Overview of the Narakeum Daegu Integrated Government Building Construction Project

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KAMCO (Korea Asset Management Corporation) announced on the 25th that it conducted heatwave season health protection and COVID-19 prevention activities for construction workers at the new construction site of the ‘Narakium Daegu Integrated Government Building’ in Dong-gu, Daegu.

As part of its safety-first management policy, KAMCO checked compliance with the ‘Worker Health Protection Guidelines’ during the heatwave season at public development project sites, inspected construction site risk factors, and confirmed quarantine guidelines to prevent further spread of COVID-19. They also distributed KF94 masks to the workers.

At KAMCO public development sites, when a heatwave warning is issued, the ‘Heat Rest Time System’ is actively implemented to stop outdoor work during daytime hours, and heat-related illnesses are prevented by following safety rules for heatstroke prevention (water, shade, rest). Additionally, activities to prevent worker safety accidents are carried out through measures such as ▲preparing clean water and saline solution ▲providing shaded rest areas ▲inspecting protective gear such as safety helmets and safety belts ▲securing nearby hospitals ▲checking construction machinery equipment.

Namgung Young, KAMCO’s Public Development Headquarters Safety Management Officer, conducted an on-site inspection and listened to opinions from construction site personnel regarding safety management, working conditions, and quarantine measures, discussing improvement plans. He said, “We plan to continue health protection activities for construction workers until the heatwave and COVID-19 completely subside,” adding, “Through safety inspections and gathering on-site feedback, KAMCO will take the lead in creating a safe public development project environment.”
