Gu In-mo, Mayor of Geochang County.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang County, became the first local government head in the Gyeongnam region to complete the Safety and Health Management Officer training for the prevention of serious accidents.

Mayor Gu acted swiftly as the Serious Accident Punishment Act came into effect on January 27, requiring active attention and caution from businesses and local governments.

This training primarily focuses on understanding the duties and roles of managers by analyzing frequently occurring accident cases at workplaces, based on basic theories such as the Industrial Safety and Health Act and an overview of the Serious Accident Punishment Act.

Mayor Gu In-mo stated, “According to Heinrich's Law, major accidents are always preceded by similar minor accidents and warning signs, so thorough prevention can avert great disasters,” adding, “We will not neglect even minor accidents and will do our best to protect the lives and property of our residents.”

Safety and health job training must be completed within three months of appointment as a safety and health management officer according to Article 32 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act and Article 29 of its Enforcement Rules. Failure to complete the training results in a fine of up to 5 million KRW.
