As stated in the MOU, the Association and KOSHA will jointly develop 31 types of media materials for accident prevention, including practical guides and leaflets for safe work processes when using hazardous machinery and equipment. The developed materials will be made available to shipbuilders and partner companies across the nation, free of charge, through the website of KOSHA.

Ulsan Shipbuilders’ S&H Association, the partner of KOSHA in the initiative to develop media materials for the shipbuilding industry, was formed in 2009 aimed at preventing accidents in the industry. Participated by 11 shipbuilders and Hyundai Mipo Dockyard as the presiding company, the Association has been in charge of safety and health management including serious accident prevention efforts for partner companies.

“Joining hands with Ulsan Shipbuilders’ S&H Association, which is a group of leaders in the Korean shipbuilding industry, will go a long way in assisting voluntary safety management activities in workplaces and reducing accidents at work. Also, the collaboration on media materials development and distribution will help to provide the much needed guidance to workers,” said director Park, Dong Ki of Training and Media Department.
