Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju to Promote 'Industrial Safety Diagnosis Consulting'

For Small Businesses with Fewer Than 10 Employees

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Nosa-Minjeong Council of Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Chairman Kim Samho) announced on the 19th that it will promote 'Industrial Safety Diagnosis Consulting' targeting small-scale local businesses.

This project is part of the '2021 Regional Nosa-Minjeong Cooperation Activation Project' selected through a public contest by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

To actively respond to the industrial accident issues occurring continuously in the region, Gwangsan-gu and the Gwangju Regional Headquarters of the Korea Industrial Safety Association will collaborate to prioritize 20 small-scale workplaces for this initiative.

Experts from the Korea Industrial Safety Association will visit workplaces to conduct on-site industrial safety diagnosis consulting, aiming to identify risk factors for worker accidents in advance and propose improvement measures. The consulting service is free of charge.

Support will also be provided for industrial safety and health education, which is a legally mandated training for supervisors.

Additionally, customized on-site free consulting on personnel and labor management will be conducted by certified labor attorneys belonging to the Korea Certified Labor Attorneys Association for 15 small-scale workplaces with fewer than 30 employees.

This will provide employers with essential information on labor-related laws and employee management to alleviate difficulties in labor management and offer tailored improvement plans.

Kim Samho, Mayor of Gwangsan-gu, said, "I hope this project will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises and preventing industrial accidents," and added, "We will continue to work together with local labor and management to create a safe and healthy workplace."

Meanwhile, detailed information regarding the consulting can be found on the Gwangsan-gu website. For further guidance, inquiries can be made to the Corporate Economy Division of Gwangsan-gu.
