[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] On the 16th, the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education signed a 'Health Promotion Agreement for On-site Workers' with the Worker Health Centers (Gwangju, Eastern Jeonnam, Western Jeonnam) and the Jeonnam Branch of the National School Irregular Workers' Union at the business room on the 5th floor of the government building.

The signing ceremony was held to promote health improvement programs aimed at preventing occupational diseases such as musculoskeletal disorders among school on-site workers and to encourage worker participation through union promotion.

Each organization agreed on the point that "medical activities and continuous management are urgently needed to prevent occupational diseases among school workers" and promised cooperation.

So far, the Provincial Office of Education has conducted surveys on harmful factors in musculoskeletal burden tasks and industrial health consultations targeting on-site workers in schools. However, since independent activities have limitations in preventing occupational diseases, this agreement plans to improve medical management and working environments.

Jeon Gyeong-sook, director of the Worker Health Center who attended the signing ceremony, stated, "Through this agreement, we will provide high-quality services for the efficient management of occupational disease patients in school settings."

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong said, "This will be a great opportunity for school on-site workers to participate in quality programs and improve their health levels."
