Dongdaemun-gu, Creating a Zero Serious Accident Workplace

‘On-site Safety Meetings for Field Workers’ Held from July 20 to 28

Efforts to Build Consensus and Establish a Safety Culture to Achieve Zero Serious Accidents

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) is holding ‘On-site Safety Meetings for Field Workers’ for field workers affiliated with Dongdaemun-gu to prevent serious accidents and establish a safety culture at the work sites.

The meetings will be held nine times in total from July 20 to 28. The Safety Disaster and Serious Accident Prevention Team will visit outdoor field workers directly to assess the workplace conditions and listen to the voices of the workers on site.

On the 21st, the meeting was held at Baebongsan Neighborhood Park, where field workers from the Parks and Greenery Division are stationed. During the meeting, basic safety rules for preventing serious accidents and safety guidelines for preventing heat-related illnesses during heat waves were emphasized. Cool towels, selected as safety items through feedback from the Industrial Safety and Health Committee, were also distributed.

The cool towels were printed with the serious accident zero safety slogan, "Serious Accident ZERO, Safety Rules I Follow, Preventable Safety Accidents," so that workers could naturally recognize the slogan while using the towels and participate in practicing safety rules.

In addition to the Baebongsan Neighborhood Park site, the district plans to continue holding meetings to raise safety awareness by visiting other sites such as the maintenance site of street tree green belts along Jungnangcheon Stream, rainwater drain keeper sites, and sewage facility management sites to listen to the voices of field workers and guide safety rules.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “This on-site safety meeting is significant in building consensus on the importance of safety,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen communication on site and do our best to establish a safety culture to create a safe workplace free of serious accidents.”
