Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency Holds "Cold-Related Illness Prevention Campaign" with Three Organizations Including Next Generation Convergence Technology Institute on the 25th

On November 25, the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency held a campaign in the first-floor lobby together with the Gwanggyo Technovalley Public Institution Safety Council to raise awareness of cold-related illness prevention and worker health management during winter.

This campaign was organized to proactively reduce the number of cold-related illness incidents that increase as temperatures drop, as well as to prevent wintertime industrial accidents and promote worker health.

The event was jointly hosted by four organizations in the safety council: the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency, the Next Generation Convergence Technology Institute, the Korea Nano Technology Research Society, and the Gyeonggi Regional Headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency.

More than 100 workers from tenant companies in Gwanggyo Technovalley and visitors attended the event, learning about the main causes of cold-related illnesses in winter and how to respond, while sharing the importance of health management.

Various programs were also operated to allow participants to experience and recognize the importance of health management firsthand.

The Korea Health Association operated a blood glucose testing booth, checking blood sugar levels for those vulnerable to cold-related illnesses, such as diabetes patients, assessing potential risks, and providing tailored health management guidance, which was met with a positive response.

The "Life Four-Cut Photo Wall" was set up under the theme of "Creating a Healthy Workplace," where participants expressed their commitment to health management by taking photos holding safety pledge signs.

Participants in the campaign received informational leaflets on the main symptoms and prevention guidelines for cold-related illnesses, as well as practical safety items such as wrist supports, stress balls, and emergency kits for everyday use.

In September last year, the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency jointly launched the "Zero Industrial Accidents" campaign with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, and has since continued to expand its efforts to create a safer work environment.

Going forward, the agency plans to focus on sharing information with organizations within the local industrial complex to improve safety standards throughout Gwanggyo Technovalley.

Kim Hyungon, President of the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency, said, "I hope this campaign will serve as an opportunity to raise workers' awareness of winter health management," adding, "We will do our utmost to create an environment in Gwanggyo Technovalley where everyone can work with peace of mind, in close cooperation with the member organizations of the council."
