This campaign aimed to raise awareness of the risks of heat-related illnesses in industrial sites, promote response guidelines and prevention rules, and establish a culture of wearing safety helmets. It was held at the Daewoo E&C Olympic Park Foreon (Dunchon Jugong Reconstruction) site. Key officials such as Jung Yoon-jin, head of the Seoul Eastern Branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Ko Gwang-jae, head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, as well as executives from Daewoo E&C and Dong-A Otsuka and site managers attended.

The campaign began with heat-related illness prevention education for workers prepared by the Dong-A Otsuka Science Team. Under the theme “Hydration for the Prevention of Heat-Related Illnesses,” the session covered prevention and response methods for heat-related illnesses. Additionally, education on the proper use of protective gear such as safety helmets was provided.

At the medical zone set up on site, workers participated directly in experiencing heat-related illness response solutions. Activities included temperature measurement, stress diagnosis through brainwave and pulse wave tests, ice tube experience, and drinking ion beverages. Medical staff from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency’s Health Center were also deployed to provide health consultations for workers during the event.

A Daewoo E&C official stated, “Amid unprecedented heatwaves, a consensus on spreading safety culture and preventing heat-related illnesses has been formed across all sites thanks to the special attention of company executives including the CEO and CSO,” adding, “We will strive to create a safe workplace continuously, not just as a one-time effort.”
