On April 20, the Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency (President: Lee Young-Soon) had a recognition ceremony for the certificate of  15,000th workplace in Risk Assessmentat the Ansan plant of NongHyup Chemical.

Recognition ceremony for the 15,000th workplace in Risk Assessment

- Date: April 20, 2017(Thursday) 11:00-12:00

and executive direction of the Ansan plant of NongHyup Chemical

○ Since the first recognition in July 2014, Ansan Plant of Nonghyup Chemical promoted re-recognition, and got discounts of about 18 million won for the last 3 years.

The risk assessment system was first introduced on June 12, 2013 as a prior accident prevention activity where businesses identify and reduce the harmful risk elements. After 4 years since the system was first enforced, the 15,000th workplace in risk assessment was born.

○ Ansan plant of Nonghyup Chemical made drastic investments in facilities and continued to run a risk assessment TF team in order to reduce the risks that occur in the process of producing agricultural pesticides (granular, globular and liquid flowable types), and was re-recognized as an excellent business in risk assessment.

* Invested more than 600 million won during the recognized period for installing guardrails and protection fences at falling risk areas, installing screw conveyor protection cover limit switches, securing safety passages by installing cross-bridges, reducing noise by installing sound isolation booths.

○ Ansan plant managed to have the honor of being re-recognized in risk assessment as all the workers including the plant manager completed the risk assessment training course, and carried out voluntary safety activities such as finding harmful risk elements for themselves according to the manual and came up with improvement measures.

○ The risk assessment recognition is effective for 3 years. After 3 years since the system was enforced, 388 companies were re-recognized in 2016, and this year, 3,640 businesses are expected to apply for the re-recognition.

Re-recognition rate of 2016: 96.0%(388, out of 404 applied, were recognized)

President Lee Young-Soon of KOSHA said that "risk assessment is an autonomous safety activity where a business owner finds out the risk elements and reduces them. I hope that this system will be widely recognized as a role model of small-sized businesses, and KOSHA will endeavor to play its role and provide support."
