Pilot Operation of 'Safety Traffic Lights' at Public Institution Construction Sites... Expansion of CEO Safety Training

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyunjung] The government will pilot the 'Safety Traffic Light' system, which manages the safety status of construction sites at public institutions in real time, starting next year. Safety education targeting the CEOs of public institutions will also be expanded.

On the 16th, Ando-geol, the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, announced this at the 'Public Institution CEO Safety Innovation Leadership Education.' The Safety Traffic Light system assigns ratings such as 'Normal,' 'Caution,' and 'Warning' through surprise inspections of hazardous tasks at each construction phase and manages them differently. Tasks rated as 'Caution' are operated by appointing dedicated on-site managers, and tasks rated as 'Warning,' which have high risk, are immediately subject to improvement measures. The pilot operation next year will be conducted through Korea Expressway Corporation, and if its effectiveness is proven, the application will be expanded to other institutions.

Safety Innovation Leadership Education for public institution CEOs will also be expanded. This year, leadership education was conducted only for 33 institutions with low safety management ratings, but from next year, all institutions evaluated for safety management ratings will be required to complete the related education.

Vice Minister An said, "As a result of this year's education, the CEO safety awareness score improved significantly from 78.6 points to 94 points, confirming a positive educational effect," and added, "We will open additional CEO education courses within the year and reflect related improvements in next year's operational plan."
