Seongnam City Deploys 'Nodong Anjeon Jikimi' to Prevent Industrial Workplace Accidents

The labor safety guardian is visiting industrial sites to inspect whether any accidents have occurred.

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is launching the 'Labor Safety Guardians' to prevent industrial accidents.

The Labor Safety Guardians are Seongnam City's industrial site safety monitors, composed of certified professionals such as industrial safety engineers and individuals with over 30 years of practical experience in related fields.

Working in pairs, they will visit 1,500 construction and manufacturing sites by December 19 to conduct accident prevention activities.

The target facilities include 400 small-scale private construction sites with construction costs under 6 billion KRW and 1,100 manufacturing workplaces with fewer than 50 employees.

The guardians will check for the use of personal protective equipment, compliance with industrial safety and health standards, and appropriate staffing at each site. They will also recommend voluntary improvements for minor safety violations found during inspections.

Additionally, sites with poor safety measures will be reported to the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency for focused inspections to prevent accidents, and campaigns promoting adherence to safety rules will be conducted.

A city official stated, "Last year, Seongnam City's Labor Safety Guardians inspected 358 industrial sites and carried out activities to prevent industrial accidents."
