DESCRIPTION: The Serious Accidents Punishment Act (the “SAPA”), passed by the National Assembly on January 8, 2021, is intended to prevent serious workplace accidents and man-made disasters. It requires businesses (and government entities) to adopt health and safety management systems to prevent such accidents and imposes heavy criminal and administrative liability on companies and their senior officers if failure to do so results in serious accidents. SAPA can be seen as a legislative effort by the Korean government to address public concerns about numerous fatal industrial accidents and public disasters in recent years. SAPA provides broad outlines for a new system of criminal liability for workplace injuries and public disasters. Kim and Chang’s Webinar will highlight key features of the newly enacted law and suggest ways to mitigate potential risks.
