[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Yeoju City announced on the 31st that it conducted on-site safety inspections at construction sites and seasonal workers' workplaces in preparation for the prolonged heat wave.

This inspection was implemented as a measure to examine the working conditions of outdoor workers vulnerable to the heat wave and to prevent damages caused by the extreme heat in advance.

On the morning of the 30th, Vice Mayor Jo Jung-a visited the Ohak Culture and Welfare Center construction site in the Hyeonam-dong area of Yeoju City to inspect working conditions and listen to workers' grievances, and then visited a nearby Gazi Farm to examine the work status of seven seasonal workers from Laos.
