The Small Enterprise and Market Service announced on the 4th that it had selected the '2025 Regular Risk Assessment Best Practices' on the 3rd.

The risk assessment system is a process in which business owners independently identify hazardous and risky factors in their workplaces, evaluate the level of risk, and implement measures to reduce those risks.

Although the Small Enterprise and Market Service consists entirely of office workers across all workplaces, resulting in a relatively low risk of industrial accidents, the organization noted that this very characteristic could lead to insufficient awareness of hazardous and risky factors. To enhance safety awareness among employees, the agency introduced the 'Risk Assessment Best Practices Awards Program' for the first time this year.

After reviewing outstanding practices among its 24 headquarters departments and 90 regional offices nationwide, the Market Management Support Office at headquarters, as well as the Gangwon Regional Headquarters, Yangsan Center, and Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters among regional organizations, were each selected for their exemplary practices.

The Market Management Support Office was recognized for providing finger protectors and introducing office knives and scissors equipped with safety devices to prevent cuts from sharp office supplies.

The Gangwon Regional Headquarters was commended for distributing heavy items into smaller packages and ensuring thorough use of personal protective equipment to prevent musculoskeletal disorders during the transportation of promotional materials at external events.

The Yangsan Center was highly evaluated for identifying 26 hazardous and risky factors, establishing improvement measures, providing training on customer service guidelines under the direction of the center director, and preventing the concentration of complaints on specific staff members.

The Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters was selected for installing emergency bells and conducting in-house drills to enable immediate response to emergencies during customer service, as well as organizing power cords in the office to eliminate the risk of electric shock and tripping accidents.

Park Sunghyo, Chairman of the Small Enterprise and Market Service, stated, "We will continue to actively implement the risk assessment system and promote best practices to ensure the safety of workers and fulfill our social responsibility as a public institution."
