[Photo] Ruling Party Lawmakers Taking Photos at the Moment of Bill Passage

On the afternoon of the 8th, Yoon Young-deok, Seo Dong-yong, and Jung Chun-sook, members of the Democratic Party of Korea, took photos as the Act on Punishment of Serious Accidents (alternative bill) was passed at the 2nd plenary session of the 383rd National Assembly (extraordinary session) held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul.

Starting next year, if a serious industrial accident resulting in a worker's death occurs, executives who fail to properly fulfill safety obligations will face imprisonment for more than one year.

Workplaces with fewer than five employees are excluded from the scope of punishment for serious industrial accidents occurring at industrial sites. However, if a serious accident occurs at a subcontracted workplace with fewer than five employees, and the original contractor is subject to the law, the management officials of the original contractor will be held accountable./Reporter Kang Jin-hyung aymsdream@
