DL E&C Opens Safety Experience School... Accelerates ESG Management

Expanded to a 2-story building within Daedeok Research Institute and opened
Enhanced educational facilities and content for fall accident prevention

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] DL E&C (formerly Daelim Industrial) announced on the 18th that it has opened a Safety Experience School within the DL Daedeok Research Center located in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. The Safety Experience School, previously located in Yongin, has been relocated with an expanded scale and new educational facilities and content added. DL E&C, accelerating its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, plans to create a workplace where accidents never occur through the operation of the Safety Experience School and various safety innovation activities.

The Safety Experience School is a two-story building with a total floor area of 1,684㎡, expanded by more than 40% compared to the previous facility. It consists of a total of 21 types of educational and experiential facilities. Various temporary structures and facilities actually used at construction sites, including heavy construction equipment, have been prepared. Equipment and content that allow virtual reality (VR) experiences of the five major high-risk construction tasks?working at heights, lifting (lifting heavy objects with equipment), excavation, electrical work, and fire-related tasks?are also provided. Additionally, programs introducing smart safety systems incorporating the Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as the latest Internet of Things (IoT), drones, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and wearable devices have been established.

DL E&C has strengthened education to prevent fall and overturn accidents. About half of the fatal accidents at construction sites are due to falls. Accordingly, a high-place work platform used on-site has been installed at the Safety Experience School so that trainees can learn pre-operation checks and safe operation methods through hands-on experience. Furthermore, education on a system scaffold that allows prior installation of upper safety railings from the lower platform, which is effective in preventing fall accidents, has been added. Trainees can learn the correct installation and safety inspection methods.

Since 2019, DL E&C has conducted safety education 110 times for 2,785 people. This year, it plans to expand the target audience to include not only employees but also workers from partner companies, students, and the local community, providing experiential education. In addition, it plans to expand the application of safety accident prevention technologies using big data, smart safety technologies, and equipment. DL E&C aims to accelerate company-wide ESG management by taking the first step in safety innovation management that contributes to preventing safety accidents among employees, partner companies, and the local community.
