Academic researchers, including professors and 2,164 experts from various fields, including doctors, lawyers and nurses, issued a joint statement and urged the enactment of the Law on Corporate Punishment for Severe Accidents (Severe Accidents Law), and included the clause of ` “ punitive damages ”, which is a detailed subject of the bill. They called for full application of the law without “referring to workplaces with fewer than 50 employees.” On the morning of the 17th, they held a press conference in front of the main office of the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul, where the late Kim Yong-gyun’s mother, Kim Mi-sook, and Kang Eun-mi, the Party chief Justice, demanded the enactment of the Major Disasters Law. △ To ensure the validity of the law, punitive damages must be included, and △ A joint statement was issued that appealed to apply the totality without a grace period to small companies with less than 50 workers, where deaths from work accidents are concentrated. In their joint statement, “We are academic researchers who diagnose the causes of social problems such as industrial accidents, chemical leak accidents, disinfectant humidifiers and Sewol ferry disasters, and we are safeguarding the lives of workers and citizens. Health professionals, medical professionals who treat patients and legal experts who help victims of industrial accidents, environmental pollution, accidents and disasters. He said: “We met the victims of repeated industrial accidents and disasters, and as a result of the violation of the law by companies, people were killed and injured. “I urged the enactment of the Severe Disaster Law with a desperate heart because I realized that the tragedy cannot be stopped without correcting a society in which no one is duly responsible for the disease.” They said: “The clause of ‘punitive compensation for damages’, which is omitted within the power of the people, must be included in the details of the bill. It is a reasonable way to ask for responsibility. In addition, they are also concerned about the provision of the ‘four-year suspension for the application of workplaces with less than 50 employees’ included in the Democratic Party. 6 out of 10 workplace accident deaths occur in workplaces with fewer than 50 employees. “Considering the reality that large corporations are transferring risks by setting the size of their internal subcontractors to less than 50 employees, it does not meet the purpose of the legislation. “It is not unconditionally delayed, but if there is a main office, the main office must be accountable and in the case of small businesses, the government must provide financial and technical support and oversight.

Said. President Kim said: “The causation estimation rule also attempts to estimate a causal relationship within a reasonable range based on circumstances that have been difficult to prevent when a major disaster occurs. The Environmental Crime Control Act, the Environmental Pollution Damage Relief and Humidifier Disinfectant Damage Relief Act There are already legislative examples such as special laws. ”Kim Mi-sook, who has been fasting for 7 days since the 11th, said:“ When did the Kim Yong-gyun Law (Amendment to the Occupational Safety and Health Law) without Kim Yong-gyun, I was very angry. If the Severe Disaster Law is like this again, I can’t seem to take it anymore. So I want you to be as thorough as it is fast, “he said.” I made a law that prevents many deaths because of him so that I have correctly enacted the Serious Disaster Law so that the next time I go with my son, he will be sad, but I wonder if it could be a bit confusing.
