Administrative efforts will also be focused on accident prevention, including conducting safety accident prevention education.

Last month, all participants in the Senior Employment Project were provided with high-visibility vests and hats that are easily noticeable from a distance.

A county official stated, “We will spare no effort to support the elderly participants so that they can work safely.”

Meanwhile, to ensure stable income for elderly participants in the Senior Employment Project, the county plans to extend the number of activity days for public interest and market-type participants starting in October.
