds lifesaving training

Our West Japan Division held an ordinary lifesaving training, inviting Oyamazaki Fire Station's emergency medical service team on January 30 and February 13. Ordinary lifesaving training teaches the importance of emergency medical treatment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation to save the lives of severely injured or sick people, and how to prevent excessive blood loss. Participants also learned how to use AEDs (automated external defibrillators) that were installed in the West Japan Division's main entrance and the factory in December last year.

Training session

A few staff from each section, sixty in all over two days, attended the training and trained on dummies. The AED is equipped with voice guidance, so anybody can use it, but the chest compression ventilation sequence is rather difficult. Staff practiced very hard, imagining they are saving a life.

Ventilation

Chest compression

After three hours of training, all participants received a training completion certificate. The participants are now confident in using AED safely and surely without being confused in case of emergency.
