Anyang City in Gyeonggi Province is recruiting 'Labor Safety Guardians.'

Labor Safety Guardians conduct inspections and guidance activities on violations of industrial safety and health standards, such as failure to wear safety protective equipment or defective fall prevention nets, at construction sites with a project scale of less than 5 billion KRW, where industrial accident prevention management is relatively weak, as well as manufacturing and logistics workplaces with fewer than 50 regular workers (5 to 49 employees).

Last year, the appointed Labor Safety Guardians inspected a total of 418 industrial sites in the district 715 times over about 10 months, identifying 1,055 hazardous factors. Among them, 895 cases were improved, significantly contributing to the prevention of industrial accidents.

This year, Anyang City is again recruiting industrial safety experts as Labor Safety Guardians. Eligibility includes holders of related certifications such as Construction Safety Engineer, Industrial Safety Engineer, Industrial Safety Instructor, or those with more than three years of practical experience related to industrial safety. The application period is until the 26th of this month.

Mayor Choi Dae-ho of Anyang said, "To prevent industrial accidents, which are a great tragedy not only for individuals but also for companies and the nation, we will actively implement various preventive activities such as Labor Safety Guardians to create a safe Anyang City."

Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of Employment and Labor, among the 874 industrial accident fatalities nationwide in 2022, more than 80%, or 707 people, were injured at workplaces with fewer than 50 employees. Anyang City expects that the activities of Labor Safety Guardians will be of great help to both workers and employers.
