[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] SK Incheon Petrochem announced on the 12th that it has received the highest grade, P grade, in the Process Safety Management (PSM) compliance evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. This marks the third consecutive time since obtaining the P grade in 2012 that the company has been rated at the highest level.

PSM (Process Safety Management) is a system managed by the Ministry of Employment and Labor to comprehensively oversee the physical and human safety of factories to prevent major industrial accidents, with regular evaluations conducted every four years. The P grade obtained by SK Incheon Petrochem is the highest level among the four evaluation grades (P, S, M+, M-).

SK Incheon Petrochem has prioritized SHE (Safety, Health, Environment) management as its top task and has continuously invested over 400 billion KRW in the safety, health, and environment sectors since 2006 to establish a safe and pleasant workplace.

Since last year, the company has established its own safety vision and safety principles and is promoting a roadmap to create a global-level safety management system and culture.

Additionally, SK Incheon Petrochem is accelerating the establishment of a 'Digital SHE Platform' that integrates the latest digital technologies with the company's safety and environmental management capabilities, including the commercialization of an electronic work permit system, the introduction of intelligent CCTV, and equipment inspections using drones and thermal imaging cameras.

A representative of SK Incheon Petrochem stated, "Our efforts to prioritize safety and build a zero-accident workplace have borne fruit with the acquisition of the P grade. We will continue to strive to secure a world-class safety management system."
