LGU+ Safety Experience Center Obtains Certification from Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] LG Uplus announced on the 17th that it has opened a safety experience training center reflecting the characteristics of the telecommunications industry and has obtained certification from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency for the first time in the industry.

The safety experience training center is located at the Daejeon R&D Center in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon Metropolitan City, with a total floor area of 352㎡. It consists of a total of 14 experience facilities, including 7 common types for all industries and 7 specialized types for the telecommunications industry, and is also equipped with a CPR room for cardiopulmonary resuscitation practice and a theoretical education room. In particular, the telecommunications industry specialized experience facilities reflect various hazardous situations that can be encountered in the actual telecommunications field, such as ▲telecommunication pole falls and toppling ▲ladder toppling ▲roof slipping ▲electric shock and use of voltage testers ▲overcurrent/lockout-tagout (LOTO) ▲confined spaces (manholes).

In the first year of the facility's opening, LG Uplus plans to prioritize training for its employees, partners, and sister companies upon request. The training courses are designed to provide customized safety experience education focusing on essential knowledge according to the roles of trainees such as supervisors and workers. Through this education, the company aims to reduce accident risks on site and create a safe working environment. Additionally, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among trainees during the safety experience training, measures such as disinfecting the training center, temperature checks, mandatory mask-wearing, and social distancing between trainees are strictly enforced.

Yang Mu-yeol, Head of NW HR/Support at LG Uplus, said, “By establishing a safety experience training center that reflects the characteristics of the telecommunications industry, we aim to prevent accidents that may occur at work sites and especially raise awareness of safety among telecommunications workers, which has been relatively neglected compared to other industries.” He added, “We will conduct thorough safety experience training so that workers can acquire essential knowledge about safety and health necessary for their work and develop the ability to respond appropriately.”
