Ulsan Office of Education Promotes Health Improvement Project for School Meal Workers

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has been promoting the ‘School Janggeumi Health Promotion Project’ in collaboration with the Ulsan Nam-gu Public Health Center from last September until this December.

Now in its fifth year of operation, this project targets school meal service workers in the Nam-gu area, including nutrition teachers, cooks, and kitchen assistants.

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education, together with the Nam-gu Public Health Center, is spending 20.99 million KRW on activities such as taping, walking, health gymnastics classes, training health guardians, running self-help groups, chronic disease management programs, and job stress management.

On the 16th, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease prevention education was conducted at the Ulsan Science Museum’s Park Sang-jin Hall for 24 meal service workers from seven elementary and middle schools in the Nam-gu area.

This education was planned with the aim of preventing musculoskeletal disorders among school meal service workers and creating a healthy workplace. The session provided information on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and their prevention methods, physical symptoms appearing in cases of hypertension and diabetes, and chronic disease management in daily life.

A representative from the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education said, “We hope that this education, held during the chilly season, helps meal service workers properly understand cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and aids in disease prevention. We will strive to create a safe and healthy workplace free from industrial accidents.”

Last year, the average participation rate in the School Janggeumi Health Promotion Project was 93.9%, and the satisfaction rate was 95.9%.
