Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun Visits Female Environmental Managers' Rest Shelter to Offer Encouragement

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City Mayor Lee Jae-jun visited the female environmental managers' rest shelter in Yeonmu-dong on the 14th, where he spoke with the environmental managers and offered them encouragement.

Mayor Lee said, "I am grateful to all of you who diligently fulfill your duties and keep our streets clean despite the extreme heat," and added, "I hope you will prioritize health and safety in your work." He further stated, "I will not spare support so that you can work in better environmental conditions."

The city has established and implemented measures to ensure the safety of outdoor workers, including environmental managers. On days when the heat index exceeds 30°C, workers are given regular breaks of 10 to 15 minutes or more every hour, and outdoor work is discouraged.

Additionally, the city conducts its own training on heat-related illness prevention and conducts daily health checks using a heat-related illness prevention self-inspection checklist during lunch and break times.

Rest shelters (12 locations) for female environmental managers are being operated separately, and personal safety alert devices have been distributed to female environmental managers so they can make emergency contact calls in case of crisis.
