Disability Employment Agency Publishes Safety Accident Prevention Book for Workers with Developmental Disabilities

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled Employment Development Institute announced on the 17th that it has published "Boramsi's Safe Workplace Life (Field Edition)" to prevent safety accidents among workers with developmental disabilities in industrial sites.

The agency previously published the basic edition of Boramsi's Safe Workplace Life in 2019 to prevent common hazards that workers with developmental disabilities may encounter at work. This time, the field edition was prepared to prevent safety accidents that may occur in industrial workplaces.

To enhance practicality, the field edition was created focusing on a total of 10 job types selected through expert meetings from jobs at workplaces that employ many workers with developmental disabilities and jobs where many developmental disabled workers are employed.

In particular, the main character Boramsi and her friends discuss the dangerous situations they experienced at work and ways to work safely, making the content easy to understand.

The field edition reflects on-site realities by directly visiting workplaces employing workers with developmental disabilities to identify and incorporate potential accidents and risk factors. The completeness was enhanced through comprehension reviews by trainees with developmental disabilities, students majoring in special schools, and consultations with experts in industrial safety.

Choi Jong-cheol, Director of Employment Development at the agency, stated, "We will continue to develop various content needed by workers with developmental disabilities and industrial sites in an easy-to-understand format."

All materials, including Boramsi's Safe Workplace Life (Field Edition), can be downloaded as e-books from the agency's website (http://www.kead.or.kr) in the Job Area Development resource room. Printed copies can also be requested from the Employment Development Institute (Job Area Development Team).
