[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] SK Hynix announced on the 28th that it has opened the 'Work Environment Health Center' Icheon Office. This is an expansion to the Seoul metropolitan area three years after establishing the center in Cheongju in 2019 as a private public interest industrial health center.

The center is an affiliated organization through which SK Hynix operates an industrial health model for partner companies and fulfills its corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Over the past two years, the center has been working on workplace doctor services, safety and health support for vulnerable workers, and strengthening occupational health capabilities, contributing to health management and occupational disease prevention in local communities and partner companies.

SK Hynix explained that it opened the Icheon Office to expand the achievements of the Cheongju center to the Seoul metropolitan area.

The Icheon Office operates programs such as practical training for health managers, external partner company SHE (Safety, Health, Environment) consulting support, and health promotion support for partner companies vulnerable in health management.

The company plans to fulfill its social responsibility regarding semiconductor occupational diseases and contribute to creating a healthy local community workplace by enhancing the health management competitiveness of partner companies.

Kim Youngsik, Vice President and Chief Safety Officer (CSO) of SK Hynix, said, "With the opening of the Icheon Office, small and medium-sized enterprises and partner companies in the Seoul metropolitan area and Icheon can now receive high-quality industrial safety and health services from the center. We hope that many partner companies and small local businesses will have the opportunity to grow together with SK Hynix."
