Kia AutoLand Gwangju announced Tuesday that it is carrying out a 2026 large-and-small enterprise safety and health cooperation project aimed at preventing industrial accidents and improving safety and health management standards among its partner companies.
The project seeks to establish a model of voluntary cooperation between Kia AutoLand Gwangju and its suppliers on safety and health matters, with the shared goal of reducing industrial accidents and raising management standards.
Taking into account each supplier's fiscal condition, support requests and risk of serious accidents, Kia AutoLand Gwangju selected 14 partner companies — seven in-house and seven external — to receive either external risk-assessment consulting or safety and health equipment.
Under the risk-assessment component, external specialist firms will provide consulting to help partner companies build their own risk-assessment capabilities, identify hazards independently and establish a proactive risk-management framework.
The safety and health equipment support covers essential items such as automated external defibrillators, safety footwear and protective gear, strengthening the safety infrastructure at supplier worksites.
