[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Hwaseong Industry announced on the 2nd that it was selected as an excellent company in the '2019 Public Construction Safety Management Level Evaluation.'

The Public Construction Safety Management Level Evaluation was introduced in 2016 to evaluate the safety accident prevention activities of participants in public construction projects, including ordering agencies, contractors, and construction management service providers, and to publicly disclose the results to encourage voluntary efforts to strengthen safety management activities among participants.

The evaluation is conducted for participants in public construction projects with a total construction cost of 20 billion KRW or more. The evaluation is carried out by the Korea Facilities Safety Corporation, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport publicly discloses the results. The main evaluation criteria include safety inspection activities, safety education, disaster prevention activities, operation of safety systems, and accident rates.

The 2019 evaluation was conducted on a total of 171 sites, three times more than the previous year, with evaluations of 92 ordering agencies, 56 construction management service providers, and 111 contractors. The evaluation grades are divided into Excellent (85-100 points), Average (60-85 points), Somewhat Inadequate (40-60 points), and Inadequate (below 40 points).

Hwaseong Industry received favorable evaluations for operating a dedicated safety department called the Safety Team and strengthening its roles and functions by organizing it directly under the CEO to establish the company's safety management policy.

A Hwaseong Industry official stated, "There can be no compromise on safety, and to pursue the company's goal of 'seeking the highest quality value,' we are strengthening systematic safety management and functions to prevent various disasters in advance." He added, "We will make further efforts to create a safe workplace without accidents for our employees and a safe site that provides trust and confidence to our customers."
