The Safety and Health Management System is an international standard that certifies whether a company's safety and health management framework can anticipate and prevent harmful and hazardous factors that may arise at worksites. The corporation was recognized for establishing and operating a systematic safety and health management system that proactively identifies and addresses risk factors in advance.

A representative from the Korea Rural Community Corporation stated, "The firm commitment to safety management led by President Kim Injung was also highly praised." The representative added, "Since his inauguration, President Kim has placed people-centered safety at the forefront and has continued safety management practices, focusing on enhancing the practical effectiveness of the safety management system at worksites."

Last year, the corporation established and implemented the "KRC-EVERY Safe Workplace" strategy, reflecting the characteristics of various sizes of worksites distributed across the nation. The corporation introduced smart safety equipment such as artificial intelligence (AI) CCTV, and also promoted field-oriented safety measures targeting small-scale worksites and vulnerable workers.

President Kim said, "By obtaining this Safety and Health Management System certification, we have confirmed that the corporation's safety and health management system meets international standards. We will do our utmost to ensure that the safety management system operates effectively at worksites and to create accident-free workplaces."

Building on this certification, Korea Rural Community Corporation plans to continuously advance its safety and health management system, take the lead in spreading a culture of safety, and further strengthen its social responsibility as a public institution.
