Applicants can apply by referring to the websites of the Rural Development Administration and the nine provincial agricultural technology institutes.
The eligibility criteria include: ▲ at least two years of practical experience in safety and health management under the Industrial Safety and Health Act ▲ at least one year of practical experience as a supervisor under the Industrial Safety and Health Act ▲ those recognized as having experience and capability in agricultural operation safety management ▲ holders of safety and health-related qualifications such as an agricultural operation safety and health technician. At least one of these conditions must be met.
The number of selected candidates is 88, and they can choose one location among 44 cities and counties nationwide.
Kim Kyung-ran, Team Leader of the Farmer Safety Team at the Rural Development Administration, said, "An Agricultural Operation Safety Manager is not just a safety advisor but a practical companion role that protects the safety of farmers." "We will strengthen on-site safety management centered around the Agricultural Operation Safety Manager to prevent agricultural operation accidents and disasters," she said.
