At the request of the Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGSC), MATHESON experts have been working with the Korea Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) and the KGSC to improve gas and chemical safety in Korea.
The relationship began late in 2012 at a chemicals safety conference sponsored by several Korean government agencies, including MOTIE and KGSC. The principal objectives of the conference were the study of chemical spills, improvements in the training of chemical workers, and improvements in the readiness of Korean emergency responders.
