[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Protection measures and support plans for port workers in preparation for unprecedented heatwaves are also being hastily prepared.

Busan Port Authority (BPA) announced on the 8th that this summer is expected to have more heatwave days than usual, and they have provided cooling equipment such as refrigerators and two portable heatwave shelters for port workers at Busan Port.

Last summer, BPA also supported cooling supplies and portable heatwave shelters to improve the working conditions of port workers. This year, anticipating record-breaking heatwaves, they have proactively provided full support.

Cooling equipment such as refrigerators and freezers were evenly distributed to Bukhang, Sinhang, and Gamcheon Port so that workers can use them to cope with the heat. Two portable heatwave shelters equipped with air conditioners and mini refrigerators were installed to alleviate the inconvenience caused by the long distance between the Gamcheon Port site and the workers' rest area.

Nam Ki-chan, President of BPA, said, “The first step in creating a people-centered Busan Port is to look after the working environment of on-site workers,” adding, “We will continue to spare no effort in providing various support for the safety and welfare of on-site workers.”
