The Serious Accidents Punishment Act is a law that strengthens safety and health obligations by punishing business operators, management officials, and corporations when serious accidents occur due to violations of safety measures.

Earlier this year, the corporation established a dedicated department for serious accidents and has been making company-wide efforts to prevent serious accidents by strengthening safety measures in various fields at each site, including the Yongsan Vehicle Depot heavy maintenance workshop.

President Jo Ik-moon stated, “This training has deepened the consensus on the obligation to secure safety and health to prevent serious accidents,” adding, “We will be more thorough in safety management to prioritize the protection of the lives and safety of citizens and workers.”
