KOSHA Works Hard on Flood Damage Recovery Efforts

The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency conducted volunteer activities for flood recovery work around Dongcheon in Ulsan, which was damaged by Typhoon Khanun, the 6th typhoon, on the 11th.

In Ulsan, heavy rain fell in a short period due to the typhoon, causing flood warnings on the Taehwa River and resulting in repeated river overflows and flooding damage.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, but damage occurred such as the exterior walls of the model house building falling off and flooding of buildings and roads.

In response, about 100 employees of public institutions located in Jung-gu, Ulsan, including the Safety Love Volunteer Group of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, Korea National Oil Corporation, and Korea Energy Agency, as well as local residents, carried out maintenance volunteer activities around Dongcheon on that day.

Director An Jong-ju said, “The embankment of Dongcheon was flooded by the typhoon, and trash and various debris brought in from the surroundings piled up, raising concerns about the safety of local residents.”

He added, “Safety is one of the most important factors in the lives of the people. As an agency that prioritizes safety, the agency will continue to actively promote activities that fulfill its social responsibility for the safety and development of the region.”
