Korea Securities Depository Obtains ISO 45001 Certification

The Korea Securities Depository (KSD) announced on the 10th that it has obtained ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) certification in recognition of its autonomous efforts to prevent safety accidents for its employees and related workers.

ISO 45001 is a leading international standard and certification system awarded to companies that have established occupational health and safety management systems necessary to improve factors threatening workers' safety and to create a safe working environment.

In particular, KSD has independently operated occupational health and safety management manuals tailored to the job content and working environment of each institution since April 2023, together with its subsidiary KS Dream, which shares the workplace, and the KSD Nanum Foundation, a contributing foundation. It also audits and verifies compliance with safety and health regulations, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act, based on these manuals.

Additionally, KSD conducts joint risk assessments annually to reduce the risk of industrial accidents, and operates an occupational health and safety management system that fosters coexistence and cooperation with subcontractors and outsourced companies through quarterly joint safety inspections and monthly occupational health and safety councils that collect workers' opinions from each institution to prevent safety accidents.

KSD stated, "Ensuring the safety of all employees and related workers, who will share the achievements of the past 50 years and the leap forward for the next 100 years, is our top management goal. We will continue to practice occupational health and safety management based on autonomy."
