[전국]Personnel punished even in successive industrial accident deaths… urged to supplement the’Severe Accident Act’

[앵커]

Recently, deaths from industrial accidents followed in Gwangju and Jeonnam.

However, it is not possible to punish business owners with the severe disaster penalty law that has passed the National Assembly.

This is due to the grace period, and there are high voices in the labor community calling for the supplementation of the Serious Disaster Penalty Act.

It is a plastic reprocessing company in Gwangju.

There is an order to stop working.

This is because a female worker in her 50s was caught in a shredder and killed.

Earlier, at a company in Yeosu Industrial Complex, Jeollanam-do, a worker in her 30s was caught in an accident and was transferred to a hospital, but died.

The problem is that both companies with industrial accidents cannot be punished by the severe disaster punishment law passed by the National Assembly after recent twists and turns.

Both companies are workplaces with less than 50 employees, so the employer can be punished only 3 years after the grace period.

Businesses with less than 5 employees were excluded at all.

In the labor world, as industrial accidents are common in workplaces with fewer than 50 people, we strongly urged the supplement of the law.

About 2,400 workers die from industrial accidents a year,

As both business people’s groups and the labor community are dissatisfied, it is noteworthy whether the serious disaster punishment law will be supplemented.
