On August 20, the two organizations held "Safety and Health Education to Promote the Spread of a Serious Accident Prevention Culture" for high-risk workplaces in the construction and manufacturing sectors in the area.

This training was organized in conjunction with the full-scale implementation of the "Safe Workplace Project," aiming to enhance workplaces' autonomous safety and health management capabilities and to spread a culture of industrial accident prevention.

The "Safe Workplace Project" is an initiative that emphasizes compliance with 12 key safety rules to prevent the five major types of serious accidents-falls, collisions, entrapment, fires and explosions, and suffocation-as well as heat-related illnesses caused by heat waves. The Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency are closely managing and supervising high-risk workplaces nationwide, with the goal of reducing industrial accidents.

Kwon Guhyung, head of the Yangsan Branch, emphasized, "The main causes of frequent fatal accidents in our jurisdiction are mostly due to non-compliance with basic safety rules," adding, "It is most important to thoroughly implement the 12 key safety rules in the field."
