Gwangju City announced on the 24th that it is directly visiting workplaces such as local apartment construction sites to provide industrial accident prevention education interpretation and translation services for foreign workers.

The Gwangju Foreign Resident Support Center, which opened in April, visits sites where industrial accidents frequently occur, such as manufacturing and construction industries, to provide on-site customized industrial accident prevention education interpretation and translation of educational materials, covering ▲current status of industrial accidents ▲accident cases and safety measures ▲safety measures for heatwaves and cold spells ▲major accident cases.

The Foreign Resident Support Center helps improve participation and understanding in education by providing interpretation services for foreign workers who are not proficient in Korean, thereby promoting safety awareness among workers. So far, the center has visited eight sites including construction sites and supported interpretation and translation in eight languages such as Vietnamese and Uzbek for 285 people. The interpretation and translation support project is open for ongoing recruitment targeting workplaces employing foreign workers.

Lee Young-dong, Director of the Women and Family Bureau, said, “We will actively support raising foreign workers’ awareness of industrial accident prevention and creating a safe working environment by continuously providing interpretation and translation services for industrial site safety education.”

Meanwhile, in addition to the industrial accident prevention education interpretation and translation support project, the Gwangju Foreign Resident Support Center also assists foreign residents’ stable settlement in the region through multilingual daily life counseling, on-site counseling visits, consultations and settlement education with invited legal, labor, and medical experts, Korean language education, and informatization education.
