[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Korea National Oil Corporation's Guri Oil Storage Facility has achieved a record of 30 consecutive years without industrial accidents since the start of the zero-accident movement in 1990.

On the 11th, the Oil Corporation announced that it had achieved 26 times the zero-accident goal with 18,200 consecutive days of zero industrial accidents.

The Guri Storage Facility of the Oil Corporation began the zero-accident movement on December 1, 1990, and operated the facility without a single industrial accident for 30 years until July 15 of this year, achieving the remarkable result of 26 times the zero-accident goal.

The secret to the Guri Storage Facility's 30-year accident-free record is attributed to establishing a strong on-site safety culture and operating a strict Process Safety Management (PSM) system. Additionally, the company has made company-wide efforts to build safety, health, and environmental management systems (KOSHA 18001, ISO 14001).

In fact, the Guri Storage Facility has prevented the possibility of safety accidents in advance by implementing thorough workplace safety programs such as regular pre-task briefings (TBT), hazard assessments, removing risk factors through safety inspections three times a month, and conducting regular disaster and crisis response drills.

Yoon Kwan-yong, head of the Guri Storage Facility, said, “Building on the 30-year zero-accident achievement at the Guri Storage Facility, the corporation will strictly comply with industrial safety regulations to create a safer workplace.”

Currently, the Guri Storage Facility has underground cavern facilities and aboveground storage tanks capable of storing approximately 3 million barrels of petroleum products.
