KOSHA, Invited the Delegation of Mongolian General Agency for Specialized Inspection

 KOSHA (President Hun-ki Baek) invited the delegation of Mongolian General Agency for Specialized Inspection composed of 5 people including the Deputy Director Gunibazar for 3 days from March 19 to 21 and transferred Korea's occupational safety and health techniques and systems to Mongolia through a focused discussion on how to implement the techniques and systems in Mongolia.
