Adding color to delivery worker safety!

Adding color to delivery worker safety!

The Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency (Chairman Jong-Joo Ahn) held an event on Wednesday, December 11 to provide notified personnel protection equipment to delivery workers belonging to the delivery platform Deliver to prevent traffic accidents involving delivery workers using two-wheeled vehicles.

A state in which the subject can be visually identified and recognized very easily.

Compared to cars, two-wheeled vehicles are smaller and faster, so there is a high risk of them being in the blind spot of the driver’s view. In addition, many delivery workers wear dark clothing and use delivery boxes, so traffic accidents frequently occur at night and in the early morning when other drivers do not recognize the two-wheeled vehicles.

At the delivery ceremony held at the Deliver Gimhae Regional Center in Gimhae, Gyeongnam Province, delivery workers were provided with ▲safety helmets ▲safety vests ▲delivery boxes that feature high visibility using fluorescent colors or retroreflective materials* that reflect light well.

A material that has the property of reflecting light in the direction it came from when it hits the surface of an object. It is expected that this ceremony will serve as an opportunity for delivery workers to increase their use of high-visibility clothing and delivery boxes. Chairman Jong-ju Ahn of the Industrial Complex said, “We will work with major delivery platform companies to prevent traffic accidents and spread a safety culture for delivery workers using this ceremony as an opportunity,” and “We will not spare our support in the future to prevent industrial accidents for labor providers working in blind spots of safety.”
