Incheon utilizes a game show format for safety training among migrant factory workers. At the Incheon Foreign Worker Support Center, 200 operators and workers engaged in true-or-false quizzes to learn about workplace safety. This interactive approach was inspired by a popular Korean TV quiz show and aimed to overcome language barriers faced by the migrant workforce.
The Challenge! Safety Golden Bell, organized jointly by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and Incheon Metropolitan Government, brought together workers from Myanmar, the Philippines, Nepal, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The training focused on industrial disaster prevention, first aid, fire protocols, and everyday safety through elimination rounds.
This initiative addresses a critical issue in Korea's industrial sector, which relies heavily on foreign labor due to a shrinking domestic workforce and an aging population. Incheon, a major port city and industrial hub, benefits from this innovative safety training program.
