At the VR experience room of the safety experience center, a Lotte Construction employee is experiencing the site situation.

On the 14th, Lotte Construction announced on the 13th that it will open a safety experience center called 'Safety On' at the Lotte Human Resources Development Institute Osan Campus located in Busandong, Osan-si, Gyeonggi-do.

The center was established to allow employees to directly experience safety accident situations, recognize potential hazards that may occur on site, and improve their response capabilities to prevent serious accidents.

The safety experience center operates a total of 14 experiential facilities, including 10 safety management experience facilities such as 'crane and ladder tipping experience, opening and safety belt fall experience, fire outbreak and fire extinguisher usage practice,' related to disasters such as falls, fires, overturns, suffocation, and electric shocks that may occur on site, as well as 4 health management experience facilities such as 'first aid and musculoskeletal disorder prevention.'

In addition, a VR experience room is operated where 13 disaster situations that may occur on site can be directly experienced through VR (virtual reality) devices.

The experience center covers approximately 1,164㎡ and was opened after a pilot operation for about a month in January targeting safety and health managers. The education targets of the experience center include Lotte Construction employees as well as partner company staff and workers.

The safety experience training is scheduled to be conducted by professional instructors over 7 hours, and a separate certificate of completion will be issued to trainees who complete all the experience facility courses.

A Lotte Construction official said, "We hope that employees who have completed the safety experience will focus on accident prevention activities and take this opportunity to raise awareness of safety, the top priority value, once again," adding, "We will work to foster safety awareness not only among employees but also among partner company staff and workers, establishing ourselves as a company leading safety culture."

Meanwhile, in December last year, Lotte Construction upgraded its safety organization directly under the CEO to the Safety and Health Management Office, expanded the organization into three teams, and separately established safety teams directly under the heads of each business division, including architecture, housing, civil engineering, and plant.
