Sacheon City Facility Management Corporation Obtains KOSHA-MS Certification for Safety and Health Management System

Active Response to Major Accidents Confirms 'Gongdan Safety Accident ZERO'

Acquisition of Safety and Health Management System Certification

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Gyeongnam Sacheon City Facilities Management Corporation announced on the 5th that it had obtained the 'Occupational Health and Safety Management System (KOSHA-MS)' certification from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency on the 1st.

At a time when serious industrial safety accidents have become a nationwide issue, the corporation has officially been recognized as having no safety problems through inspections and evaluations by a reliable external organization.

'KOSHA-MS' is independently developed by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, reflecting the requirements under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the international standard 'ISO 45001' framework, and recommendations from the International Labour Organization (ILO). It is the latest occupational health and safety management system that combines the advantages of 'KOSHA-18001' and the international standard 'ISO 45001.'

Since September last year, the corporation has undertaken various policy initiatives and organizational reforms to improve its structure, including organizational restructuring and establishing an occupational health and safety management system to obtain the KOSHA-MS certification.

The top executive was appointed as the person responsible for occupational health and safety management, and the organization was restructured by designating supervisors and persons in charge for each team with advice from external professional managers.

Additionally, in accordance with the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, the corporation laid the foundation for establishing a workplace safety culture by fulfilling obligations to ensure safety and health, building an occupational health and safety management system, and enacting related manuals, procedures, and guidelines.

Director Park Tae-jung said, “We have been recognized by an accredited institution for our preventive capabilities against hazards in the Sacheon Sea Cable Car, Bito National Leisure Camping Site, Sacheon City Indoor Swimming Pool, and public sewage treatment facility workplaces,” and added, “We will not be complacent with this result and will strive to focus on safety-centered management so that the corporation prioritizes employee safety.”
