The Industrial Safety and Health Committee, established under the Industrial Safety and Health Act, is a consultative body in which both employer and employee representatives participate to discuss and decide on matters critical to workplace safety and health. The committee plays a vital role in preventing industrial accidents and protecting workers' health.

This session was attended by a total of 10 members, including representatives of both employers and employees. After receiving reports from the relevant department regarding the annual occupational safety and health management plan and ongoing safety and health work initiatives, the committee reviewed and approved three items: ▲ the appointment and regular training plan for supervisors in the first half of the year ▲ the plan for conducting workplace environmental assessments in the first half ▲ and the plan to revise the confined space work program.

Cho Hyunae, Deputy Mayor of Gimcheon, emphasized, "Both management and labor must take an active interest in order to prevent industrial accidents," and urged continued cooperation to "create a safe work environment where employees can work with peace of mind."

The city plans to create a safe and reassuring work environment for employees by inspecting compliance with proper safety rules, such as the wearing of personal protective equipment and adherence to work procedures, and thereby prevent industrial accidents.
