Foreign Managers Receive Job Training Via the Internet

OSHTI opened internet job training courses for foreign managers

 

□ OSH educational courses in English have been created to facilitate safety & health training for foreigners as well.

 

□ The Occupational Safety and Health Training Institute (OSHTI) of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (Director General: Shin In-Jae) announced its plan to develop an English website and English language contents and run internet job training courses for foreign managers starting from April in order to keep up with the globalization era.

 

□ the job training for foreign managers will consist of 6 courses in 3 different industries (manufacturing, construction, and others).

 

This year's courses will include contents for improving the job competency of managers, such as general safety & health, and examples of occupational accidents, etc.

 

□ According to occupational accident statistics, 6,728 foreign workers experienced occupational accidents last year alone, of which 88 died.

 

* According to 'Foreigners' Korean Proficiency' of the Korea Labor Institute, only 43.2% of foreign workers can have simple communication in Korean, and 12.3% can barely speak Korean.

 

Director General Shin of OSHTI said "foreign workers in Korea are more likely to experience occupational accidents than Korean workers due to lack of communication and experience", and added, "we will remove the blind spot of safety & health education by building infrastructure for foreign workers' job training, and lead the way of occupational accident prevention for those groups especially vulnerable to safety and health risks.
