KOSHA Holds Concert to Prevent Heat-Related Illnesses

Music Concert Held on the Themes of Water, Shade, and Rest

The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA, President An Jong-ju) held a heat-related illness prevention concert in collaboration with Dong-A Otsuka at the Communication Zone of the International Safety and Health Exhibition Hall in Hall 2 of KINTEX Ilsan to commemorate the 2023 Industrial Safety and Health Month.

The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency held a music concert themed around the three key rules for preventing heat-related illnesses: water, shade, and rest.

The event featured a presentation on the risks of heat-related illnesses, followed by a music concert themed around the three key rules for preventing heat-related illnesses: water, shade, and rest.

The concert was designed to remind the public of what is necessary to prevent heat-related illnesses in the workplace, using familiar music related to water, shade, and rest as the background.

After the concert, 13,000 ion drinks prepared by Dong-A Otsuka and heat-related illness prevention guidelines prepared by KOSHA were distributed to visitors. Unlike commercially available drinks, the neck tags on the distributed beverages featured printed messages promoting heat-related illness prevention, attracting participants' attention.

Choi Sung-won, Director of Education and Public Relations at KOSHA, stated, “With climate change causing prolonged heatwaves, concerns about heat-related illnesses in industrial sites are increasing. We will continue to promote occupational accident prevention guidelines and workplace health through public events such as concerts that are easily accessible to the public.”

Following the heat-related illness prevention concert, KOSHA plans to conduct nationwide safety culture promotion campaigns during the Industrial Safety and Health Month in July and continue various communications to prevent occupational accidents.
