In-depth Diagnosis of Safety Management Systems at Domestic and International Business Sites

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Motor Company is collaborating with the Korea Employers Federation (KEF) to create a safe working environment.

On the 1st, Hyundai Motor announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Korea Employers Federation for a comprehensive in-depth diagnosis of the safety management system. The signing ceremony, held at the Korea Employers Federation building in Mapo-gu, Seoul, was attended by Hyundai Motor CEO (CSO) Dongseok Lee, KEF Executive Vice President Donggeun Lee, and Professor Byungho Ham of Korea National University of Transportation, who is the overall project manager (PM) for the comprehensive in-depth diagnosis, among other officials.

This MOU aims to assemble top experts from KEF in five areas?organization and personnel, budget, education, labor-management relations, and safety culture?to form an advisory group that will study overseas best practices and trends in each field of safety management systems. By comparing these with Hyundai’s current status, the goal is to develop comprehensive safety management measures that can dramatically improve workplace safety levels.

Specifically, Hyundai will analyze the safety culture levels of countries including the U.S. and Germany, as well as accident rates in advanced countries, by consulting leading experts from domestic and international academia and specialized institutions in each field.

Additionally, based on field surveys conducted at domestic and overseas workplaces, Hyundai plans to further develop a safety-centered management system so that safety becomes ingrained in all areas of work.

Notably, this is the first case in Korea where a private company has signed an MOU with an economic organization to conduct an in-depth diagnosis of workplace safety management levels. Hyundai intends to actively strive to establish a world-class safety management system through this agreement.

A Hyundai Motor official stated, “This comprehensive in-depth diagnosis project reflects Hyundai’s strong commitment to making safety the top priority in management activities. Through this project, we will take the lead in creating a workplace environment where employees can work with peace of mind.”
