In order to protect the health rights of courier workers and strengthen the safety net at logistics sites, a customized medical check-up service, in which professional medical staff visit terminals nationwide, is being implemented. The aim is to go beyond simply encouraging hospital visits by providing medical services tailored to the working environment, thereby proactively preventing safety accidents.


Hanjin Launches Mobile Health Check-up Service for Courier Workers, Touring Over 180 Terminals Nationwide View original image

Hanjin announced on March 5 that it has launched a "mobile health check-up service" for 10,000 people, including courier drivers, agency managers, and line-haul drivers, starting from the end of last month. This service is designed to accommodate on-site workers who have limited free time: buses equipped with medical professionals will sequentially visit approximately 180 terminals across the country.


The check-up schedule begins in Seoul and the metropolitan area, moves to the Chungcheong region this month, then to the Yeongnam and Honam regions in April and May, and concludes on Jeju Island in June. The examination covers more than 60 items, including cerebrovascular and cardiovascular systems, electrocardiograms, and stress diagnostics, enabling precise diagnoses tailored to the specific nature of their work.


Hanjin plans to focus on preventing diseases among workers in advance and establishing a safe delivery environment through this check-up initiative. Workers have responded positively, noting that it is efficient to receive examinations directly at the terminals where they report to work each day.



A Hanjin representative stated, "Managing the health of our workers, who are at the core of the logistics industry, is the top priority for ensuring workplace safety," adding, "We will continue to expand our win-win programs to create an environment where all workers can work safely in the future."
