The “Sports Facility Safety Management Certification” is a system in which the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation grants a certificate to establish a safety management system and a standard model for safety management by comprehensively evaluating (18 items across 4 categories) documents and on-site inspections in areas such as “safety management system,” “safety and hygiene facilities and activity levels,” and “safety awareness.”


Okjeong Lake Sports Center was selected as a target for the 4th pilot project of sports facility safety management in July 2022, and after three on-site consulting visits by experts and certification audits, it was finally confirmed as a certification target. Following the award of the “Space Safety Certification” supervised by the Fire Agency and hosted by the Korea Safety Certification Institute in 2023, the center underwent a follow-up audit for the “Sports Facility Safety Management Certification” conducted by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation in September 2024, and received a “compliance” result in December, demonstrating its continued commitment to maintaining its sports facility safety management capabilities.



President Lee Heung-gyu stated, “This certification officially recognizes the positive evaluation of our sports facility safety management capabilities, which prioritize customer safety protection as the top priority. We will expand safety management to other sports facilities operated by the corporation to establish facilities that citizens can use more safely and conveniently.”
