Busan Port Authority Distributes Cooling Supplies to Over 1,300 Port Workers to Prevent Heat Illness

Cooling Headscarves and Arm Sleeves Provided
for North Port and New Port Workers

Busan Port Authority (BPA, President Song Sanggeun) has begun supporting port workers at Busan Port to help them cope with the summer heat ahead of the peak hot season.

Busan Port Authority announced on July 1 that it has provided heat illness prevention supplies to over 1,300 port workers working at Busan Port's North Port and New Port.

Port cargo handling sites are considered challenging summer work environments due to the radiant heat from the concrete ground, which lacks shade, and high humidity that increases the perceived temperature. Ensuring the safety of port workers who work outdoors for extended periods has also become an important task.

Busan Port Authority is providing heat illness prevention supplies to over 1,300 port workers working at Busan Port's North Port and New Port.

This year, the authority distributed items such as cooling headscarves and arm sleeves to help workers cope with extreme heat, supporting the creation of a safer work environment.

Every year, Busan Port Authority provides safety supplies to port workers tailored to summer and winter working conditions, striving to improve on-site safety management and worker welfare.

Song Sanggeun, President of Busan Port Authority, stated, "With heatwaves becoming more frequent in the summer due to climate change, preventing heat-related illnesses has become a key issue for on-site safety management. We will continue to provide on-site safety support and improve the working environment so that port workers can work in safer conditions."
