Dongdaemun-gu, Safety and Health Education for Participants in Public Job Projects
First Round Selection Completed for Second Half Public Job Projects (Donghaeng Jobs and Community Jobs)
All Participants to Start Work with ‘Safety and Health Education’ on July 3
Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) announced on July 3 that the first round of selection for participants in the second half public job projects (Donghaeng Jobs and Community Jobs) was completed on June 27.
The second half ‘Public Job Projects,’ aimed at supporting household stability for low-income vulnerable groups and creating local jobs, selected 264 participants for Donghaeng Jobs and 10 participants for Community Jobs. They began work starting with ‘Safety and Health Education’ on July 3.
Due to an increase in recruitment numbers for the second half, additional recruitment will be conducted in July for the expanded number of participants beyond the original plan (321 for Donghaeng Jobs and 16 for Community Jobs).
The ‘Safety and Health Education’ held at the multipurpose auditorium on the 2nd floor of the district office was conducted by a professional instructor from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency. The two-hour session from 10 a.m. covered raising safety awareness to prevent workplace accidents and industrial disasters, as well as case studies and prevention measures for accidents involving public job workers.
Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “This summer is expected to have higher temperatures than usual and a prolonged rainy season, so I urge public job participants who engage in many outdoor activities to take special care of their health. I hope today’s education served as an opportunity to raise safety awareness and familiarize participants with various accident prevention measures.”
