Bando Construction announced on the 29th that it will conduct "Visiting Worker Health Management" in collaboration with specialized medical institutions to prevent heat-related illnesses and proactively manage occupational diseases among workers.

Bando Construction is implementing a ‘Visiting Worker Health Management’ program in collaboration with specialized medical institutions to prevent heat-related illnesses and manage occupational diseases in advance. Health consultations by medical professionals will be provided to Bando Construction and partner company employees working at 14 sites nationwide.

On-site workers will have their body temperature, blood pressure, and simple blood sugar levels measured and complete a heat-related illness self-diagnosis form to receive health assessments and management advice. Even workers without any special findings will receive education on how to cope with the increased risk of heat-related illnesses during summer, following the provided guidelines.

Bando Construction also held a ‘Food Truck Event’ to encourage employees working hard under the scorching heat and provide them with a place to rest from the heat. On-site workers were given cool treats such as shaved ice with red beans (Patbingsu), ice vests, and ice packs. Shade tents were installed to allow for rest, break times were extended, and efforts were made to activate the right to stop work to thoroughly prevent heat-related illnesses on site.

Lee Jeong-ryeol, Head of the Construction Division at Bando Construction, said, "We are making every effort to strengthen the safety of workers working outdoors in the hot summer and improve working conditions. As the high-temperature phenomenon continues, we plan to continue company-wide ESG management practices by simultaneously managing on-site carbon emission data."
