[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Hyundai Elevator has decided to reduce the accident rate by 72% compared to last year.

On the 22nd, Hyundai Elevator held a 'Safety Management Resolution Meeting' at its headquarters in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, attended by about 330 employees and partner company representatives.

At this resolution meeting, Hyundai Elevator committed to reducing the accident rate by 72% compared to the previous year. To achieve this, the company expanded the accident rate reduction ratio in the key performance indicators (KPIs) of all business divisions, headquarters, and responsible managers as part of strengthening safety leadership. Additionally, a zero-tolerance policy will be applied to management organizations in cases of non-compliance with safety rules or occurrence of serious accidents.

Furthermore, activities to identify near-miss accidents and potential risks at installation, service, and manufacturing sites have been set at 456 cases, 2.3 times more than last year, to strengthen the accident prevention system and expand on-site inspection activities.

Safety education will also be significantly increased. The related training hours, which were about 116,000 hours last year, will be expanded to about 167,000 hours this year. The company will also promote strengthening education for junior technicians and introduce a professional counseling program for employee stress management.

Song Seung-bok, CEO of Hyundai Elevator, stated, "We will create an environment where all employees can leave work healthier than when they arrived by achieving zero fatal accidents and an accident rate of 0.08%."
