CJ Logistics to Provide Thrice-Yearly Counseling Services Linked to Health Checkups for Delivery Workers

Daegu·Gyeongsan Workers' Health Center Signs MOU to Promote Health of Delivery Workers
Plans to Expand Agreement to 23 Centers Nationwide

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] CJ Logistics will provide health consultation services linked to health checkups three times a year for delivery drivers. This is part of the "Joint Declaration to Guarantee Rest for Delivery Workers" announced in August last year.

On the 18th, CJ Logistics announced that it signed a "Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Health Promotion of Delivery Drivers" with the Daegu-Gyeongsan Workers' Health Center to provide health consultation services linked to health checkup results. The Workers' Health Center operates 23 centers nationwide and provides health consultations under the commission of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency under the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

Through this agreement, CJ Logistics and the Daegu-Gyeongsan Workers' Health Center agreed to cooperate on post-management after health examinations, prevention of occupational diseases, professional medical consultations, prevention and management of cerebrovascular and musculoskeletal diseases, and consultations on occupational environment and work management.

With this agreement, CJ Logistics delivery drivers will be able to receive annual health checkups with added cardiovascular items, and based on these results, professional medical staff will provide health consultation services three times a year. Considering the convenience of delivery drivers, the health consultation services will be conducted by medical professionals from the Workers' Health Center visiting the sub-terminals directly. CJ Logistics will cover all related costs.

Previously, since September last year, CJ Logistics conducted a pilot service with 156 delivery drivers working at 20 sub-terminals located in Incheon and Gyeongsangbuk-do Gyeongsan. Starting with the Daegu-Gyeongsan Workers' Health Center, CJ Logistics plans to expand the agreement to all 23 centers nationwide.

CJ Logistics stated, "We are establishing and implementing various measures such as introducing advanced equipment, fully supporting health checkups, introducing a volume reduction request system, and consulting on appropriate delivery volumes to create a healthy working environment." They added, "We will faithfully implement comprehensive measures to protect delivery drivers and workers and transparently disclose them to the public."

Meanwhile, to reduce the labor intensity of delivery drivers, CJ Logistics is gradually deploying support personnel to the field. As of the 10th, 3,078 personnel, which is 77% of the target of 4,000, have been assigned to the field. Additionally, support for delivery drivers, who are individual business owners, continues with assistance for children's tuition fees and leave expenses for family events.
