Hanan Strengthens Emergency Operation System for COVID-19... "Minimizing Work Gaps"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Korea District Heating Corporation (KDHC) is strengthening countermeasures to overcome the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis and maintain a stable district heating supply system.

KDHC has established an emergency operation plan centered on the Emergency Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters to prepare for confirmed COVID-19 cases at its headquarters, aiming to minimize work disruptions.

In the case of the Daegu branch, where the highest number of COVID-19 cases occurred, enhanced response measures are being implemented, including the formation of a clean team for facility operation to deploy substitute personnel in case of infection, and alternating day telecommuting.

Additionally, to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 due to internal employee movement between regions, the regular personnel transfer date has been postponed to the 23rd.

A KDHC official stated, "To prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are further strengthening our own emergency operation system, and all employees will unite to focus their work capabilities on realizing a stable district heating supply."

Since the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, KDHC has been operating an emergency response headquarters and maintaining a 24-hour emergency system. Along with thorough disinfection activities centered on work sites, self-quarantine measures are being implemented for KDHC employees and partner company staff suspected of infection to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
