Occupational Safety and Health Act,

Easy to understand in Cartoons

42 episodes about abiding by the OSH Act

KOSHA distributes 『Occupational Safety and Health Act in Cartoons』for better understanding of employers and employees on the Act.

The 『Occupational Safety and Health Act』(hereafter “the OSH Act”) gives employers a duty to take proper steps for occupational accident prevention. It, however, has not been easy to understand the complicated Provision of Act. Not only that, technical knowledge is required for many of contents.

○ This idea of KOSHA to make cartoons about the OSH Act comes from 『Occupational Safety·Health Regulations in Cartoons』which is published by KOSHA in 2015. The OSH regulations in Cartoons have help people in charge of safety and health to better understand OSH regulations.

○ In this regard, KOSHA publishes cartoons about the OSH Act to enhance safety awareness of general public and to raise ability of people on compliance with safety and health actions such as mandatory safety regulations.

 

□ This Picaresque style cartoon book includes written explanation of the provision on which each episode is based. In addition, distinctive characters in the cartoon helps readers to understand the contents better.

○ The cartoon book consist of 42 chapters each of which includes pictures(comic part) and detailed description(explanation part).

○ The comic part attracts the interest of employers and employees with comic about an imaginary accident case likely to occur based on legal provisions.

○ The detailed description in the explanation part would help employers and employees apply the case to their workplace with check points.

 

□ The 『Occupational Safety and Health in Cartoons』is now in the making by KOSHA and will be distributed from this October. Regional and Area offices of KOSHA will distribute the book to the target workplaces subject to technical assistance.

○ In addition, relevant organizations of KOSHA(1,645) such as private accident prevention bodies will distribute the cartoon book as well.

For the general public, the cartoon is posted on the official website of KOSHA (http://www.kosha.or.kr), updated serially on the Naver blog of KOSHA ('16.10.1~11.11, 42days), and kept in the public libraries(978 sites) nationwide.

 

□ Mr. Ryoo, Ho-jin, Director of Training and Media Bureau, said "KOSHA will step forward to contribute occupational accident prevention by developing OSH educational content targeting viewpoint of the general public."
