Harbor Workers' Safety Awareness UP↑, UP↑ … BPA Conducts Safety Supervisors' 'Accident Prevention Training'

Supervisors in charge of safety management at tenant companies in the New Port Hinterland Complex are attending safety and health training.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) conducted safety and health training on the 15th at the New Port Welfare Plus Center for safety supervisors to enhance the safety awareness of workers at companies located in the Busan New Port hinterland complex and to prevent serious accidents.

The training, jointly hosted by BPA and the Busan New Port Hinterland Logistics Association, was attended by safety supervisors from 34 companies located in the New Port hinterland complex.

The training featured lectures by a team of experts from the Korea Industrial Training Association, an industrial safety education institution designated by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

The training program was composed mainly of practical cases that could occur within the port area, including ▲ the roles and duties of supervisors ▲ interpretation of the Port Safety Special Act ▲ amendments to industrial safety and health laws ▲ matters related to industrial safety and accident prevention.

A BPA official stated, “We prepared customized training that can actually prevent serious accidents, and the participants’ satisfaction was high.”

He added, “The safety supervisors of tenant companies were able to receive legally mandated training, which they would otherwise have to attend individually at distant training centers, all at once near the hinterland complex, which received a better response from companies.”

BPA plans to actively support the safety and health activities of tenant companies by encouraging those who could not attend the training on that day to participate in supervisor training sessions to be held on the 19th and 21st at the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal.
