This delivery was carried out as part of a public-private joint activity to spread a safety culture within in-house partner companies and the local community, which Samsung Biologics and the Ministry of Employment and Labor launched on the same day.

On that day, both parties held a meeting at Samsung Biologics headquarters in Songdo, Incheon, where they listened to safety and health difficulties from partner companies and discussed improvement measures. They reaffirmed their commitment to systematically managing workplace safety and health, including heat-related illnesses during the peak summer season.

The meeting was attended by Min Gilsu, head of the Central Branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Noh Gyun, Vice President of Samsung Biologics (Chief Safety and Health Officer), and other officials from both sides, along with representatives from eight in-house partner companies of Samsung Biologics. Director Min emphasized the necessity of workplace safety and health management and promised to continue support on-site, moving away from the image of government agency supervision.

Both parties plan to distribute traffic safety promotional materials to kindergartens near the workplaces in the future. Additionally, they will jointly conduct a public-private campaign to spread safety culture in the local community by educating personal mobility (PM) device users in Songdo and distributing heat illness prevention and safety culture promotional materials at large-scale construction sites.

This activity was planned as part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for spreading safety culture signed by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and Samsung Biologics in May. Both parties have established 15 detailed activity plans across four areas: education, promotion, campaigns, and practical consultative bodies, and are conducting public-private joint activities to spread safety culture. Furthermore, to strengthen the implementation of workplace safety and health, they are conducting on-site training visits by the head of the Industrial Accident Prevention Guidance Division, operating practical consultative bodies, and discussing improvements to safety and health-related regulations.

A Samsung Biologics official said, "Together with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, we plan to contribute to spreading safety culture in the local community through ongoing public-private joint campaigns such as raising safety awareness and improving safety culture."
