Chungcheongnam-do Province Launches Agricultural Work Safety Managers to Combat Farm Accidents

Yesan, South Korea - The Chungcheongnam-do Agricultural Technology Administration (CTA) officially inaugurated its team of 'Agricultural Work Safety Managers' on April 18th at the Agri-Healing Center within the CTA. This initiative marks a significant step by the provincial agricultural authority to proactively address and mitigate the risks associated with agricultural work, which historically has a high rate of occupational accidents.

In a collaborative effort with agricultural technology centers in Cheonan, Boryeong, Asan, Dangjin, and Geumsan, the CTA selected and appointed ten dedicated Agricultural Work Safety Managers in March. These specialized personnel will be deployed directly to farms across the province, where they will provide crucial on-site consultations and technical support aimed at preventing work-related injuries and ensuring safer farming practices.

The launch ceremony served as a platform to formally recognize the newly appointed managers and equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge for their field assignments. The event included the presentation of appointment letters, followed by expert lectures and practical, field-oriented training sessions.

A key highlight of the ceremony was a lecture delivered by Lee Jin-hwa, CEO of HnH Consulting, focusing on 'Communication Skills with Farmers.' This session addressed the potential communication challenges the safety managers might encounter in the field and provided practical strategies for effective interaction and building rapport with the farming community.

Further enhancing their preparedness, a training session led by Professor Sohn Byung-chang of Nazarene University centered on real-life case studies of farm accidents. By examining an actual incident that occurred at a farm in Yeomchi-eup, Asan City, Professor Sohn guided the managers in identifying critical risk factors and developing effective preventative measures. This hands-on approach underscored the importance of strong on-site response capabilities.

The CTA is committed to continuous professional development for the safety managers. An advanced training session, scheduled for April 22nd, will be conducted by Professor Kim Hyo-cheol of the Korea National College of Agriculture and Fisheries. This in-depth program will involve practical exercises at local farms, where the managers will actively identify potential hazards and formulate detailed improvement plans.

A participant from the Asan Agricultural Technology Center expressed optimism about the impact of the training, stating, "Once all the training is completed, we anticipate a significant strengthening of the core competencies required for agricultural work safety managers in the field, including analytical and problem-solving skills." This sentiment reflects the high expectations for the initiative's success in enhancing farm safety.

Seo Dong-cheol, Head of the Rural Resources Division at the CTA, emphasized the importance of this new program, saying, "We hope that this launch ceremony will encourage many farmers to more actively utilize agricultural work safety technology to prevent accidents. We will continue to provide ongoing education and customized support to address the technical difficulties encountered in the field."

The establishment of the Agricultural Work Safety Managers underscores Chungcheongnam-do Province's commitment to prioritizing the well-being of its agricultural workforce. By proactively deploying trained professionals to farms, the province aims to cultivate a safer working environment, reduce the incidence of farm-related injuries, and ultimately contribute to a more sustainable and secure agricultural sector. This initiative is expected to serve as a model for other agricultural regions in South Korea seeking to improve farm safety standards. The long-term success of this program will be measured by a tangible decrease in agricultural accidents and an increased awareness and adoption of safe farming practices among the province's farmers.
