[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Homeplus announced on the 16th that it has distributed 'Cold Weather Illness Prevention Kits' containing cold protection hats, thermos bottles, and heat packs to field employees who inevitably work outdoors due to the sharp drop in winter temperatures.

The recipients include 2,400 employees such as waste disposal site workers at large mart stores, online delivery drivers who are partner company employees, and employees working at Homeplus Express (including franchise stores).

Based on Article 63 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act (Safety and Health Measures by Contractors) and Article 563 of the Enforcement Rules on Industrial Safety and Health Standards (Cold Weather Illness Prevention Measures), Homeplus produced and distributed cold weather illness prevention kits for field employees and partner company workers who work outdoors during winter when temperatures drop sharply, risking frostbite or hypothermia.

A Homeplus official stated, “In addition to distributing cold weather illness prevention kits to outdoor field workers, Homeplus plans to continue providing preventive education and guidance activities for cold weather illness prevention to each worker at the headquarters level.”
