(Society)Ministry of Labor and Employment Established Industrial Accident Recovery Center in Fatal Accident of Hyundai Motor… “Comprehensive Investigation”

The Ministry of Labor and Employment has established a central and regional industrial accident management center to respond to the accident in which three employees testing vehicles at Hyundai Motor’s Ulsan plant died by drowning.

In this regard, Minister of Labor and Employment Kim Moon-soo ordered a rapid and comprehensive investigation into the accident today (on the 19th) to determine the cause and responsibility for the accident.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Labor and Employment said that the Busan and Ulsan offices, which are authorized employment and labor offices, were sent to the site immediately after the accident to instruct the work to be stopped and the cause was investigated.

We also plan to launch special inspections at the workplace and headquarters, while strictly investigating whether the Occupational Health and Safety Law and the Serious Accident Penalty Law have been violated.

Earlier, around 3:20 pm today (April 19), three researchers who were testing vehicles at Hyundai Motor’s Ulsan plant 4 were found unconscious in the car and were taken to the hospital, but they died.
