On June 9, Hyundai Elevator announced that it had received an A grade in the Serious Accidents Punishment Act (SAPA) compliance certification assessment.

Between April and May, Hyundai Elevator underwent a document review and on-site inspection by Daeryook & AJU LLC and the Korea Industrial Health Association, successfully demonstrating its safety and health management capabilities. The SAPA compliance certification system (SCC) comprehensively evaluates a company’s safety and health management system for preventing major accidents, as well as the implementation status of its legal obligations regarding safety and health.

Through proactive safety management improvements, Hyundai Elevator advanced from its previous B grade to an A grade. The company reportedly received high marks for upgrading its safety management system and establishing preventive processes, with the Safety Support Office leading these initiatives.

Efforts to prevent on-site safety accidents are being accelerated through the adoption of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The company is applying a variety of smart safety systems, including improvements to visibility for fire and evacuation facilities in the factory, the establishment of an AI vision platform, the operation of unmanned forklifts, and the use of live bodycams to reduce on-site accidents.

A Hyundai Elevator official stated, "Achieving an A grade in the SAPA compliance certification is not only a recognition of our safety capabilities, but also signifies our ongoing responsibility to identify risk factors and continue upgrading our systems," adding, "We will continue our efforts to create a safe workplace free from serious accidents."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Elevator has received certification for its company-wide integrated safety and health management system (ISO 45001) and was awarded the Prime Minister’s Award at the 24th Korea Safety Awards in 2025. Recently, the company launched a shared growth program that extends its proprietary safety management system to the sites of its small and medium-sized partner companies.
