Chosun Ilbo reported Lotte, as part of its heat response, provided cooling vests and other heat-illness-prevention items to workers at the ballpark, aiming to look after both safety and working conditions.

Workers laboring long hours outdoors are vulnerable to heat illness; cooling vests, shade and rest space, and ample hydration are the basics of prevention.

As heat waves become routine, workplace heat-illness prevention is becoming a necessity, not an option, requiring both standards and on-site practice.

Worker health ties directly to productivity, and prevention costs less than after-the-fact response.

Sinophone Bridge Times views a company's safety measures through responsibility, not publicity; protecting workers in the heat is everyone's task.
