[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] SRT operator SR announced on the 27th that it has expanded the number of safety instructors from 2 to 10 and awarded appointment certificates to the newly appointed safety instructors.

SR has been operating with 2 safety instructors in the Safety Headquarters to prevent major accidents and strengthen safety inspections, and this year expanded the number to a total of 10 experts in fields such as driving, vehicles, and facilities to realize "absolute safety."

SR safety instructors were selected by comprehensively reflecting safety capabilities and possession of related certifications, and plan to further enhance their expertise through railroad safety cyber education and commissioned training from specialized institutions such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The newly selected SR safety instructors will conduct on-site inspections at their respective locations and joint and in-depth inspections by field, and through safety consulting, they will identify potential risk factors existing in train operations, vehicle, and facility management, and establish safety measures.

They will also verify the implementation of safety measures in various caution areas and high-risk fields, assess the effectiveness of existing measures, listen to voices from the field through safety reporting systems, and directly eliminate risk factors.

In addition, SR plans to appoint 21 safety patrol members (tentative name) at each site to discover internal risk factors and conduct field-centered safety inspections together with the safety instructors.

SR expects that the expansion and strengthening of safety instructors will contribute to establishing a virtuous cycle safety management system?discovering risk factors → establishing safety measures → reflecting safety policies?and create a railroad company trusted by the public and employees.

Jongguk Lee, CEO of SR, emphasized, “We must continuously identify and eliminate potential risk factors on site to create a foundation where the public and employees can use and work safely.”
