▶ The only firm among Tier 1 commercial interior design companies to hold SA1… maintains highest grade for three consecutive years
▶ Maintains the top 0.5% industry standard since becoming the first in the interior construction sector to achieve the grade in 2024
▶ Sustains field-centric safety management backed by a dedicated health & safety organization and ISO45001
RSQUARE DESIGN (CEO: Yong-su Jang), an architectural and interior design specialist, has achieved the highest grade of 'SA1' in the NICE D&B Construction Safety Management Evaluation for the third consecutive year. According to RSQUARE DESIGN on the 16th, the firm has maintained this pinnacle rating up to this year, following its milestone achievement as the first in the interior construction industry to receive the SA1 grade in 2024.
The NICE D&B Construction Safety Management Evaluation is a system where NICE D&B, a specialized corporate credit rating agency, comprehensively evaluates and grades a company's level of health and safety management system establishment, on-site safety management activities, and disaster prevention capabilities. Clients and major construction firms actively utilize this evaluation as an objective indicator to verify safety management capabilities when selecting subcontractors. Furthermore, cases are increasing where extra points are awarded to enterprises equipped with certified health and safety management systems.
In the evaluation report, NICE D&B assessed RSQUARE DESIGN as having 'the highest tier of safety capabilities for establishing, operating, and executing health and safety management frameworks.' The firm recorded overall good or excellent levels across major evaluation parameters, including management system establishment, hazardous and risk factor management, disaster prevention, and health and safety training. In particular, the fact that the firm has 'zero history of major occupational disasters' was positively reflected in the score.
The SA1 rating is a top-tier grade corresponding to the upper 0.5% of the industry across both general and specialized construction sectors, making its acquisition exceptionally rare. In fact, RSQUARE DESIGN's attainment of the SA1 grade in 2024 marked the first-ever case in the interior construction industry, and it currently stands as the sole firm among Tier 1 commercial interior design providers to maintain this specific grade for three consecutive years.
Since establishing a dedicated health and safety management organization in 2022, RSQUARE DESIGN acquired the ISO45001 (Safety and Health Management System) certification and has consistently operated the framework. The company currently conducts Tool Box Meetings (TBM), regular risk assessments, and safety inspections/training, alongside subcontractor health and safety qualification evaluations and executive-led on-site inspections. Recently, centered around its Architecture Division, the firm is broadening its business portfolio into hospital expansions, tourist hotel new builds, and hotel remodeling initiatives, subsequently elevating and sophisticatedly tailoring its safety management framework to match these projects.
"Maintaining the SA1 grade for three consecutive years is the direct outcome of placing safety as our utmost priority value and consistently operating a field-centric safety management system," stated CEO Yong-su Jang. "We will firmly root a safety culture where both executives, employees, and subcontractors actively participate together, and continue our steadfast efforts to engineer a secure construction environment."
