Simmons Bed Obtains ISO 45001 Certification for International Standard Safety and Health Management System

On the 24th, Simmons announced that it has obtained the Safety and Health Management System (hereinafter ISO 45001) certification for the entire company, including production factories and sales offices, becoming the first in the domestic bed industry to receive this certification from the Korea Standards Association.

ISO 45001 is an international standard for safety and health management systems established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), awarded to companies that have systems or policies in place to strengthen internal safety and health.

Simmons Bed acquired the ISO 45001 certification in recognition of activities such as ▲setting safety and health policies and goals in accordance with the Serious Accident Punishment Act ▲risk assessment and regulatory management based on the Industrial Safety and Health Act ▲continuous operation of safety and health budgets and training ▲establishment of legally required regulations and standard documents, and emergency response procedures under the Serious Accident Punishment Act.

Simmons explained that through this certification, it has demonstrated an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) approach that takes responsibility for a safe working environment throughout the entire company, including the Simmons Factorium production factory located in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, where the headquarters is situated, as well as the Seoul office.

Following the acquisition of the existing Quality Management System (ISO 9001) and Environmental Management System (ISO 14001), Simmons now meets international standards across overall management, extending beyond quality and environment to the safety and health sector with the ISO 45001 certification. Simmons is the only company in the bed industry to have received ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 (for the entire company) certifications from the Korea Standards Association.

Lee Jong-sung, Vice President of Simmons, said, “We are proud that the efforts made in various areas to ensure that all employees can work safely have resulted in obtaining the Safety and Health Management System certification. Going forward, we will continue to lead as an ESG brand in the industry by not only caring for consumers’ health and safety but also taking the lead in creating the optimal working environment for our employees.”
