[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Boryung Pharmaceutical announced on the 4th that its Central Research Institute has received the ‘Excellent Safety Management Laboratory’ certification, overseen by the Ministry of Science and ICT.

The Excellent Safety Management Laboratory certification system is designed to strengthen the safety management capabilities of science and technology laboratories established in universities and research institutions, and to discover and disseminate standard models for safety management. It is designated through expert certification reviews and certification deliberations composed of industry, academia, and research experts.

To obtain certification, no accidents must have occurred within the past two years. Additionally, a score of 80 or higher must be achieved in each category: laboratory safety environment system (30 points), laboratory safety environment activity level (50 points), and safety awareness of laboratory safety management personnel (20 points).

The Instrumental Analysis Laboratory within Boryung Pharmaceutical’s Central Research Institute, which received certification this time, is a space where various instruments are used to analyze the content and flexible substances of raw materials and finished pharmaceuticals. Boryung Pharmaceutical has continuously carried out systematic safety management activities, including establishing a safety management policy and building a safety management system to strengthen laboratory safety.

In particular, it is expanding investment in safety awareness by improving results from proactive precision safety inspections and strengthening safety education and training. It is known that these aspects received high evaluations during the certification process.

Kim Bong-seok, head of Boryung Pharmaceutical’s Research and Development (R&D) Center, said, “Voluntary safety awareness and laboratory operations based on a clear system have led to this achievement,” adding, “With the belief that ‘safety is always a work in progress and never complete,’ we will further strengthen the safety management system and continuously improve the laboratory safety environment.”
