The discussion forum on improving the Serious Accidents Punishment Act was held on the 11th at the Korea Employers Federation in Mapo-gu, Seoul. There was a call to prioritize supplementary legislation to minimize the side effects following the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act.

Lee Dong-geun, Vice Chairman of the Korea Employers Federation, stated, "To minimize the side effects caused by the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, supplementary legislation must be prioritized above all else," adding, "The draft enforcement decree proposed by the government is largely vague and comprehensive, which is increasing confusion on the ground. Therefore, it needs to be prepared reasonably and specifically, considering the purpose of the law and the status of management responsibility."

The Serious Accidents Punishment Act, which will take effect from January 27 next year, criminally punishes business owners, management officials, and corporations if accidents or other serious injuries occur in industrial workplaces.
