Korea Industrial Complex Corporation is identifying and improving risk factors for serious industrial accidents in advance through special inspections of owned facilities and construction sites to ensure that safety and health management policies are established on-site. It explained that it is making various systematic safety management efforts, such as separately budgeting for serious accident prevention and activating communication and suggestion systems for workers.

In addition, it is fully committed to promoting and supporting tenant companies in industrial complexes under its jurisdiction through ▲distribution of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act commentary ▲distribution of workplace guidebooks such as industry-specific self-checklists ▲group education on the Serious Accidents Punishment Act for employers and workers ▲promotion of the Act’s enforcement using various media such as official documents, electronic billboards, and SNS ▲safety inspections of vulnerable areas in industrial complexes and tenant companies ▲safety inspections and education at construction sites.

So far, Korea Industrial Complex Corporation has supported tenant companies in industrial complexes to establish their own safety and health management systems regarding serious industrial accidents. It is also jointly supporting safety consulting with IBK Industrial Bank, where experts diagnose and improve risk factors such as work safety and hazardous materials management for small and medium-sized enterprises, and last year developed a safety design self-diagnosis tool with the Korea Institute of Design Promotion, which was pilot-applied in industrial sites.

Furthermore, it plans to innovate the safety system at industrial sites by expanding the establishment of integrated control centers using digital technology, building digital safety networks in industrial complexes, and promoting new safety management businesses such as smart manufacturing safety technology development. Kim Jeong-hwan, Chairman of Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, said, "As social demands for safety are increasing, as a public institution, we will do our best to establish safety and health management for serious accident prevention and build safety networks in industrial complexes to create workplaces where the public, employees, and business workers can all live with peace of mind."
