Busan Office of Education Distributes 2,300 Cooling Storage Containers for On-site Workers to Prepare for Heatwave
Proactive Measures to Prevent Heat-Related Occupational Accidents
Prevention Guide Posted, Systematic Prevention Framework
The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has taken preemptive measures to protect workers ahead of this summer, which is expected to be hotter than usual.
The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Ha Yoonsoo) announced on the 3rd that it will distribute 2,300 cooling gear items (ice neckbands) and a heat illness prevention guide to schools and educational administrative institutions to prevent industrial accidents such as heatstroke that may occur due to summer heat waves.
This measure follows the unseasonal heat in April and the Korea Meteorological Administration's forecast that this year will be hotter than average.
The cooling gear is expected to provide practical help to on-site workers such as facility managers, cleaning staff, and kitchen staff who work in environments vulnerable to summer heat waves.
In addition, the Busan Office of Education has delivered the heat illness prevention guide to schools and instructed them to post it on site.
The office also provided guidance on advance inspections using the heat illness prevention rules and self-checklists, and has worked to establish a self-regulatory prevention system to help prevent industrial accidents.
