BPA has set the 2024 safety management goal as ‘Zero worker fatalities’ and plans to implement 12 detailed tasks across four areas: workplaces, construction sites, facilities, and others.

In particular, the safety budget has been increased by approximately 700 million KRW from this year to 42.2 billion KRW to expand safety support projects for partner companies. BPA will also strengthen its safety and health management by promoting safety activities aligned with the government’s roadmap for reducing major accidents.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, stated, “In 2023, we were able to achieve zero worker fatalities through systematic safety activities. In 2024, we will continue to prioritize safety and health as the top management value and strive to create a safe BPA and a safe Busan Port.”

In 2023, BPA implemented three major strategies: ▲ promoting safety activities through internalization of the safety and health management system ▲ safety management in collaboration with workers ▲ strengthening on-site operability through a safety-first system, achieving a 100% safety and health activity implementation rate and zero worker fatalities.
