This training, held as part of the regular quarterly program, lasted for six hours and was attended by workers from a variety of fields, including forest roads, urban forests, gardens, and forest recreation facility management.

The curriculum covered the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, safety in operating hazardous machinery and equipment, and key points of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. A professional instructor from a worker safety and health education institution delivered practical, case-based lectures tailored to on-site workers' perspectives.

Yangpyeong County expects that, since forestry and green space workers operate in high-risk environments such as with forestry machinery, equipment, and working at heights, this training will help raise awareness of accident prevention and health protection.

One participant said, "It was very helpful to learn about managing recurring musculoskeletal pain and the safety rules for equipment frequently used in the field," expressing satisfaction with the training.
