This council, which is operated regularly once a month in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, brought together 33 participants on this day, including staff from the Hapcheon County Forestry Division, supervisors from the Korea Federation of Forest Cooperatives, and site representatives from 19 construction companies.
