KB Financial Group, in collaboration with the Korea Industrial Promotion Agency, is supporting 950 small and medium-sized enterprises with on-site improvements, safety equipment provision, and safety education. The initiative, part of the 'SME Industrial Safety Infrastructure Support Project,' aims to enhance workplace safety and establish safety management systems. This year, 50 supplier companies with industrial safety technology and products were selected, connecting with approximately 950 beneficiary businesses. Support areas include on-site improvements, safety equipment provision, and safety education/consulting, with customized solutions tailored to industries and work environments.
