According to Yonhap News,

[Busan = Yonhap News] Reporter Min Young-gyu — The Busan Economic Promotion Agency announced on the 27th that the 11 companies participating in last year's 'Safety Management Reinforcement Support Program' achieved significant results, including a 95 percent decrease in industrial accident victims compared to the previous year.

The number of industrial accident victims at participating companies last year was 1, a sharp decrease from 20 the previous year.

"Near misses," which refer to situations where there was a risk of an accident but no actual accident occurred, also decreased from 36 cases to 4 cases.

Additionally, the number of hazardous and risk factors identified dropped from 36 to 12.

The Busan Economic Promotion Agency promoted this project jointly with the Busan Economic Revitalization Fund last year and supported KRW 10 million in safety equipment purchase costs for each participating company.

Song Bok-cheol, head of the Busan Economic Promotion Agency, stated, "Support for safety equipment goes beyond simple environmental improvement and serves as an opportunity for companies themselves to recognize safety as an important element of management." He added, "We will continue to promote effective safety support projects centered on the field."
