Yeoncheon-gun conducted occupational safety and health training for new temporary workers. Yeoncheon-gun conducted occupational safety and health training for 61 newly hired temporary workers at the Yeoncheon Library audiovisual room on the 2nd.
Yeoncheon-gun conducted training to help workers prevent industrial accidents by acquiring knowledge about hazards and risk factors in the workplace and cultivating the ability to respond to them.
The training on this day focused on matters related to industrial safety and accident prevention, occupational health and occupational disease prevention, and inspection before starting work.
Yeoncheon County Mayor Kim Deok-hyun said, “We consider protecting the lives and safety of residents and workers as our top priority, and educate workers on safety and health measures to prevent harmful and hazardous factors and industrial accidents in the workplace so that workers can work safely. “We will do our best to ensure that safety and health culture takes root in all workplaces by ensuring that safety and health are implemented.”
Meanwhile, Yeoncheon-gun announced that in accordance with the policy of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, it will promote a ‘rice cultivation area adjustment system’ to resolve structural oversupply in the rice industry, stabilize rice prices, and improve farm income.
Yeoncheon-gun’s reduction target for this year, assigned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, is 378 ha. The rice cultivation area adjustment system, which will be implemented from 2025, plans to reduce the rice cultivation area in various ways through new parcels participating in strategic crop direct payment, conversion to eco-friendly certified rice, fallow cultivation, and planting of green manure crops.
Farmers who reduce their cultivation area will be given preferential treatment in allocating the amount of rice purchased from public reserves, revitalization of high-quality rice distribution, and preferential treatment for city/county applicants when applying for RPC rice purchase funds.
In addition, direct payments for strategic crops are planned to provide 5 million won per hectare for summer forage, 1 million won for wheat, 2 million won for pulses (soybeans, red beans, etc.), and 1 million won for edible corn and sesame (sesame, perilla). Applications can be made from the beginning of February to the end of May at the Industrial Team of the Administrative Welfare Center in towns and villages with large farmland areas.
A Yeoncheon-gun official said, “A consensus has been formed on the problems of rice oversupply, etc., but considering the situation in the agricultural field, it is not easy to induce participation in the rice cultivation area adjustment system. “We must be careful not to suffer any disadvantages due to non-compliance,” he said.
