This training was conducted for public officials and site managers responsible for construction projects and business operations over 100 million KRW in Pohang City, aiming to strengthen on-site safety management capabilities at city workplaces and improve safety awareness in industrial sites.

On this day, the training focused on overall awareness improvement regarding industrial safety, cases and causes related to the "Serious Accidents Punishment Act," and "Safety at Construction Sites by Case." Additionally, a Safety and Health Keeper appointment ceremony was held.

The Safety and Health Keepers consist of three private industrial safety experts who will visit about 30 workplaces until the end of the year, guiding and encouraging site managers to autonomously improve hazardous and risky factors. Through this training, the Keepers enhanced their work capabilities and expertise for on-site inspections.
