Pocheon-si Launches Safety Awareness Improvement Campaign for Mobile Workers

A safety awareness improvement campaign is being conducted targeting two-wheeled delivery workers.

On the 23rd, Pocheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 24th that it conducted a safety awareness improvement campaign targeting motorcycle delivery workers at Songwoo Intersection in Soheul-eup, in collaboration with the Gyeonggi Job Foundation.

Officials distributed promotional materials to mobile workers to help raise their safety awareness.

A Pocheon City official stated, “Platform worker occupations such as mobile workers prioritize speed, which increases the risk of accidents. Pocheon City conducts year-round safety education and campaigns for mobile workers to reduce these risks even slightly and strives to spread a culture of safety. We hope today’s safety awareness improvement campaign will help improve the working environment for mobile workers.”

Meanwhile, to guarantee the health and rest rights of mobile workers whose workplaces are not fixed, such as courier drivers, delivery drivers, substitute drivers, and private tutor teachers, Pocheon City has been operating the Pocheon Mobile Workers’ Shelter (located at 5 Solmoru, Soheul-eup, next to Songwoo Homeplus) since 2022.

The shelter operates from 10 a.m. on weekdays until 6 a.m. the next day, and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends, providing not only rest spaces but also safety and health education.
