Sahakyeongeum Obtains 'KOSHA-MS' Certification for Occupational Health and Safety Management System

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] The Private School Teachers' Pension Service announced on the 6th 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 safety and health management certification system independently developed by reflecting the requirements of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, the international standard (ISO45001) framework, and the advantages of the existing safety and health management system KOSHA18001. It comprehensively reviews and evaluates various areas such as the safety and health management system, safety and health activities, interviews with safety and health management personnel, manuals, procedures, and guidelines to determine certification eligibility.

Since his inauguration in April last year, Director Ju Myung-hyun of the Private School Teachers' Pension Service has reorganized the organization by establishing a Safety and Environment Team within the Management Headquarters and revised management policies across industrial safety, facility safety, and disaster safety fields according to the basic safety plan. The organization has been continuously striving to prevent industrial accidents and promote safety management, conducting training not only for executives and employees but also for subsidiary staff to prevent safety accidents and improve health.

The Private School Teachers' Pension Service is not a mandatory public institution for certification (a safety management-focused institution). Nevertheless, the company explained that obtaining the certification expresses its commitment to safety-first management.

Director Ju Myung-hyun stated, “By establishing a systematic safety and health management system and radically shifting the management paradigm centered on safety, we have gained external trust in our safety management system. With this certification, the safety and health level of the Private School Teachers' Pension Service will be upgraded, and we will do our best to protect the safety of executives, employees, and the public by continuously developing the safety management culture and safety and health management system.”

Previously, the Private School Teachers' Pension Service was selected as the best institution in the 2019 Disaster Response Safety Korea Training hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and received a ministerial award.
