During the on-site visit, the Chairman attentively listened to the practical difficulties and challenges of safety management faced by workplaces and discussed measures to enhance safety levels on-site.

Chairman An Jong-ju stated during the on-site inspection, "The Industrial Safety Comprehensive Diagnosis is a great opportunity to improve the safety level of small and medium-sized workplaces. We will listen to the awareness and difficulties of workplaces and make every effort to minimize confusion and side effects caused by the expanded enforcement of the Serious Accident Punishment Act and to ensure that safety and health management systems are established on-site."
