Improvement of Construction Site Toilet Installation Standards... Waiver of Issuance Fees for Career Certificates

With this amendment, the standards for installing toilets at shift work sites will be rationally changed. Until now, when calculating the number of toilet seats, the day and night shift workers were combined, resulting in excessive installation of toilets. From now on, the number of workers during the busiest time period can be used as the standard.

The fee (2,000 won) that construction workers had to pay when obtaining a certificate of career experience from the Construction Workers Mutual Aid Association will be eliminated. There will also be no fee when issuing the certificate online.

Since the electronic card system is being fully implemented this year, measures to promote its spread have also been included. The retirement mutual aid establishment report form now includes guidance on the installation and operation of electronic card terminals. Employers enrolled in the retirement mutual aid must register the electronic card terminal information or the location information of the mobile communication device application on site as mandatory.

Additionally, to help construction workers easily identify workplaces enrolled in the retirement mutual aid, the amendment includes a provision to post a 'Retirement Mutual Aid Enrolled Workplace Sign' at the entrance of the workplace or site office.
