The current Act requires persons who are engaged in work with a high risk of safety accidents among those engaged in the harbor transport business or port transport-related businesses to receive training executed by the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries.

Despite the training, since safety accidents at the harbor facilities continue to occur, there is a need to strengthen the safety management of workers in harbors.

Therefore, this amendment aims to guide and supervise harbor transport business owners and port transport-related businesses owners by stipulating a harbor safety supervisor appointed in the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries to manage and supervise the safety of workers in harbors; prescribe the business owners’ obligation to submit an industrial accident report; and provide a basis for the formation and operation of the consultative body for harbor safety (Article 27, Article 27-9, and Article 28-2 (1) 4 newly inserted).

Newly insert the provisions to guide and supervise harbor transport business owners and port transport-related business owners by the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (Article 27)

Request for reporting and data related to industrial accident reports (Article 28-2)
