KOGAS
KOGAS identifies risks that may occur in new, expanded, or changed facilities, as well as risk factors due to work activities. This is done by analysing causes, evaluating results, and presenting recommendations and action plans for risk reduction and elimination. Safety inspection activities are conducted randomly throughout the year.
