On August 30th, DR & AJU and the Korea Economic News signed an MOU for operating a joint certification center for the SAPA Compliance Certification (SCC). The signing was held at the Construction Hall in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul.
 

The SCC is a comprehensive industrial safety compliance service that inspects companies’ safety and health management systems.
 

Based on this thorough inspection process, a certification committee composed of lawyers with over 20 years of experience and industrial safety experts assign certification grades. The grades are renewed and managed through annual inspections. To receive a C grade, a company must meet at least 60% of the evaluation criteria; a B grade requires meeting 70% or more; an A grade requires 80% or more; and an S grade requires 90% or more.
 

To date, over 120 companies in Korea, including POSCO, Hyosung Group, Hyundai Steel, Dongkuk Steel, and their affiliates, as well as Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), Incheon Port Authority (IPA), and S-1, have completed SCC certification.
