SK Broadband said on Tuesday it won a commendation from the Minister of Employment and Labor in the industrial accident prevention category at the 2025 government awards presentation ceremony. It said SKB was the only company in the telecommunications industry to receive the ministerial commendation in that field.

The industrial accident prevention award is a system hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor that recognises companies with significant contributions to preventing industrial accidents while working on occupational safety and health-related tasks. SKB was recognised for producing results in industrial accident prevention and for activities to spread a culture of social safety.

SKB carried out active and creative industrial accident prevention activities led by a dedicated safety and health organisation. In 2025, it signed a business agreement with the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office and the Seoul metropolitan headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency to spread a culture of social safety, and ran various campaigns.

SKB produced and distributed a safety and health training webtoon containing government policies such as the "12 key safety rules" using the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency and SKB characters.

In particular, heat-illness prevention activities carried out during the hot season raised safety awareness with friendly explanations by portraying campaign participants as characters. It distributed specially produced bottled water and 20,250 sets of vitamins nationwide to worksites and to the public, in the hope of recording zero cases of heat illness in 2025.

It also aired a total of more than 12,000 campaign promotional videos and captions through B tv and local channels. It reflected the relevant phrase in fee notices. It installed safety-culture banners on vehicles that visit more than 200 office buildings and worksites nationwide to emphasise a visual message.

It also worked to spread the campaign within the company by displaying industrial accident prevention banners in shared spaces at offices nationwide and airing promotional videos for safety and health campaigns nearly 10,000 times a year.

Sung Jin-su, SKB's chief safety and health officer, said the ministerial commendation in the industrial accident field was recognition of the company's efforts to emphasise safety and health. He said it would continue to work with the public and private sectors on prevention-focused practices at worksites by using AI smart safety, participatory safety culture and its infrastructure to fulfil social responsibility.
