According to statistics from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, 1,833 cases of cold-related illnesses have occurred over the past five years, and construction workers who work outdoors for extended periods are relatively more likely to suffer from conditions such as hypothermia, frostbite, and muscle cramps.

Accordingly, the two organizations carried out the campaign with a focus on compliance with cold-related illness prevention guidelines and improvement of working environments, reflecting the unique characteristics of construction sites during severe winter.

Jang Chungmo, President of Jeonnam Development Corporation, stated, "We will strengthen continuous inspections and monitoring activities to prevent safety accidents and quality deterioration at construction sites caused by cold waves," adding, "We will do our best to establish a comfortable and safe working environment."
