19^th October, 2012

KOSHA visited printing work places in Seoul as part of its ‘field-focused management’ efforts which monitor OSH status at the field through visiting work places.

KOSHA’s president Hun-ki Baek and staff members who visited the printing work place in Jung-gu, Seoul on 19, October to identify current level of accidents, discussed OSH measures with workers from the work site.

President Baek emphasized the urgent need to set up prevention policies against crushes and being stuck which are frequent in the printing work places. He said KOSHA’s fiscal assistance to work places with less than 50 workers for improving facilities would be helpful, after he checked the supporting level for workers’ health.

Prior to this visit the president had a meeting with printing sector’s employers in the Seoul Printing Information Industry Cooperative, encouraging them to pay attention to and invest in the prevention methods and content of the Memorandum of Understanding between KOSHA and the Seoul Printing Information Industry Cooperative, signed April.
