30th Anniversary, Reaffirming Resolution for Re-foundation and New-start

Announcing Emblem and Slogan Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of KOSHA’s Foundation

 

□ Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA, President Lee Young-Soon) prepared and announced the emblem and slogan commemorating the 30th anniversary of the agency’s foundation.

○ The emblem comprises the number indicating the ‘30th anniversary of foundation’ and the curve symbolizing the futuristic dynamics centering on the cross-shaped CI of KOSHA representing ‘safety and protection’ as well as ‘health and happiness.’

○ The slogan, ‘Toward Happiness Beyond Safety’, harbors the will to pursue happiness of both workers and their families on the solid foundation for safety and health.

 

□ KOSHA was established on December 9, 1987, on the basis of the ‘Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency Act’ which was enacted on May 30, 1987 and is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

○ Established as the organization exclusively in charge of occupational accident prevention, the agency has given extensive efforts in propagating specialized skills for preventing occupational accidents in industrial settings and establishing the safety and health management system alongside the government.

○ Since the foundation in 1987, the number of workplaces covered by the occupational accident prevention program increased 29.4 times and workers, 3.4 times as of 2016, while the death rate per 10,000 workers (?) dropped from 3.29 down to 0.96 and accident rate (%), from 2.66 down to 0.49, respectively.

* Death Rate per 10,000 Workers: The ratio of death caused by accident in every 10,000 workers

* Accident Rate: The ratio of death or injury caused by accident in every 100 workers

 

○ KOSHA had promoted occupational accident prevention programs centering on workplaces frequently manifesting occupational accidents in the beginning, however, has provided the comprehensive occupational accident prevention service by laying more emphasis on technical, financial, and educational supports and programs propagating safety culture from the 2000’s in order to expand and intensify the conditions for small workplaces to enhance the safety and health of their workers autonomously and independently.

○ KOSHA also secured the status as the world-class professional occupational safety and health agency as the agency held the 18th World Congress on Safety and Health at Work in 2008, was selected as the Chair Organization for the Prevention Culture Section of International Social Security Association (ISSA) in 2010, and held the 31st International Congress on Occupational Health in 2015.

○ Recently, KOSHA has intensified the Safety Inspection before Work campaign with the catchphrase, “Safety inspection before work, protects your life” in order to firmly establish the pan-national safety culture.

 

□ KOSHA President Young-soon Lee said, “Our society and industrial settings are undergoing many changes due to great changes in the environment such as the fourth industrial revolution. By taking the 30th anniversary as the re-foundation of the agency, we will reaffirm our resolution to make this year the year to intensify our capabilities to prevent occupational accidents to cope with the new age,” emphasizing the agency’s determination to prevent occupation accident.
