Approximately 25 participants attended the March Safe Workplace Day campaign, including representatives from the Busan Regional Employment and Labor Office (Director: Kim Junhui), the Busan Regional Headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, and safety and health officials from ship repair yards in Yeongdo-gu. They conducted on-site safety inspections and a mobile campaign at ship repair sites.
