[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] Korea Water Resources Corporation held a 'Safety and Health Management Charter Proclamation Ceremony' to protect the safety and health of the general public and workers in accordance with the enforcement of the Serious Accident Punishment Act.

At the proclamation ceremony held on the 27th at the Daejeon headquarters, Park Jaehyun, President of the Water Resources Corporation, and Noh Cheolmin, Chairman of the Labor Union, along with key department heads attended, and the event was shared with all employees through a live broadcast. The corporation’s executives and employees pledged to prioritize safety and health in all tasks with the goal of 'zero serious accidents' and to reliably supply clean and safe water as a healthy water circulation service partner.

So far, the Water Resources Corporation has actively responded to the government’s policy to strengthen safety management and has strived to fulfill ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) responsibilities and enhance safety management throughout its operations to protect the lives of citizens and workers from disasters. In February last year, it was recognized for its efforts to establish and operate a systematic safety and health system by acquiring ISO 45001 certification, an international standard accredited by safety and health organizations. In November of the same year, it achieved an A grade in the national core infrastructure disaster management evaluation hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and was selected as an excellent institution.

Park Jaehyun, President of the Water Resources Corporation, stated, "We will devote all our capabilities to creating a safe workplace without accidents by prioritizing safety as the highest value," and added, "We will do our best to prevent accidents together with all executives and employees to accomplish the 2022 safety and health management goals and to leap forward as a leading safety institution."
