Serious Accidents Response

As social concerns about industrial accidents are growing, the loss of corporate image and legal risks due to industrial accidents are growing year by year, and the Serious Accident Punishment Act, which came into effect on January 17, 2022, stipulates direct punishment of management in the event of a serious accident, making active management of industrial safety more necessary than ever. The Act calls for companies to actively engage in safety and health management, including establishing a dedicated organization and budget for safety and health management, and requires companies to take extensive safety and health measures. In order to proactively respond to the Act, it is essential to understand and proactively respond to various regulations related to the company. In addition, in the event of an industrial accident on site, whether or not the company has responded appropriately, such as investigating the cause of the accident and consulting with the victims, will have a significant impact on the future course of the investigation, so it is essential to establish a dedicated response team immediately upon the occurrence of the accident and respond sufficiently before the investigation begins.
