[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baedal Minjok, has been selected as the first certified company under the 'Small Parcel Delivery Agency Certification System.'

The Small Parcel Certification System was introduced last year under the 'Living Logistics Service Industry Development Act' to enhance delivery workers' safety and consumer convenience. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) designated certified companies for the first time this year. MOLIT selected excellent companies among delivery agency and quick service providers after a review process that included delivery worker safety training, insurance policies, preparation of standard contracts, and service stability.

Woowa Brothers received high evaluations for their efforts to protect and ensure the safety of delivery workers through insurance policies and the establishment of delivery safety education infrastructure.

The representative insurance policies include mandatory paid transportation insurance and the introduction of hourly insurance. Woowa Brothers made paid transportation insurance mandatory so that delivery workers can perform deliveries in a safe environment prepared for any accidents. The hourly insurance calculates premiums based on the hours worked by delivery workers, significantly reducing their burden. Additionally, they have expanded insurance products tailored to various transportation means such as motorcycles, bicycles, electric kickboards, and four-wheel vehicles.

Furthermore, they established the motorcycle safety education facility 'Baemin Delivery Service Training Center' to build safety education infrastructure. To enable delivery workers in provincial areas to receive professional training, they are expanding cooperation with related organizations such as local police agencies and the Road Traffic Authority. The Baemin Training Center is expected to graduate about 6,000 trainees annually.

With this certification, Woowa Brothers is expected to provide a safe and sustainable delivery environment for delivery workers active on the Baemin Connect application. MOLIT plans to support certified companies in various ways, including the establishment of a Small Parcel Delivery Agency Mutual Aid Association.

Kim Byung-woo, CEO of Woowa Brothers, said, "We feel a sense of responsibility for being selected as the first certified company under MOLIT's Small Parcel Certification System," adding, "As an industry-leading company, we will do our best to establish a safe delivery culture."
