Serious Accidents & Industrial Safety

Overview

The industrial safety practice covers the duty of business owners and management executives to secure health and safety under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act and Industrial Safety and Health Act, development of occupational safety management systems, and criminal and administrative response when serious industrial accidents occur. Since the Serious Accidents Punishment Act took effect in 2022, criminal liability of management executives has become a reality, driving a sharp increase in corporate demand for industrial safety legal services.
