[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 12th that it conducted a special safety inspection for the winter season at the B3 block apartment construction site in Gam-il, Hanam, Gyeonggi Province on the 10th.

Inspection team members, including LH President Byun Changhoom, visited the site to check safety management measures for tower cranes. They also examined whether rapid heating devices such as heat blowers were being used instead of lignite stoves, which pose a high risk of worker suffocation during the curing process to prevent concrete freezing in winter.

They inspected the safety management status to prevent various major accidents and demonstrated the Internet of Things (IoT)-based 'Smart Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Video Monitoring System.'

The smart CCTV system allows a comprehensive view of the entire site from high places such as tower cranes. Managers can rotate and zoom the screen 360 degrees via smartphones to observe the progress of work in real time.

LH has been striving to reduce construction site accidents by establishing a Safety Planning Office responsible for safety-related tasks at headquarters and installing safety management teams at regional headquarters through organizational restructuring last year.

President Byun said, "I thank the construction personnel who have thoroughly managed safety at construction sites so far," adding, "Going forward, LH will prioritize safety as the highest value and protect the safety of on-site workers without any gaps to prevent safety accidents."
