The Ministry of Labor and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) signed a Memorandum of understanding (MoU) on occupational safety and health cooperation on May 15th.
The MoU was signed by the Deputy Labor Minister of Mongolia, the chairman of the National Committee of Labor Safety and Hygiene, J.Batkhuyag, the head of the Labor Relations Policy and Regulatory Authority, B.Alimaa and South Korea`s Vice Minister of Employment and Labor, Jung Hyun-ok as well as a number of other officials.

It has been over a decade since the Labor Ministries of the two countries signed a cooperation agreement. In the past, over 110 Mongolian staff were involved in the occupational safety and hygiene training courses conducted by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA). These courses contributed much to strengthen human resources in this sector by providing staff with new experience and expertise.

By signing the cooperation MoU, the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) and Labor Ministry of Mongolia will cooperate to improve the legal environment for occupational safety and hygiene and make amendments into the law on labor security and hygiene. They will also share information and experiment on providing management systems, reducing occupational accidents, improving working conditions and hygiene standards, to name a few.
