KOSHA was given 'Excellent', the highest rating in '2014 Partnerships of Public Institution Evaluation.'

The Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy and Korean Commission for Corporate Partnership have conducted the evaluation annually since 2007. The purpose of this event is to encourage public institutions to take a lead in partnerships and cooperation.

Among 4 grades of the evaluation, Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor, KOSHA was rated on the top grade, Excellent, in the evaluation of targeting 59 public institutions.

Last year, KOSHA organized a task force taking full charge of promoting cooperation for SMEs, drew up 60% of all budgets for the promotion, and integrated 'cooperation-centered' approach into the management policy of KOSHA. This was highly estimated when it comes to having higher willingness to promote win-win growth.

In particular, the effort of KOSHA has been spotlighted on promoting partnerships and setting up the 4 major strategic tasks followed by enterprise-wide co-prosperity to make all social stake holders to actively participate in the occupational health market.

The efforts of KOSHA for the co-prosperity include running programs for coexistence and collaboration as well as an OSH leaders' group; lending financial assistance to SMEs in OSH matters; establishing a self-regulatory OSH management capacity of SMEs through Risk Assessment; strengthening abilities of partners aiming at small and medium sized accident prevention; etc.

A staff of KOSHA mentioned "The result proves that KOSHA has implemented fruitful activities by establishing a unique model for win-win growth and putting plans into actions." The staff added "Taking this as a stepping stone, KOSHA will solidify its status as a leading organization in co-prosperity by complementing and improving the system we have promoted in the years to come."
