As global temperatures rise, South Korea\u2019s outdoor workers face increasing health risks due to inadequate protection from the intensifying summer heat. Seoul has recorded 26 consecutive <\/span>tropical nights<\/span><\/a> \u2014 nights when temperatures do not fall below 77\u00b0F (25\u00b0C) \u2014 since July 21, the <\/span>longest<\/span><\/a> streak in the city\u2019s history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With forecasts predicting more scorching weather ahead, experts emphasize the urgent need for the government and legislature to implement proactive measures to safeguard workers. They stress the necessity for stronger regulations, evidence-based recommendations and a cultural shift toward prioritizing workplace safety as climate change intensifies.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTENSIFYING HEAT WAVES<\/b><\/p>\n

South Korea’s labor ministry issued new measures to address the rising number of heat-related workplace accidents amid the severe heatwave. The government recommended halting outdoor labor when the heat index exceeds 31\u00b0C between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., these <\/span>guidelines<\/span><\/a> remain voluntary.<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent <\/span>survey<\/span><\/a> by the National Construction Workers\u2019 Union revealed that 80% of construction workers continue to work during peak heat hours. Only 18.5% of these workers take regular breaks despite heat alerts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cConstruction workers, who are most likely to be directly exposed to extreme heat during outdoor work, face the risk of death,\u201d Kim Sung-hee, an adjunct professor at Korea University\u2019s Graduate School of Labor Studies told <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, a 31-year-old worker died of heatstroke <\/span>last summer<\/span><\/a> while organizing shopping carts in a supermarket\u2019s basement parking lot. He reportedly worked 10-hour shifts with a 15-minute break every three hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Aug. 7, the South Korean labor ministry <\/span>stated<\/span><\/a> it would enforce existing safety guidelines, including mandatory breaks and work stoppages during extreme heat. The ministry also began distributing cooling supplies and holding employers accountable for severe heat-related incidents.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, critics argue that these measures fall short and lack new initiatives, especially given the intensity of the current heat wave. They call for more proactive and stringent legislation to better protect workers from escalating heat risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

LABOR UNIONS DEMAND ACTION<\/b><\/p>\n

Choi Myung-sun, director of Occupational Safety and Health at the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), expressed frustration to <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i> over the government\u2019s decade-long refusal to codify work stoppages during extreme climates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been 14 or 15 years now, but the government still won\u2019t make it official. The 22nd National Assembly has just begun, and bills related to work stoppages have been introduced, but it is still difficult to predict whether the National Assembly will pass it or not,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choi criticized the labor ministry\u2019s recommendation for work stoppages during peak heat as insufficient, noting that they are merely guidelines and that there are no clear legal consequences if employers ignore them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under current laws, employers may only be held accountable after an accident occurs, nullifying the guidelines\u2019 preventative aims, she told <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, the <\/span>Occupational Safety and Health Act<\/span><\/a> stipulates that \u201ca business owner shall take measures necessary\u201d to prevent health problems arising from high and low temperatures, but Park Se-joong, the director of Occupational Safety and Health at the National Construction Workers\u2019 Union, noted that employers don\u2019t always follow the law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOver 10% of workers don\u2019t even receive water on-site, despite it being one of the labor ministry\u2019s key recommendations,\u201d Park told <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A STEP FURTHER<\/b><\/p>\n

Experts agree that current guidelines and recommendations are not enough to protect workers from the escalating dangers of the extreme heat. They emphasize the need for more research, stronger regulations and cultural changes in workplace safety practices to prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths as the climate crisis worsens<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryu Hyun-chul, a specialist in occupational and environmental medicine and director of the Workplace Environment and Health Center, underscored the risks faced by construction workers, citing <\/span>data<\/span><\/a> showing that 68% of heat-related deaths in the past six years occurred in the construction industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He emphasized the need for more robust enforcement of safety measures, including mandatory work stoppages based on real-time heat conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, Kim Sung-hee of Korea University\u2019s Graduate School of Labor Studies pointed out that the government\u2019s non-binding recommendations have limited impacts, particularly in the absence of strong labor unions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWithout collective bargaining power, workers are often unable to exercise their right to stop working when temperatures get too high,\u201d Kim said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim advocated for more enforceable government measures, including specific regulations for work stoppages during heatwaves and increased penalties for non-compliance, noting that the construction industry requires special attention due to the high risk of heat-related fatalities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim highlighted the U.S. Biden administration\u2019s comprehensive heat wave <\/span>protections<\/span><\/a>, which apply strict standards for both indoor and outdoor workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite recent legislation in South Korea aiming to codify work stoppages, its enforceability is limited compared to the U.S.\u2019 Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, which can shut down operations for violations,\u201d Kim told <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Soon-dol Chung, a professor of social work practice at Ewha Women\u2019s University, cautioned against relying solely on legal mandates to ensure the right to stop work during heat waves. She argued that while workers\u2019 rights are crucial, regulating everything by law could lead to \u201cunintended consequences.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chung suggested a government-level task force to research and gather scientific evidence on how climate change will impact working conditions and the development of safety measures tailored to different environments. She emphasized the importance of addressing these issues through cultural changes and evidence-based approaches before implementing legal measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

As South Korea’s outdoor workers endure the brunt of the severe heat wave, the focus is on how the country\u2019s legislature and administration will enhance protections for its labor force in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n
