The Seongnam Urban Development Corporation received a favorable evaluation on September 23 from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency for its Safety and Health Management System (KOSHA MS).
According to the corporation, the Safety and Health Management System involves a series of processes where top management declares safety and health policies, establishes and operates implementation plans, and continuously improves safety and health levels through monitoring and evaluation.
The corporation has been recognized for enhancing its systematic management framework and consistently promoting site-centered safety and health activities since it became the first local public enterprise to obtain KOSHA 18001 certification in 2007.
To strengthen safety management, the corporation operates a dedicated safety department directly under the CEO and designates safety officers for each site, establishing a comprehensive safety and health management system.
CEO Lee Jae-yul has prioritized safety as a key management issue since taking office, continuing to focus on site-centered safety management.
He has personally visited major facilities, including the Sangdaewon Third Parking Lot, to assess safety management conditions. On September 22, he visited the Pangyo Underpass Management Office and the underpass site to review safety management status and gather feedback from site personnel.
The corporation has also strengthened support for enhancing worker safety and health. It has conducted surveys on the conditions of rest facilities at work sites to significantly improve working environments and offers health consultations, job stress management, and psychological recovery programs.
Each year, the corporation conducts assessments of safety and health levels, linking the results to departmental performance indicators to drive improvement activities.
CEO Lee stated, “It is important that safety and health management goes beyond establishing systems to operate effectively in the field. We will continue to listen carefully to voices from the field and strengthen preventive measures while actively utilizing technologies such as AI and IoT to create a safe working environment.”
He added, “With this favorable evaluation from the post-audit, we will further solidify our safety and health management system and foster an organizational culture that respects life and safety.”
