SGC Solution Obtains Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's 'Family-Friendly Company' Certification

SGC Solution, a specialist in manufacturing household glass, has obtained the 'Family-Friendly Company' certification selected by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. Group companies SGC Energy and SGC E-Tech Construction also simultaneously acquired the family-friendly company certification.

The family-friendly company certification is a system where the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family grants certification through evaluation to companies and institutions that exemplary operate family-friendly systems such as support for childbirth and childcare, flexible work systems, and fostering a family-friendly workplace culture to support workers' work-family balance.

SGC Solution passed document review, employee satisfaction surveys, and on-site inspections to be approved as a family-friendly certified company, recognized until the end of November 2024. SGC Solution aims to be a 'company with family' and operates various systems to support the work and life balance of its employees based on its commitment to family-friendly management.

They provide support funds for childbirth and childcare, designate every Wednesday as 'Family Love Day' to promote a culture of leaving work on time, and operate an early leave system on the third week of each month allowing employees to leave 30 minutes early. Additionally, they offer paid long-term leave for every 5 years of service, overseas travel support for one companion after 20 years of service, and operate family vacation facilities to provide travel and rest spaces where employees and their families can spend time together.

Moon Byung-do, CEO of SGC Solution, said, "As a household glass manufacturing specialist with over 50 years of history close to our daily lives, we have strived to improve the quality of life for both customers and our internal employees," adding, "We will continue to spare no effort in providing various support so that our employees can work happily and share joyful experiences with customers through positive influence."

Milwaukee Launches 'Safety Work Gear' Combining Performance and Convenience

With the recent enforcement of the Serious Accident Punishment Act, interest in safety accidents is higher than ever, and equipment that prevents accidents that can occur at construction sites is gaining new attention. Premium power tool brand Milwaukee recently launched the 'Milwaukee Safety Work Gear,' which prioritizes blocking falling object accidents whose destructive power increases with height, to protect site safety.

The 'Quick Connect Locking Safety Hook and Accessory Set' consists of a safety hook body and accessories that connect tools to the safety hook. It is designed so that tools attached to the safety hook absorb impact and fall slowly when dropped, and it has received standard approval from ANSI (American National Standards Institute)/ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association) 121-2018.

The hook part uses a carabiner with double locking to prevent tools from easily detaching from the safety hook. It also allows 360-degree rotation to help prevent tools and cords from twisting or tangling.

The 'Safety Glove Cut 3' absorbs the advantages of latex's excellent grip and polyurethane's breathability while compensating for their shortcomings. The nitrile material coated on the glove's palm maximizes grip, preventing power tools from slipping even when hands are oily.

A Milwaukee representative said, "Protecting safety on site is not only about oneself but also about taking responsibility for the safety of others working together," adding, "We hope that Milwaukee's meticulous safety work gear will help prevent accidents that could possibly occur."
