The Yangsan Branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor (Branch Chief Kwon Gu-hyeong) and the Gyeongnam Eastern Branch of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (Branch Chief Kim Pan-gi) held a Safety and Health Forum for the prevention of serious accidents on the 23rd in collaboration with the Wungsang Business Association.
On this day, the Wungsang Business Association, consisting of about 60 business owners from the Wungsan area of Yangsan City, participated. The agency announced policy directions related to the establishment and implementation of safety and health management systems for the prevention of serious accidents and discussed industrial safety issues such as the Industrial Safety Diagnosis and the Joint Safety Manager Support Project.
The Joint Safety Manager Support Project is a program that supports part of the operating expenses for personnel hired for joint safety management of small and medium-sized enterprises to establish a risk assessment-centered safety and health management system, providing up to 2.5 million KRW per month for a maximum of 8 months.
The Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency have been operating the Safety and Health Forum year-round since the launch ceremony on March 22, to communicate, learn, share, and spread safety and health know-how.
Branch Chief Kwon Gu-hyeong said, “Many workplaces face difficulties in establishing and implementing safety and health management systems,” and added, “We will continue to communicate actively to create safer workplaces by making full use of government support such as the Industrial Safety Diagnosis and the Joint Safety Manager Support Project.”
