KB Insurance Provides Safety Consulting Support to Women-Owned Businesses

KB Insurance announced on the 6th that it will implement the 'Safety Management Consulting Support Project' targeting female representatives running small-scale businesses. Following the expanded application of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act (Serious Accidents Punishment Act) from the 27th of last month, the company plans to support small-scale women-owned businesses in preventing industrial accidents and enhancing their response capabilities.

To minimize confusion among women-owned businesses due to the expanded enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, KB Insurance plans to sign a business agreement with the Korea Women Entrepreneurs Association next month. The company intends to transfer know-how so that female representatives can identify risk factors in industrial sites and prepare response measures.

This project has been conducted as a social contribution activity since the end of 2022, diagnosing risk factors such as work environment, safety devices, and work/management reporting procedures at workplaces with five or more regular employees, and providing customized reports. So far, 21 workplaces have received support.

A KB Insurance official stated, “Interest and necessity for safety management have increased since the expanded enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act,” adding, “We hope this project will help small business owners and SMEs create safer workplaces.”
