Heatwave Prevention Promotional Signboard.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Duyul] The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) is launching a joint campaign with the major domestic retail company Emart to raise awareness of the dangers of heatwaves and prevent industrial accidents.

KOSHA and Emart have created and installed signboards in the bottled water sections of Emart stores, which are popular with consumers during the summer, to promote the three key rules for heatwave prevention: "Water, Shade, Rest." Additionally, safety practice messages will be printed on the packaging of bottled water bundles to spread safety awareness.

The joint campaign will run until the 20th, during which limited-edition bottled water featuring safety practice messages will be produced and sold at nationwide Emart stores and Emart's private brand, No Brand.

KOSHA will also conduct joint inspections of logistics facilities, including the working environment for store employees, in collaboration with Emart as part of the heatwave prevention campaign.

On the 11th, safety and health experts from KOSHA and Emart officials will participate in an inspection of the logistics operations, including the loading dock and transportation equipment, at the Emart Seongsu branch.

Alongside the inspection, a heatwave prevention campaign targeting store customers will also be conducted.

Jongju Ahn, Director of KOSHA, stated, "The joint campaign at stores frequently visited by workers and citizens will be a great opportunity to raise awareness about heatwave prevention." He added, "We plan to continue spreading a culture of safety in workplaces and among the public through various collaborative efforts in the future."
