This study analyzes the current status of emergency response systems across various legal frameworks in domestic workplaces and examines the feasibility of their unification. Currently, different regulations, such as the Industrial Safety and Health Act, the Chemical Substances Control Act, and the High-Pressure Gas Safety Control Act, impose distinct requirements for emergency response systems. These discrepancies lead to redundant administrative burdens, delays in initial response, and difficulties in inter-agency cooperations. This study identifies key issues through in-depth interviews with safety professionals and organizational analysis. The findings confirm that integrating emergency response systems based on the Incident Command System (ICS) enhances employees’ role awareness, expedites initial response, and strengthens institutional collaborations. Based on these analytical results, the study suggests an example of integrating organization model for workplace emergency response system and presents implications and directions for future research.
