Samsung Changwon Hospital, the first hospital in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam to obtain ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) certification.

ISO 45001 is an international certification system designed to ensure the health and safety of workers, granted to organizations that systematically manage and prevent workplace health and safety risks.

Recently, as social interest in workers' health and safety has increased, occupational health and safety management has become an essential task. In response, Samsung Changwon Hospital has established a safety and health management system that meets international standards to create a safe and healthy environment for both medical care and work. This includes the development of safety and health manuals, procedures, and guidelines; operation of a bulletin board for identifying potential hazards; continuous collection of employee feedback; and regular risk assessments.

As a result, the hospital has been officially recognized as a safe institution responsible for the safety of not only its staff but also patients, caregivers, and all visitors through this certification.

Oh Juhyun, Director of Samsung Changwon Hospital, stated, "We will continue to advance our safety and health management system and take the lead in creating a medical environment where both staff and local residents can feel secure."
