Cooperation will be made to enhance effectiveness of safety and health education for workers.

KOSHA (headed by President Baek, Hun-ki) singed ‘an MOU for sharing video contents for virtual safety experiences’ with SK Hynix located in Icheon on Friday, April 25.

The MOU is aimed at enhancing the effect of occupational accident prevention education by sharing educational video contents owned by KOSHA.

Through the MOU, KOSHA will support 20 types of 3D video content and 36 types of virtual reality video content for SK Hynix. SK Hynix will utilize the video content to educate workers of its headquarters and subcontractors in its Education Pavilion which started its operation last year.

In addition, posters and hazard label stickers developed by KOSHA will be provided to SK Hynix.

SK Hynix will develop its own video content for safety and health education. Once the development is completed, the video content will be jointly utilized by SK Hynix and KOSHA.

For business owners of SK Hynix's subcontractors with less than 50 employees, which are vulnerable to safety and health, KOSHA plans to implement the safety and health education including introducing the discount system for occupational accident insurance premium on the basis of the improvement in workplace's risk factors.

Since 2003, KOSHA has singed MOUs for exchanging educational videos for virtual safety experiences with six companies including POSCO Pohang Steel Plant, expanding the availability of using content for safety and health education in workplaces.

Choi, Hyung-chul, Director of Training and Media Department of KOSHA said, “Content using 3D videos or virtual reality could be highly used for occupational accident prevention education for workers through the indirect experiences.”“KOSHA will develop and share more content to help more workplaces use the content.” he added.
