A casebook providing practical assistance to workplaces, local governments, and public institutions regarding the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act has been published.
The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) announced on the 4th that it has created and released a casebook based on its self-operated 'Occupational Safety and Health Management System.'
This casebook, reflecting the agency's occupational safety and health management certification system, was produced with approximately 370 pages. It consists of an Occupational Safety and Health Management Manual, Occupational Safety and Health Management Procedures, and Occupational Safety and Health Management Guidelines.
Through this casebook, workplaces and others are expected to receive practical assistance in establishing and implementing occupational safety and health management systems.
Specifically, the Occupational Safety and Health Management Manual is composed of 10 chapters, the Procedures include 15 processes, and the Guidelines contain 20 directives.
For example, the 'Execution' section of the Occupational Safety and Health Management Manual presents general matters such as the responsibilities and authority of safety managers, while the Procedures include operational plans and management processes according to responsibilities and authority. Additionally, the Guidelines specify detailed tasks such as general work safety instructions and instructions for requesting work stoppage in hazardous situations.
The casebook can be downloaded by searching for 'Occupational Safety and Health Management System' in the Data Room - Integrated Data Room on the initial page of the KOSHA website.
