Creating
Safe and Healthy Workplaces
Global Citizenship Health and Safety / Sharing Growth
Building Health and Safety Management Systems
Samsung Electronics makes every effort to operate safe workplaces and
to protect employee health by creating comfortable and thoroughly safe
conditions. Across our workplaces worldwide, we comply with OHSAS
18001, a global standard for occupational health and safety management
systems. Besides the world-class safety and health management sys-
tems in every workplace, we have established a variety of health-first
programs for employees, including professional medical services at an
in-house hospital, diet clinics, preventive measures for muscular skeletal
disease and several counseling facilities, such as the Life Coaching
Center, to help manage mental health.
Operating Workplaces with Safe Conditions
We focus on developing safe workplaces by examining potential risks
in advance. We then institute continuous monitoring and improvement.
We also develop emergency scenarios in the event of harmful chemical
substance spills, fires, explosions and natural disasters. To prepare for
environmental accidents, we also run hands-on employee education
programs for fire and chemical safety, operations and personal safety
and drills for emergency evacuation.
Supporting Employee Health and Safety Management
We are equally committed to improving employee safety and healthcare.
By analyzing the causes of muscular skeletal disease, which may be
associated with the manufacturing processes, we build ergonomic ad-
aptations in the working environment. In addition, we prohibit business
trips to regions that have a high risk of infectious disease, such as Ebola
or MERS, in order to protect our employees from contagion. Any employ-
ees who travel on business to neighboring regions are supported with
medical checkups upon their return.
