The Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service (President Park Jonggil) and Korea National Oil Corporation (President Kim Dongseop) signed a mutual cooperation agreement on May 13 to strengthen the social safety net for labor providers and to promote OPINET.
OPINET is an internet web and app-based oil price information service operated by Korea National Oil Corporation since 2008. It is a lifestyle platform used by an average of 520,000 people per day.
Through OPINET's web and app banners, which have provided highly useful information such as the lowest-priced gas stations to people whose work involves driving, the organizations plan to promote the employment and industrial accident insurance systems for labor providers.
Labor providers are individuals who directly provide labor for someone else's business. Nineteen occupations, including cargo truck drivers, quick service riders, and delivery drivers, are subject to mandatory enrollment in employment and industrial accident insurance.
The Service aims to actively promote OPINET, which provides valuable oil price information to labor providers such as cargo truck drivers, and to encourage the expansion of employment and industrial accident insurance coverage. Through this agreement, the two organizations seek to maximize the synergy of their promotional collaboration.
In addition, the two organizations have agreed to continue their cooperation by conducting joint campaigns in the second half of the year to promote employment and industrial accident insurance for labor providers and OPINET at highway rest areas and other locations.
President Park Jonggil stated, "Through this agreement, we will take the lead in providing practical information so that more labor providers can be protected by employment and industrial accident insurance, and in building a robust social safety net."
