Busan Regional Headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency conducted a campaign at Busan National University Hospital.

This Safe Workplace Creation Day campaign was jointly organized by the Busan Regional Headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, which serves as the Busan Regional Safety Culture Practice Task Force, and the Serious Accident Prevention Team at Busan National University Hospital (Director: Jeong Seongwoon). The campaign targeted citizens, hospital staff, and patients, distributing heat illness prevention items containing the five key rules for heatwave safety (such as fans, glucose candy, and ion drinks) and prevention guides (OPS), as well as promotional items with safety messages (wet wipes). The purpose was to raise awareness about the prevention of heat-related illnesses and the importance of safety.

The five key rules for heatwave safety are "water, shade, rest, cooling equipment, and emergency measures." The safety messages promoted were "Safe Workplace" and "Everyone's Happiness."

The campaign team visited entrances to subway stations near Busan National University Hospital and various workplaces within the hospital (such as offices and cafeterias) to spread the five key rules for heatwave safety and emphasize the importance of preventing industrial accidents.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency conduct Safe Workplace Creation Day campaigns every month, focusing on key safety factors by industry and season. They also carry out a variety of activities, including on-site inspections within the jurisdiction and joint campaigns with the Busan Regional Safety Culture Practice Task Force.
