[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan City (Mayor Park Hyung-jun), together with the Busan Employment and Labor Office and the Busan Regional Headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, is launching the ‘Industrial Safety City’ project to prevent industrial accidents and reduce fatalities from industrial accidents.

On the 18th at 5 p.m., Busan City will sign a ‘Business Agreement for an Industrial Safety City Busan’ at the International Protocol Room on the 7th floor of City Hall.

This was prepared to prevent safety accidents in various projects such as local government-commissioned construction and to spread an industrial safety culture through a cooperative system among participating institutions.

Busan City plans to establish an organic cooperation system and prevent industrial accidents through solid policy implementation.

According to the agreement, each institution plans to conduct joint on-site inspections of public construction and projects commissioned by Busan City (including districts and counties).

In addition, to ensure the smooth operation of the ‘Labor Safety and Health Keeper Group’ project promoted by Busan City, they will support education and share inspection know-how to promote and support industrial accident prevention activities.

The Labor Safety and Health Keeper Group, established under the ‘Busan City Ordinance for the Prevention of Industrial Accidents and the Promotion of Workers’ Health’ enacted in May last year, conducts industrial accident prevention activities such as workplace inspections to ensure that workers can work safely in industrial sites.

If the Keeper Group’s on-site inspection results identify high-risk workplaces or poor workplaces, Busan City plans to link patrols with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency and request supervision from the Busan Regional Employment and Labor Office.

They will also promote safety capacity-building education for local government officials and actively cooperate in spreading a safety culture by holding joint campaigns to establish a safety-first culture.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun of Busan said, “We will devote efforts to creating safe jobs for workers in the Busan area through close cooperation with related organizations,” and added, “We will take the lead in creating a safe working environment to prevent industrial accidents and protect workers’ lives.”
