In Korea, the management of hazardous substances is governed by multiple regulatory frameworks, including the Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemical Substances (K-REACH), the Chemicals Control Act, the Hazardous Materials Safety Control Act, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Compliance with these regulations requires adherence to storage, transportation, and handling requirements, obtaining relevant permits (notifications and registrations), and establishing internal management systems.
ELPS provides comprehensive support that integrates technical and legal expertise—covering substance classification, MSDS review, and regulatory assessments, as well as legal advisory and representation in administrative actions, prosecutions, and other incident-related proceedings.
In particular, ELPS provides advisory and compliance support for high-risk hazardous chemicals, facility installation permits, pollutant release and transfer register (PRTR) reporting, and off-site impact assessments. We proactively identify and address potential compliance blind spots that companies may overlook, ensuring the adequacy of submissions to regulatory authorities and developing effective response strategies through expert collaboration.
In the event of chemical incidents or regulatory violations, we offer integrated support encompassing root cause analysis, internal response manual development, environmental dispute resolution, and litigation support—effectively minimizing business risks.
