Additionally, further training is scheduled to take place at the Gangwon Provincial Office of Education Training Institute on Thursday, October 23.

This training is a statutory requirement under the Industrial Safety and Health Act, designed to prevent industrial accidents and create a safe working environment. In light of the continued occurrence of serious and industrial accidents, the responsibilities and roles of supervisors are being emphasized. To enhance on-site responsiveness, the program was structured around real-world case studies.

The training was conducted twice in the first half of the year, on April 15 and 29. In the second half, it will be held twice more, in September and October, with each session lasting eight hours, for a total of four sessions annually.

The main topics covered include: the obligations of supervisors under the Industrial Safety and Health Act and the Serious Accident Punishment Act; the role of supervisors in preventing industrial accidents; and practical, field-based management of hazardous chemicals and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

Kim Myungbok, Director of the Safety and Welfare Division, stated, "We expect this training to further enhance the safety management capabilities of supervisors," and added, "We will continue to provide ongoing training and field-oriented support to prevent accidents in advance and ensure that a culture of safety takes root in school settings."
