The county, for the first time in Gyeongnam, appointed a specialist in preventive medicine as an occupational health physician under the Occupational Safety and Health Act to guide workers' health management and the duties of health managers.
The appointed occupational health physician is Professor Lee Kyung-soo, a specialist in preventive medicine at Yeungnam University in Daegu. Professor Lee is renowned for his research on medical management, healthcare systems, and community health promotion. He currently serves as the chairman of the regional health committee of the Korean Society for Preventive Medicine, vice president of the International Society for Rural Health and Medicine, and director of the Preventive Management Center at the Regional Respiratory Disease Specialty Center of Yeungnam University College of Medicine.
On this day, consultations were held to establish an active response system, including risk-level management of workers with suspected diseases among active workers, training for actual situation responses, preparation of manuals, and specific action plans.
Additionally, although the workload of those in charge may increase due to the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, it was suggested to boost morale by rewarding workers who actively work to improve occupational health tasks.
