[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Hanra announced on the 21st that it has significantly strengthened the organization in charge of safety management while declaring its 'Safety and Health' management policy.

Recently, Hanra established a Safety and Health Office directly under the CEO and appointed a safety management expert as the head in an organizational restructuring. The Safety and Health Office will serve as a control tower to inspect the safety and health goals and detailed implementation status at each site.

Along with this, Hanra also established a Safety and Health Management Committee composed of top executives including the CEO, CFO, and business division heads. The committee will function as an advisory body to discuss major policies such as evaluating the adequacy of personnel and operating budgets, advancing the safety management system, and building a safety and health culture.

The budget for the safety and health team was increased by about 38% compared to the previous year. Additionally, autonomous authority over budget execution was granted to establish a proactive risk prevention system.

Earlier this year, Hanra declared its safety and health management policy, which includes the commitment to "protect workers' safety while achieving ZERO serious accidents through an advanced safety and health management system."

Furthermore, monthly site inspections and巡回교육 (rotational training) activities are conducted with all executives attending. On the 15th, CEO Lee Seok-min visited the redevelopment site of Mokryeon Apartments in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, and held a 'Safety and Health Management Policy Declaration Ceremony and Human Rights Declaration Resolution Meeting' with representatives of partner companies and related executives. Joint labor-management inspections were conducted on major risk areas and hazardous processes, and a meeting was held to listen to the opinions of partner companies and on-site workers.

A Hanra official stated, "Going forward, we plan to conduct rigorous monthly inspections of safety and health implementation status at major sites nationwide, as well as the protection of workers' human rights and the fulfillment of their right to work safely."
