S-OIL Achieves 8 Million Safe Man-Hours Without Accident for the First Time Since Establishment

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] S-OIL has achieved 8 million man-hours without accidents for the first time since the Ulsan plant began operations in 1980.

S-OIL announced on the 15th that it recorded 8 million man-hours without accidents on the 9th. This record means that for a total of 627 days since October 22, 2019, no personal injury accidents, as well as no property damage incidents such as fires or explosions, have occurred.

This achievement is evaluated as the result of a safety management system deeply rooted throughout the Ulsan plant, reflecting CEO Hussein Al-Qatani's firm commitment and goals regarding safety.

Since his appointment in 2019, CEO Al-Qatani has visited the plant monthly to directly inspect the safety conditions on site. The plant also strives to promote a safety culture through weekly joint site inspections (Safety Walk-Through) by executives and managers, as well as safety interviews by department.

In particular, S-OIL holds quarterly company-wide safety management committees attended by the CEO and top management, as well as Safety Town-hall Meetings to establish company-wide safety policies and share internal and external accident cases. These efforts aim to build a world-class safety culture. Additionally, through safety training tailored to job roles and ranks, continuous efforts are made to strengthen individual employees' safety capabilities and awareness.

Along with this, S-OIL operates a behavior-based safety program to identify and eliminate accident causes in advance. It has introduced the CARE (Case Analysis Risk Elimination) program, which discovers and intensively manages near-miss incidents that could lead to serious accidents through case studies, continuously strengthening the safety management system.
