Gyeonggi-do, Joint Inspection for 'Industrial Accident Prevention' at Manufacturing Companies in Gunpo Area

Geum Cheol-wan, Director of the Gyeonggi-do Labor Bureau, and Nam Kyung-soon, Vice Chairman of the Gyeonggi-do Council, visited a manufacturing company in Gunpo on the 19th to inspect safety management conditions.

On the 19th, Gyeonggi Province conducted a joint inspection at two manufacturing sites in Gunpo City to prevent industrial accidents.

Nam Kyung-soon, Vice Chairman of the Gyeonggi Provincial Council's Economic and Labor Committee, and Geum Cheol-wan, Director of the Gyeonggi Province Labor Bureau, participated in the joint inspection to assess the conditions of small-scale manufacturing sites and verify compliance with the Industrial Safety and Health Act.

Additionally, following the expansion of the obligation to install rest facilities for workplaces with 20 or more regular employees (and construction sites with project costs exceeding 2 billion KRW) since August 18, rest facilities for workers were also inspected.

Geum Cheol-wan, Director of the Gyeonggi Province Labor Bureau, stated, "A fatal accident recently occurred at a bakery in Seongnam City, becoming a social issue. Especially since small-scale workplaces operate in more hazardous environments, we will establish and implement policies to improve labor conditions."

Nam Kyung-soon, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Council, said, "We must conduct regular on-site inspections and provide improvement guidance at workplaces where industrial accidents are a concern to create a safe working environment. Going forward, the Gyeonggi Provincial Council will also show greater interest and support to ensure the successful implementation of the Labor Safety Guardian project."
