LH Strengthens Safety Checks for Overseas Employees Amid COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] LH announced on the 14th that it conducted an emergency inspection of the safety and local conditions of overseas employees working in countries affected by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) through a video conference.

LH President Byun Chang-hoom, through a video conference held the previous day, listened to the safety concerns of overseas employees and their families, as well as local conditions and difficulties or suggestions, and promised active support. After establishing the Global Business Headquarters dedicated to overseas projects at the end of last year, LH has dispatched 22 employees to seven countries including Vietnam, India, Paraguay, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Kuwait, and Myanmar.

Since last year, LH has introduced an 'emergency medical service' to prepare for various situations that may occur to overseas employees, creating a foundation for prompt local medical support in case of emergencies.

After the outbreak of COVID-19, LH established a systematic response system including living support such as sending hygiene products and emergency relief supplies, as well as measures to take immediate action if safety is threatened.

President Byun said, “As COVID-19 spreads, the safety of employees working overseas must be the top priority,” and added, “We will overcome the COVID-19 crisis together with local countries and expand opportunities for companies to enter overseas markets through continuous global business promotion.”
