As you heard, Kim Yong Kyun hadn't changed much since he passed away. It also means that there are still many people who have to spend each day in dangerous workplaces.

Reporter Choi Jae-young went to the scene and this time listened to their voices.

<Reporter>

I am going to a power plant where Kim Yong-kyun was in an accident. It's been a year since the accident and let's see how much safer the site is.

This is a video taken by plant workers. Rainwater builds up on the conveyor belt carrying limestone, stepping onto the belt and running out of water.

[Choi Kyu-Chul / Taean Thermal Power Plant Worker: If you couldn't communicate with the control room, .] When the conveyor belt is clogged, you can get into the back of the machine and do dangerous work.

[Choi Kyu-cheol / Taean Thermal Power Plant Worker: You can lose your center and fall into the machinery.]

All of them pointed out that the Special Investigation Committee is dangerous after Kim Yong-gyun accident, so they are working alone.

[Choi Kyu-cheol / Taean Thermal Power Plant Worker: (1 year has passed and how many people are operating in 1 pair?)

The Special Investigation Committee recommended that a large number of people be hired to work in pairs, but only about a quarter were actually employed.

[Song Yeon-su / Hwadong Thermal Power Plant Workers: Except for the coal handling process)

In some places, workers work in pairs in pairs.

[Choi Kyu-cheol / Taean Thermal Power Plant Worker: Let's check which colleague is in the state (rest state) and let's go together.

The five power generation companies said they will hire more people next year, but I wonder how much less work is done.

[Chang Chang-gyun / Head of Power Plant Operation Division, KWP: (What is the level of service recommendations?) I understand that the service result is about 65% of the recommendations of the committee.]

[Chang Sang-oh / Shin, Young-Hong Shin, CEO: The door was closed while I was working alone. Then a person can fall like this.]

Elevator workplaces are required to work in pairs starting next year, but some workers are still working alone.

[In fact, this is often the case (working alone) due to a large amount of work (with a subcontractor from a large company) at a low cost.]

Labor scene remains unchanged even after Kim Yong Kyun's death.

There was a system far behind.

[Kim Jong-Jin / Deputy Director, Korea Labor and Social Research Institute: There are no two people or two in the Industrial Safety and Health Act. It is our reality that the two-person work was just a slogan and slogan.]

In commemoration of Kim Yong-kyun's 1st cycle, a memorial event is held at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. Choi Jae-young, the reporter who just passed the report, is now at Gwanghwamun Square.

Reporter Choi Jae-young, you're late, but many people are joining us today (10th)

<Reporter>

Yes, there are over 50 hours of memorial events.

Right behind this event, there is a memorial incense booth by Mr. Kim Yong-kyun, and you can see the citizens traveling to and from the site.

Citizens said our society has not solved the task left by Mr. Kim Yong-kyun.

Our reality is that the number of workers who die at work is more than twice that of neighboring Japan.

It was a constant demand from attendees that the measures to ensure minimum safety should be introduced at an early stage.
