Lotte Construction Elevates Safety Organization Directly Under CEO... Strengthening Safety Management

On the 12th, Lotte Construction announced that it has significantly expanded and reorganized its safety organization, including elevating the 'Safety and Health Management Office' directly under the CEO to strengthen safety management capabilities.

In early December, the safety and health division was upgraded to the 'Safety and Health Management Office,' expanding the organization into three teams: Safety and Health Operations Team, Prevention Diagnosis Team, and Education and Training Team. Additionally, separate Safety Teams were newly established directly under the heads of each business division, including Architecture, Housing, Civil Engineering, and Plant.

Furthermore, the company operates the Safety and Health Executive Council, a decision-making body for safety and health, and the Safety Situation Room TFT.

The Safety and Health Operations Team is responsible for budgeting and executing safety-related expenses, allocating personnel related to safety and health, operating the safety and health management system, and collecting feedback from workers. The Prevention Diagnosis Team handles additional support decisions based on compliance inspection results and conducts status assessments. The Education and Training Team plans and implements training, establishes a safety and health culture, and cultivates safety management experts.

The newly established Safety Teams within each business division?Architecture, Housing, Civil Engineering, and Plant?manage on-site safety comprehensively under the direct supervision of the division heads. In addition, the company plans to strengthen safety management by expanding the existing on-site safety team personnel and responding to technical safety accidents and follow-up measures in accordance with the Construction Technology Management Act.

This council is expected to concentrate company-wide safety and health capabilities to enable swift safety decision-making and proactive responses.

We will continue to uphold safety as the top priority in corporate management and make every effort to ensure no negligence in safety management."

The center, equipped with 17 types of experience facilities and a VR experience zone, will be operated for executives, employees, workplace safety and health personnel, partners, and workers.
