SEOUL, S. Korea (March 24, 2016) — Chevron, one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies, held “Safe Nuri” (Safe World) safety education drills for children at Boramae Safety Center in Dongjak-dong, Seoul, South Korea.

"Safe Nuri" is a national education program designed to protect children in childcare centers from unexpected crises and to promote safety awerness and preparedness. Chevron has supported the program in partnership with the Community Chest of Korea and Nationwide Childcare Center since 2015.

This year, children were given opportunities to participate in safety education drills at training facilities, specially designed to simulate crises including earthquakes, typhoons, fire, and car accidents. During the drills, the children were able to learn practical emergency response skills from safety experts.

Bill Miner, Korea country chairman of Chevron, participated in the drills with the children and said that “we place the highest priority on health and safety; it’s the most important value at Chevron. Our goal through the Safe Nuri program is to contribute to safety of children and strengthen their safety awareness through practical training.”

The "Safe Nuri" education program targets 4,590 children and social welfare specialists in 153 childcare centers in Seoul, Gyeong-gi, Incheon, Geoje, Ulsan, Busan, Tongyeong, and the Yeosu area.

The safety and emergency rescue training by safety experts will be conducted through August. Safety tool kits including fire extinguishers, fire alarms, first-aid kits, and safety posters will be provided to childcare centers and a certificate of "Safe Nuri Education Program" will also be issued to training participants.
