The Majo rof Safety Engineering was established at the request of the Korean government in 1985 to nurture specialized personnel related to technologies to reduce and prevent industrial accidents. In Korea, it is legally required to employ safety managers in all industries including construction, machinery, shipbuilding, electrical and electronic fields, and petrochemicals. For this reason, most of our graduates play a leading role in accident prevention and safety management in private manufacturing and construction companies as well as public institutions. In particular, our efforts to develop safety technology and train specialized manpower focus not only on existing heavy industries such as chemical and mechanical fields, construction, shipbuilding, and electric power but also on high-tech industries related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution such as smart factories.
