CJ Logistics Supports 1,000 'Safety Bag Covers' to Prevent Children's Traffic Accidents

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] CJ Logistics announced on the 7th that it has delivered 1,000 ‘Reflective Safety Backpack Covers’ to the Gwangju Police Station in Gyeonggi Province to prevent traffic accidents involving children.

The ‘Reflective Safety Backpack Cover’ is a safety product designed to protect the walking safety of lower-grade elementary school students who are short in height and difficult for drivers to see. It is a fluorescent cover worn over children's backpacks, with the number ‘30’ indicating the speed limit of 30 km/h in school zones displayed inside a red circle in the center. The red circle is made of reflective material to make it highly visible at night or in rainy weather. It is expected to be especially effective in preventing traffic accidents when high-body vehicles such as trucks and SUVs are driving or on walkways without clear separation between sidewalks and roads.

This support is part of the ‘Children’s Traffic Safety Campaign’ that CJ Logistics has been conducting since 2017. In 2018, CJ Logistics also supported safety backpack covers at Chowol Elementary School in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, receiving great responses from parents and schools.

The delivery ceremony held at the Gwangju Police Station was attended by Kim Jeonghan, Executive Director of CJ Logistics, Jo Yongsung, Chief of Gwangju Police Station, and Yu Miae, President of the Green Mothers’ Association. The Gwangju Police Station plans to distribute the received safety backpack covers to lower-grade students at Sinhyeon Elementary School and Gwangju Songjeong Elementary School, which opened this year in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, together with the Green Mothers’ Association. Good Neighbors co-planned and conducted this campaign.

A CJ Logistics official said, “We hope the safety backpack covers, which act as walking signboards, will greatly help prevent traffic accidents involving children,” and added, “We plan to continue the traffic safety campaign so that children can grow up in a safer environment.”
