ISO 45001 certified.

To maintain high workplace safety standards,
Samsung Semiconductor continuously assesses its workplace for potential risks. All Samsung sites worldwide have health and safety management system standards in place. Since the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System was established in 2018, all Samsung Semiconductor workplaces, beginning with those in Korea, made the transition from OHSAS 18001 certification to ISO 45001. As of the end of 2020, all worksites have acquired the ISO 45001 certification and have implemented an occupational health and safety management framework that meets the latest ISO 45001 specifications.

With the updated occupational health and safety management system, Samsung Semiconductor strives to provide a safer and healthier workplace for all employees and prevent work-related injuries and health issues.

To assess and eliminate risk factors for the prevention of safety and health risks

With the prompt response to an accident, assessing and eliminating harmful risk factors in advance is the key to preventing safety accidents.

Samsung Semiconductor has a dedicated organization that conducts safety and health risk assessments to identify harmful risk factors in advance.

A total of 18,432 risk assessments were conducted in 2024, and of those, 48 cases of high-grade improvements were identified and fully resolved.

Samsung Semiconductor has processes in place to safely handle new chemicals and prevent related accidents before using these chemicals.
When introducing a new chemical, we conduct a “chemical pre-assessment” to assess environmental, safety, health, and disaster prevention hazards and risks, and even after the in-house introduction of such chemical, follow-up checks are carried out through the work environment assessment.
