Kim Hak-do, President of the Small and Medium Business Corporation, is inspecting the safety of facilities at the construction site of the Small and Medium Business Training Institute on the 12th.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Small and Medium Business Corporation conducted an on-site inspection on the 12th at the Small and Medium Business Training Institute located in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, to implement worker protection measures against the heatwave.

Kim Hak-do, the director of the Small and Medium Business Corporation, visited the asbestos removal construction site at the training institute to prevent safety accidents caused by the heatwave in advance. In particular, he checked compliance with the three basic rules for preventing heatstroke among on-site workers and the implementation status of facility safety management.

The three basic rules for preventing heatstroke are ▲providing cool and clean water ▲preparing shaded areas close to the workplace ▲taking regular breaks of 10 to 15 minutes every hour during heatwave warnings (stopping construction from 2 to 5 p.m., the hottest hours).

Director Kim inspected compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines and instructed that if it is difficult to use screening clinics or public health centers, workers should immediately visit private hospitals for testing. He also delivered self-diagnosis kits, masks, and hand sanitizers, urging frequent use of the self-diagnosis kits.

The safety inspection was conducted with minimal participants, including the construction company's on-site managers and related personnel, while adhering to government COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as wearing masks.

Director Kim stated, "The Small and Medium Business Corporation has established a safety-first management system and obtained the Safety and Health Management System (KOSHA-MS) certification last year. Through safety-centered management for the safety of executives, employees, and contractors, including facility inspections in the second half of the year, we will lead the spread of a safety culture."
