First Operation of 'Industrial Safety Keeper' to Create a Safe Working Environment in Jeonnam Region

Appointment of 19 Industrial Safety Experts

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The 'Industrial Safety Keeper' for preventing industrial accidents and creating a safe working environment in the Jeonnam region is being operated for the first time.

Jeonnam Province announced on the 29th that it held the 'Jeonnam Province Industrial Safety Keeper' appointment ceremony on the 28th.

The Industrial Safety Keeper consists of 19 industrial safety experts, including those holding industrial safety-related certifications and those who have been active for more than three years in related organizations and groups.

They play a role in preventing industrial accidents by inspecting on-site safety rules such as ▲wearing safety equipment ▲protective measures for hazardous machinery ▲placement of signalers ▲installation of fall prevention devices at construction sites ordered by Jeonnam Province and city/counties and small manufacturing companies with fewer than 50 employees.

Any issues detected during on-site inspections will be immediately guided for correction, and for workplaces with poor safety, re-inspections will be conducted to verify whether corrective actions have been implemented.

In cases of serious violations, the matters will be handed over to the local Employment and Labor Office and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency to promote effective inspections.

Jeonnam Province plans to expand the scope of Industrial Safety Keeper operations by establishing a close cooperative system, including joint inspections with the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency.

Oh Sumi, head of the Small and Medium Venture Business Division of Jeonnam Province, said, "We hope that Jeonnam will become free of industrial accidents through the active activities of the Industrial Safety Keeper," and added, "We will do our best so that workers can work with peace of mind."
