Is there a way to avoid a custodial sentence for a violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act?

Hello. I am the CEO running a small and medium-sized manufacturing company. Recently, a safety accident at the worksite resulted in the death of one worker, and the possibility of an investigation on charges of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act and occupational negligence causing death is currently being raised. I am very worried about the possibility of a custodial sentence. I would like to know whether there is a way to avoid a custodial sentence, what points I should focus on demonstrating, and why the assistance of an attorney during the investigation is necessary.

I am considering receiving Serious Accidents Punishment Act consulting. What kind of help can I receive?

Our company operates in manufacturing, and recently, concerns have been growing about whether we are subject to the Serious Accidents Punishment Act with respect to on-site safety management and whether the CEO or executives could actually be punished. No accident has occurred, but an internal opinion has arisen that it is necessary to check whether the safety management system meets the level required by law. I would like to know how far the inspection extends when receiving Serious Accidents Punishment Act consulting.

I want to avoid at least a custodial sentence for the charge of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act..

I have been indicted on a charge of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act. An accident occurred in which an employee working at the site leaned on the railing of a temporarily installed staircase, fell, and died. As the business owner, the possibility of a custodial sentence is even being raised on the ground that I failed to fulfill my safety measure obligations, and I am very frightened... That staircase was not a structure used over a long period but was temporarily installed for brief work. There were also notices at the site warning to be careful about safety, and I had no intention whatsoever of neglecting safety management in daily operations. Nevertheless, I am greatly worried about whether a custodial sentence could be imposed merely on the ground that a fatal accident occurred.

I need to respond to charges of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act. How should I respond?

I am a business owner who runs a factory. Recently, an accident occurred at the site in which a worker died while handling heavy objects, and I am being investigated by an investigative agency on charges of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act and occupational negligence causing death. During the investigation, several points were raised as problems, such as the failure to prepare a work plan, the insufficient marking of the maximum permissible load, and the failure to conduct a safety test on the self-manufactured heavy-object handling equipment. In the circumstances leading to the accident, there was also arbitrary work conduct by the worker, and yet I am greatly worried about whether all responsibility will be attributed to me. In a case of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act in which a worker's death occurred, I wonder in what direction I should respond from the early stage of the investigation in order to avoid an actual custodial sentence.. I am also considering whether I must retain an attorney.

Industrial accident attorney, an industrial accident has occurred.

I am a business owner running a construction business. Recently, a worker suffered a fall accident while working at the site and was transported to the hospital. I am wondering whether the site's safety measures were sufficient and whether this is a situation that must be reported immediately as an industrial accident. I would like to know whether I should consult an industrial accident attorney, and what legal obligations I must fulfill as a business owner and what points I should be careful about.

An employee suffered a traffic accident; must I process it as a commuting industrial accident?

Hello. I am a business owner who runs a small and medium-sized manufacturing company. A few days ago, one employee was injured in a traffic accident on the way to work, and says they will file an industrial accident claim with the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service. However, the company thinks that, because it was not an accident during work but an accident during the employee's personal commute, it does not seem to be subject to industrial accident coverage. Even in such a case, must the company process it as a commuting industrial accident? I am also curious whether the standard differs when an accident occurs while using a commuter bus operated by the company.

A fatal industrial accident has occurred.

Hello, I have a question regarding a fatal industrial accident. Recently, a fatal industrial accident occurred in which a worker at the factory I operate was caught in a press machine and died.. I supported the bereaved family with funeral expenses and other assistance, and treated them with the utmost respect. However, I heard that the bereaved family intends to file a claim for industrial accident damages. When I checked the CCTV, it also seemed that the worker may have violated their duty of care. To respond to the damages lawsuit, I would need the help of a specialist attorney, right?

I have been subjected to an industrial accident lawsuit. Please tell me how to respond.

Hello. Some time ago, an employee was injured while working at the factory. I looked into industrial accident insurance and even helped with the application. I learned that after resigning, the employee filed an industrial accident lawsuit against the company. Even though industrial accident insurance was claimed, do I have to additionally pay damages? I would be grateful if you could let me know.
