"To Enhance Safety Management Levels, HR, Labor, and Education Departments Must Collaborate"

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] The Korea Employers Federation and Hyundai Motor Company held the "Hyundai Motor Safety Management System Comprehensive In-depth Diagnosis Interim Report Meeting" on the 24th. Earlier, in July of this year, they signed a business agreement and started a collaborative project aiming to establish a safety management system between an economic organization and a private company for the first time in Korea.

The research team divided the company's safety management system into five areas: organization and personnel, budget, education, labor-management relations, and safety culture, conducting on-site diagnoses and in-depth interviews. The research team diagnosed that in order for Hyundai Motor to elevate its safety management system to the world's highest level, it must strengthen the roles and functions of the safety organization while establishing a collaborative system with related departments such as human resources, labor, and education. The comprehensive in-depth diagnosis is scheduled to continue until the end of December this year. After additional on-site diagnoses and advisory meetings, the final results will be released. An advisory group of experts from various fields including industrial safety, health, management, and law will participate.

Lee Dong-geun, Vice Chairman of the Korea Employers Federation, said, "We will actively support the strengthening of safety capabilities across the domestic industrial sector." Lee Dong-seok, CEO of Hyundai Motor, stated, "We will more meticulously establish the safety management strategy our company should pursue and strive to settle the highest level of safety management system."
