Korea strives to focus its safety culture on prevention
With one of the fast-growing economies among developed nations – and one largely driven by industry and construction – South Korea faces occupational safety and health challenges similar to those in other countries.
“Korea has designated public safety as a national priority,” said Young Soon Lee, president of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA). Lee spoke recently at the international A+A 2015 Trade Fair & Congress in Dusseldorf, Germany.
