[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Wook] The Changnyeong-gun Facilities Management Corporation in Gyeongnam announced on the 11th that six business sites, including the Gunmin Sports Center, the Gun Municipal Swimming Pool, the National Sports Center, Sports Park, the Public Funeral Hall, and the Memorial Park, which are sports and funeral facilities, have been recognized as 'Excellent Workplaces for Risk Assessment' by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency.

The Excellent Workplaces for Risk Assessment recognition system is a safety and health management activity that identifies harmful and hazardous factors within the workplace in advance, establishes improvement measures, and implements them. The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency selects workplaces through an evaluation process based on recognition criteria and procedures.

The recognition criteria consist of four items: the employer's level of interest, the level of risk assessment implementation, the participation and understanding level of members, and the level of accident occurrence. The corporation received a high evaluation in the level of risk assessment implementation by improving harmful and hazardous factors through patrol inspections and hearing surveys.

Excellent Workplaces for Risk Assessment can receive various benefits during the recognition validity period (3 years), such as exemption from government safety and health supervision and opportunities for government awards or commendation recommendations.

Director Kim Yang-deuk said, "We will actively strive to establish a safety and health management system and prevent accidents through risk assessments in all areas managed by the corporation."
