Shin Yong Bo Jeung Gi Geum Obtains Safety and Health Management System Certification

Establishment of Safety and Health Management System and Systematic Safety and Health Activities Implementation

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] On the 24th, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund announced that it has obtained the Safety and Health Management System (KOSHA-MS) certification from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency.

KOSHA-MS is a certification system for safety and health management systems aimed at preventing and managing workplace accidents and industrial disasters. The Ministry of Economy and Finance has actively encouraged certification promotion through comprehensive measures to strengthen safety in public institutions announced in 2019.

Since November 2019, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund established a "Safety and Health Management Policy" and created a dedicated safety management organization to implement it. They reviewed safety and health-related laws and regulations, enacted safety and health regulations, and applied them at workplaces, actively promoting the establishment of a safety and health management system. As a result of these efforts, after about six months of document preparation and on-site readiness, and two rounds of on-site inspections, the certification was obtained.

Additionally, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund stated that it is conducting various safety management activities to protect the lives of the public and ensure safety. Risk assessments are conducted for all contracted construction works, and a safety work permit system has been introduced for high-risk tasks such as high-altitude work, power outage work, and confined space work where fatal accidents are more likely. In particular, to prevent accidents among subcontractor workers vulnerable to industrial disasters, safety activities such as providing personal protective equipment, attaching warning signs, and joint labor-management safety inspections have been promoted.

A representative of the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund said, "We were able to obtain the safety certification thanks to the active participation and interest of our employees in safety and health," and added, "We will take the lead in becoming a public institution that pioneers a safety culture through this safety certification acquisition."
