Both organizations decided to address the service industry’s feedback that the risk assessment system is difficult and complex to implement. They developed and presented CFRA (Case-Focused Risk Assessment), a risk assessment method centered on accident cases that anyone can perform anytime without requiring expertise.


Additionally, the developed method will be disseminated to workplaces through private organizations, and customized services will be provided to prevent fatal accidents in the service industry by identifying improvements and reflecting voices from the field.



Chairman Ahn Jong-ju stated, “We will provide support tailored to the field’s perspective to prevent fatal accidents in service industry workplaces,” adding, “We will focus on preventing fatal accidents in service industry workplaces by spreading a risk assessment method that anyone can use without expertise through private organizations.”
