[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The '2021 Industrial Safety and Health Emphasis Week' major event, the 'Workplace Health Management Best Practice Presentation Contest,' hosted by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency and organized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, was held without an audience on the 8th at KINTEX in Ilsan.

The Industrial Safety and Health Emphasis Week is a festival-like campaign in which the government designates the first week of July every year to hold events related to safety and health, raising awareness of the importance of safety and health in workplaces and society.

This presentation contest was established this year to discover and disseminate excellent cases in workplace health management, such as improving hazardous work environments and promoting workers' health activities.

Nine workplaces nationwide applied to participate, and after document screening and on-site inspections, five workplaces advanced to the finals on this day.

The grand prize, the Minister of Employment and Labor Award, was awarded to the Lotte Construction Hanam Misa 1-1 2BL Knowledge Industry Center New Construction Project site.

The site received high evaluations for various health management systems and activities, including hazardous chemical management and smart healthcare.

All events during the Emphasis Week, including this presentation contest, were held without an audience to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The on-site video can be viewed on the Agency’s YouTube channel, and other event-related information is provided through the Industrial Safety and Health Emphasis Week website.

Park Doo-yong, Director of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, said, “We hope that workplaces will benchmark diverse and excellent cases suitable for the times, such as health management using advanced technology and protecting workers' mental health in the COVID-19 era, to improve the overall level of workplace health management activities.”
