One of the coolest places in midsummer is a department store, but what about inside the food court cooking room? When I was wearing a mask and working in front of a hot fire, there was no steamer, but there was a report that a department store was using a fan and even seized it.

Reporter Lee Seong-hoon covered.

Shinsegae Department Store underground food court.

The employees of our suppliers are busy cooking in front of the fire wearing thick masks.

You have to stand and work all day in a narrow kitchen area of ​​about 3 pyeong and fight the heat.

[Shinsegae Department Store partner employee: This is not standing still, but what are you doing while moving? I think it felt like a sauna.]

I measured the temperature of the kitchen without air conditioning.

38 degrees, 12 degrees higher than the store.

Still, I don't see a common fan.

They even seized portable fans, aka hand fans.

[Shinsegae Department Store partner employee: I used a KC certified electric fan. I thought that I could use it if I had a safety check, and I asked it, but the fan is unconditional.] The

department store said, "We are refraining from using the fan because of the danger of fire due to overheating and dust." Revealed.

What about other department stores?

When I looked around the food courts of two competitive department stores, most of them were using fans.


[A department store employee: I use it with the permission of the department store. I was telling people who came about hygiene that we are cleaning regularly. If not, how do you work because it's hot?] When

I checked with the fire department, there was no provision not to put a fan in the kitchen.

Experts say there is no problem as long as you follow the safety rules.

[Park, Jae - Sung / Soongsil sobangbang studying and teaching: I see it, because it is that it could cause a fire does not adequately be used at all to eat the medicine sick body side effects is similar does not take the medicine -

partner staff look danghalkka disadvantaged The department store confessed that it had not demanded the use of a fan.
