On August 7, the Korea Securities Depository announced that it had become the first financial institution to obtain the 'Serious Accidents Punishment Act Compliance Certification' in recognition of its efforts and achievements in preventing serious industrial accidents and workplace injuries among its employees.
This certification is a private accreditation operated by Daeryuk Aju LLC, and is awarded to workplaces that faithfully fulfill the employer's 'duty to secure safety and health' in accordance with the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, following a thorough review of documentation and on-site inspections.

In particular, the Korea Securities Depository was highly rated not only for establishing its own safety and health management manual, but also for independently developing separate manuals for its subsidiary KSDream and the KSD Nanum Foundation, as well as for conducting integrated risk assessments with its subcontractors to eliminate risk factors.
With this achievement, the Korea Securities Depository has now established a safety and health management system that meets both legal and international standards, having obtained the ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) certification in March and now the 'Serious Accidents Punishment Act Compliance Certification.'
In addition, the Korea Securities Depository signed a business agreement with Daeryuk Aju LLC to cooperate on investigating the causes of accidents and establishing measures to prevent recurrence in the event of serious or industrial accidents, as well as to provide consulting services aimed at improving the overall level of safety and health management.
