[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Hyundai Mobis is embarking on the establishment of a mid- to long-term safety management system to strengthen the safety management framework and capabilities across all its business sites to a global standard.

On the 12th, Hyundai Mobis announced that it held a "Safety Level Enhancement Project Launch Ceremony" at its headquarters in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul, aimed at improving safety capabilities company-wide. This initiative is part of the "Safety First Management" emphasized by President Jo Seong-hwan in his inauguration message earlier this year.

First, starting this month, Hyundai Mobis will conduct a safety level diagnosis using methodologies from global certification bodies. The global safety certification system used in this evaluation, ISRS (International Safety Rating System), assigns ratings to an organization’s safety management level through a detailed assessment of 137 items across 15 areas, including safety leadership, hazard assessment, risk management, and emergency response planning.

Hyundai Mobis plans to identify risk factors and vulnerabilities through various methods such as surveys, on-site evaluations, and interviews, and fundamentally improve them. In particular, within this year, the company will develop its own evaluation techniques tailored to the characteristics of each business site to establish a sustainable safety management system.

Through this, Hyundai Mobis aims to build a safety system reaching ISRS Level 6, the global standard for the automotive industry, by 2025, and plans to progressively raise its target level to secure world-class safety management capabilities. ISRS Level 6 indicates that a company’s dedicated safety organization possesses professional management capabilities and conducts systematic management activities such as proactive monitoring, risk factor management, post-incident measures, and recurrence prevention training.

To achieve this, Hyundai Mobis will increase investment in dedicated safety personnel and organizations and clearly present safety management goals to its employees. It will systematically manage safety levels not only at domestic sites but also at overseas subsidiaries, while simultaneously supporting safety activities of its partners.
