"Preventing Safety Accidents"…Samsung C&T Develops Equipment Hazard Removal Device R.E.D

Samsung C&T Construction Division announced on the 28th that it has developed the Risk Elimination Device R.E.D, which uses information and communication and sensor technologies to collect and analyze the operating time and location data of construction equipment in real time, removing unnecessary equipment on site and preventing safety accidents.

The R.E.D (hereinafter referred to as the Risk Elimination Device) monitors whether the equipment deployed at the construction site is operating and its location, then analyzes the collected data to prevent unnecessary equipment deployment and reduce waiting times for work.

It also provides real-time warnings to equipment operators and safety managers approaching hazardous areas to prevent accidents.

By adopting this technology, various equipment-related data such as site entry are automatically recognized, reducing unnecessary paperwork. Equipment usage reservation applications can also be made easily and quickly via mobile devices.

The device was developed by Samsung C&T’s DfS (Design for Safety) team and will be expanded to frequently used construction equipment on site such as table lifts, mobile cranes, and forklifts in the future.

Samsung C&T has fully implemented Design for Safety (DfS), which analyzes project risk factors from the design stage before construction to manage safety. The DfS team, composed of over 20 experts, designs safety throughout the project lifecycle including design, planning, construction, and operation.

Kim Jaehyun, Senior Manager and head of Samsung C&T’s DfS team, said, "Equipment accidents have a high potential to lead to major accidents, so removing unnecessary equipment is important from a safety assurance perspective. We will actively utilize the Risk Elimination Device going forward."
