[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Small and Medium Business Corporation (Chairman Kim Hak-do, hereinafter referred to as SBC) announced on the 6th that it received the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award in the field of safety industry promotion merit.

The Safety Industry Development Merit Award is given by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety since 2015 to individuals and organizations who have contributed to revitalizing the disaster safety industry and raising social awareness and morale related to the safety industry. This year, the contest was held in two categories: ▲Korea Safety Technology Grand Prize ▲Safety Industry Promotion Merit.

SBC received the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award in the field of safety industry promotion merit. It was recognized for its contribution to reducing industrial accidents by expanding the scope of safety management to small and medium ventures.

In 2019, SBC signed an agreement with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, a specialized safety and health institution, and developed a safety self-diagnosis checklist and workplace safety diagnosis module to induce voluntary safety activities in small and medium ventures. It has also actively contributed to spreading a safety management culture among small and medium ventures by, for example, preferentially increasing the policy fund limits for companies excelling in safety management.

Chairman Kim Hak-do said, "SBC has declared a safety and health management policy to prevent safety accidents throughout management activities and is conducting various activities such as strengthening safety inspections and operating programs to spread safety culture," adding, "Taking this award for safety industry development merit as an opportunity, we will further strengthen safety-centered management and take the lead in creating safe small and medium ventures and a safe Republic of Korea."
