S-OIL Achieves 9 Million Safe Man-Hours Without Accidents

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] S-OIL announced on the 29th that it has achieved 9 million man-hours without any accidents, including not only shipping accidents but also physical incidents such as fires and explosions, by operating its plant stably for a total of 709 days since October 22, 2019. This is the longest accident-free record since the Ulsan plant began operations in 1980.

This achievement is evaluated to have been accomplished through the active participation of employees and partner company staff, based on the safety-first management philosophy of CEO Katani and the top management, as well as the optimal safety management system established at the S-OIL Ulsan plant.

CEO Hussein Al Katani stated in this year's New Year's address that "establishing a world-class safety culture" is a core company initiative, emphasizing the importance of internalizing safe behaviors so that they take root not only during company working hours but also in daily life.

S-OIL holds quarterly Safety Town-hall Meetings attended by the CEO and top management to discuss practical measures to ensure safety not only related to work within the company but also in home and daily life.

Additionally, S-OIL analyzes the causes of past accidents to prepare countermeasures to prevent even minor First Aid Injury (FAI) incidents requiring emergency treatment, and continuously strives to maintain a safety mindset through on-site safety inspections, employee safety interviews, and safety culture diagnostics.

Along with this, to promote autonomous safety management, all employees voluntarily participate in behavior-based safety programs to prevent accidents in advance, and on-site coaching activities through Safety Groups operated by each division are being further strengthened.
