Discussion on Safety and Accident Prevention Measures for EDC Section 3-2

Emphasis on Thorough Workplace Safety Management and Prevention of Heat-Related Illnesses

Busan Metropolitan Corporation (BMC, President Kim Yonghak) announced on the 8th that it visited the construction site of the Busan Eco Delta City Phase 3, Section 2 Land Development Project (EDC 3-2 Section) to hold a safety and health meeting at the construction site.

The meeting, held for site personnel, was organized to check site management in preparation for summer natural disasters such as typhoons, heavy rain, and heat waves, to discuss measures for preventing industrial accidents, and to listen to the opinions of workers.

On the 5th, about 20 participants attended the meeting, which was hosted by the project department, including the EDC 3-2 Section construction project management team, the contractor, and partner companies.

At the meeting, BMC provided various safety and health information, including the monthly safety and health newsletter, guidelines for preventing heat-related illnesses among outdoor workers, and safety rules for conduit construction during the summer rainy season.

In addition, BMC encouraged the efforts of site personnel and urged special attention to issues such as soil erosion and ensuring the stability of excavation structures due to ground weakening caused by recent consecutive heavy rains.

To protect outdoor workers, BMC requested thorough site safety management, including providing sufficient rest periods and implementing special measures to prevent heat-related illnesses.

BMC plans to continue sharing various information to prevent safety accidents in the second half of the year and to carry out a range of safety and health activities, such as the 'Near-Miss Experience Essay Contest' and simulation training tailored to hazardous risk factors by work type.

Kim Yonghak, President of Busan Metropolitan Corporation, said, "We will do our best to actively communicate with stakeholders such as subcontractors to listen to and improve various opinions, and to strengthen the joint cooperation system for preventing industrial accidents."
