In the safety management sector, plans include ▲safety and health education for on-site workers and supervisors ▲safety and health patrol inspections for public schools (institutions) ▲and services related to the Industrial Safety and Health Stepping Stone Project.

In the health management sector, initiatives include ▲performance evaluation of kitchen hoods ▲operation of mobile musculoskeletal health guardians ▲and lung cancer health screenings for food service workers.

This year, the risk assessment for industrial accident prevention, which was previously applied only to nutritionists, nutrition teachers, cooks, and facility managers under the Industrial Safety and Health Act, will be extended to all faculty and staff.

Joy Bong, Director of Safety General Affairs, said, “We hope that by continuously conducting safety and health education, faculty and staff will strictly follow safety and health rules themselves, creating a healthy and safe workplace that prioritizes safety.”
