``Improvements should be made to resolve the overloading problem and ensure safe delivery,'' he said. The operating company must prepare guidelines regarding overloading and take responsibility for safe operation.
The idea is that it must be done. Bmart is a service operated by the food delivery app ``Delivery Tribe'' and has approximately 70 locations across South Korea. The customer specified B Mart
When you purchase an item, a rider who undertakes the delivery will deliver it to your home. Bmart sells a variety of daily necessities such as mineral water, instant rice, ramen, and tissues.
Even if a customer orders many items at once, all items must be loaded onto one bike. In this way, all the burden associated with impossible deliveries is transferred to the riders.
It will be done. Koo Gyo-hyun, branch manager of the Rider Union, said, ``[Delivery tribes] ranked first in the company with the most labor accidents in 2022, and as of August this year, it is also in first place.''
``In such a dangerous environment, rider safety is at risk if standards regarding load weight are not properly observed.''
They also claim that overweight luggage threatens the health of riders. La
Kim Sang-joon, a member of the Yida Union, said, ``The elderly and female delivery workers had to be treated at the hospital for several days because they had to carry heavy packages up the stairs in a building without an elevator.
``We need to stop transporting unreasonable loads and proactively use multiple motorcycles to make deliveries, which is called ``separate vehicle allocation''.''
In fact, Rider Union collaborated with the Korea Industrial Health and Welfare Research Institute to investigate the actual state of musculoskeletal diseases among 365 delivery workers from April to June.
As a result of the survey, more than 70% of workers said they felt pain in their necks and shoulders, and more than 60% said they had pain in their arms, hands, and lower back. Jeon Sung-bae, Seoul branch chairman of the Riders Union, said, ``I don't want to carry heavy luggage.''
"The steering wheel shakes when I'm driving," he said, adding, "You have to use your whole body to maintain your center of gravity, but when it rains or snows, the strain becomes even greater, and this kind of strain can directly lead to an accident."
It pointed out. Another problem is that due to such "overloading," the lid of the delivery case often does not close, which can impede safe driving. According to the company's regulations, more than 10km
It is necessary to avoid loading the above items onto one bike, but it is difficult to check this every time on site. For this reason, riding with the lid of the delivery case attached to the motorcycle open
He emphasized that if the luggage were to fall, it could cause an accident for vehicles following. On this day, the Riders Union held a meeting to correct this kind of "overloaded operation".
They requested that the company introduce an automatic vehicle separation and dispatch system, disclose volume and safety standards, and consider restricting the sale of items that lead to overloading. In line with this, overloading is carried out through riders on site.
The plan is to take measures such as receiving information from the affected areas.
