[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] With the enforcement of the “Serious Accident Punishment Act” scheduled for January 27 next year, increasing the burden on companies, LG Uplus is jointly developing an integrated safety platform applicable to workplaces subject to the Serious Accident Punishment Act together with Senko and others.

On the 14th, LG Uplus announced that it signed a business agreement to jointly promote a digital twin-based “Integrated Environment, Safety, and Health Platform” project with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency and Senko.

The Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency is a comprehensive safety consulting specialist organization, and Senko is the only domestic company possessing electrochemical gas sensor technology and digital twin technologies such as 3D modeling.

The integrated safety platform collects various data on processes, equipment, and safety at workplaces, visualizes them in 3D, and creates simulations to prevent worker safety accidents. In case of an accident, it helps respond immediately and minimize damage.

To help small and medium-sized enterprises and individual business owners comply with the safety and health obligations under the Serious Accident Punishment Act, related mandatory legal education, safety diagnosis, standard safety inspection manuals, and work rules are digitized and provided as a cloud-based automated management system. It also offers automation and database (DB) functions to minimize repetitive offline tasks.

Using various sensors, CCTV, and spatial 3D modeling, each workplace is also converted into a digital twin. A digital twin is a system that replicates reality in a digital space for specific purposes. While monitoring worker safety in real time, it immediately disseminates accident information within the company and enables emergency reporting according to pre-established automatic Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) when an accident is detected.

LG Uplus plans to offer the solution in a subscription model to reduce cost burdens for small and medium-sized enterprises and individual business owners, aiming to launch it in the second half of next year.
