FSS "Death of Service Company Worker, Fully Cooperating at Bereaved Family's Request"

The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced on the 4th that it has been maintaining continuous contact with the bereaved families since the time the accident involving a service company worker who died in the building was recognized, and is doing its utmost to cooperate with the families' requests.

According to the FSS, the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service is currently investigating whether the deceased's case qualifies as an industrial accident at the request of the bereaved families. The FSS is sincerely and actively cooperating with the investigation, including workplace visits by the Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service. At the request of the families, all CCTV footage related to the deceased's whereabouts before and after the accident has been preserved. Furthermore, under the premise of personal information protection, the footage will be made available for viewing by the families whenever they wish.

The FSS stated, "We once again extend our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and will do our best to cooperate with any requests they make. The FSS is conducting a thorough inspection of the working environment for service workers and plans to actively improve any deficiencies found."

Earlier, the Democratic Party of Korea revealed that the fact a service company worker died in the FSS building was disclosed late and demanded an explanation from FSS Governor Lee Bok-hyun. Lee Kyung, the senior deputy spokesperson, issued a statement saying that although the worker who was performing disinfection and quarantine died in the government building, the FSS concealed this fact for over a month. The FSS blamed the service company and has not apologized to the bereaved families, and when the families requested to view the CCTV footage, the FSS only said they would check. The party criticized that the FSS should not shift responsibility solely to the subcontractor.
