KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- The need for safety management across industrial sites has increased significantly in South Korea recently, with the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act (SAPA).
As fatal accidents on industrial sites have become a major social issue, the National Assembly has passed SAPA which took effect on Jan 27, 2022, according to a statement.
Although SAPA is not much different from the established Occupational Safety and Health Act as both Acts are aimed at preventing serious accidents while ensuring the safety of workers.
It has expanded the range of those applicable disasters to a great extent with much enhanced punishment for violating the law.
With a surge in market demand to comply with SAPA, various solutions and products have been released to take a proactive approach to prevent accidents and casualties at construction sites.
LG U+ introduced “Smart Safety Solution,” a Bluetooth and machine learning-based smart safety platform.
Meanwhile, GSIL, a smart safety company, launched a smart safety integrated platform “BE-IT” with 4th industrial technologies such as IoT, ICT, and AI, providing a solution to manage safety issues and productivity through integrated safety data in the field.
The K-ConSafety Expo, which will be held at KINTEX in Goyang from Oct 19 to 21, is a great opportunity to meet the latest products and solutions of smart construction safety companies to manage on-site safety and prevent serious accidents.
In addition to LG U+ and GSIL, POSCO ICT will participate as an official sponsor.
