[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Doosan Infracore announced on the 20th that it has obtained the 'ISO 45001' certification, an international standard for occupational health and safety management systems.

'ISO 45001' is an international standard related to occupational health and safety management systems established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in March 2018. The main evaluation criteria focus on the efforts of employees to systematically identify and manage organizational safety and health risk factors. Certification is only possible by meeting strict standards such as the adoption of an integrated ISO document system structure and worker participation and consultation on safety and health policies. Doosan Infracore previously held the private institution standard 'OHSAS 18001' certification.

Doosan Infracore explained that to meet the ISO 45001 requirements, it introduced advanced technology to revamp its workplace occupational health and safety system. Based on DSRS (Doosan EHS Rating System), an EHS evaluation tool developed in-house by the Doosan Group, it has continuously maintained a high level of occupational health and safety management aligned with global standards. Additionally, it developed and utilized the EHS IT system 'DooGreen,' which integrates safety and health-related laws and standards, chemical substances, laboratory safety, fire facility management, and employee health checkup history management.

In April, it established and began full operation of an integrated monitoring system using Internet of Things (IoT) technology across all workplaces. IoT-based sensors were attached to pollutant emission facilities and environmental impact facilities within the workplaces to monitor the operation status of safety and environmental facilities in real time across all sites, enabling immediate response in emergencies.

Safety activities, which were previously centered on safety managers, have been significantly transformed into activities involving broad participation from executives, employees, and stakeholders. The occupational health and safety management system was also strengthened by adopting a method that predicts and prevents potential risks that may occur in the workplace in advance.

A Doosan Infracore official stated, “Investment in safety and health is an essential requirement not only for protecting employees but also for the sustainable growth of the company,” adding, “We will conduct comprehensive and scientific preventive activities and take responsible actions to spread a safety culture to partner companies and local communities.”
