Ulsan City will conduct asphyxiation hazard prevention training for workers operating in confined spaces.

On the 29th at 2 p.m., Ulsan City announced that it will hold specialized training for the qualification of "Measurement and Evaluation of Oxygen and Harmful Gas Concentrations" at the Citizens' Hall on the first floor of the City Council.

About 120 participants, including confined space work supervisors and workers, as well as company officials responsible for facilities directly or subcontracted by Ulsan City, will attend the training. The lecture will be given by Park Seong-sik, an industrial hygiene technician recommended by the Ulsan Regional Headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency.

The training content is designed to be applicable on-site and includes safety standards and preventive measures for confined space work, education on accident cases, measurement of mixed gas concentrations, and practical exercises on wearing protective equipment.

An official from Ulsan City stated, "This program was prepared to prevent industrial accidents and health hazards as asphyxiation accidents in confined spaces occur nationwide every year. We will do our best to create a safe working environment."

To strengthen safety and health management, Ulsan City proactively conducted guidance and inspections of confined space workplaces in June.
