On the 30th of last month, BKR held the ‘BKR, Burger King Korea ISO 45001 Certificate Award Ceremony’ at its office located in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

ISO 45001 is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that evaluates occupational health and safety management systems. It is awarded to companies that have systems in place to predict and prevent various risks that may occur in the workplace and create a safe working environment.

BKR and Burger King Korea formed a dedicated occupational health and safety organization and were recognized for their efforts in safety management, including conducting regular risk assessments to prevent accidents caused by potential hazards, and received ISO 45001 certification from the global certification body DNV.

Prioritizing the safety of employees in the work environment, BKR and Burger King Korea strengthened their occupational health and safety management system in accordance with international standards by conducting safety and health TFTs through cooperation among related departments such as operation support, construction equipment, and the occupational health and safety team, led monthly by the CSO. They also focus on fostering an organizational culture for a safe work environment by providing regular employee training, including periodic occupational health and safety education and emergency preparedness training for all workers at every workplace each month.

Lee Dong-hyung, CEO of BKR, said, “It is even more meaningful that Burger King Korea has become the first domestic QSR brand to obtain ISO 45001 certification,” adding, “We are expanding proactive occupational health and safety management activities so that all Burger King employees can work in a safe environment, and we will continue to strictly comply with occupational health and safety-related laws and regulations while continuously strengthening related processes.”
