Implementation of workplace safety law on smaller firms

Labor Minister Lee Jeong-sik (R) inspects a kitchen at a Korean restaurant in Seoul on Jan. 29, 2024, two days after the expanded implementation of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, a workplace safety law aimed at penalizing employers for serious industrial accidents, went into force as scheduled. The implementation comes on the heels of rival parties' failure to agree on an additional two-year grace period for small businesses with fewer than 50 employees. (Pool photo) (Yonhap)
