The Excellent Facility in Risk Assessment Recognition System is a program where workplaces conduct their own risk assessments, and the submitted materials are reviewed. Based on the risk assessment standards and recognition procedures, inspectors from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency conduct on-site inspections and objectively evaluate the submitted materials before issuing a certificate. The validity period of this certification is three years, from December 12, 2024, to December 11, 2027.

The Yangju National Sports Center was recognized as an excellent facility in risk assessment after a detailed evaluation of 13 items across four areas, including the employer’s level of interest and the execution level of risk assessment, following the identification of facility risk factors through its own risk assessment, submission of countermeasure plans, and progress on major accident prevention activities.

In particular, the roles of the risk assessment team organization and budget allocation, measures and improvements regarding hazardous risk factors, and the responsibilities and roles of safety and health officers received high evaluations, recognizing the center’s excellent safety management system and execution capability.

President Lee Heung-gyu stated, “We will do our best to strengthen safety through continuous risk assessment activities at the corporation’s workplaces and to spread a culture of safety within the region to protect the safety of citizens by obtaining the Excellent Facility in Risk Assessment certification.”
