ABSTRACT

The “public safety practice competence” can be defined as knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for the public to cope with various accidents. In order for the central and municipal governments to establish the fundamental plan for public safety education, it is necessary to diagnose the current level of competence in public safety practice. The purpose of this study is to present the concept of public safety practice competence and develop a tool for measuring it. It presents the method focusing on the case of falls in the field of life safety by establishing a framework to investigate the competence levels in children, adolescents and adults. The survey was found to be reliable with a Cronbach‘s alpha coefficient of 0.725 or higher. The factor analysis showed that the factors measuring knowledge and skill were well organized but the ability factor is insufficient and needs redevelopment. The results of the survey on falls indicated that the youth and public officials would need safety education.
