Korea Elevator Safety Corporation and Hyundai Elevator Join Hands to Prevent Major Elevator Accidents

Strengthening Safety Management at Small Installation Sites... Launch Ceremony Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Korea Elevator Safety Agency announced on the 15th that it held a 'Collaborative Project for Preventing Major Elevator Accidents' launch ceremony together with Hyundai Elevator to prevent safety accidents at installation sites.

The launch ceremony held at the elevator installation sites of the Agency's Gyeonggi-Gangwon Regional Headquarters and Suwon area was attended by Lee Chang-yong, head of the Gyeonggi-Gangwon Regional Headquarters, six branch managers from the Gyeonggi area, and Hyundai Elevator's Executive Director in charge of installation, Choi Yong-hee, among other officials, who agreed to cooperate mutually to prevent major accidents at elevator installation sites.

The Agency's Gyeonggi-Gangwon Regional Headquarters and Hyundai Elevator will carry out a collaborative project to prevent major accidents by conducting safety management activity inspections, interviews with installation workers, and on-site safety inspections at 72 small-scale installation sites with three or fewer elevators by the end of this year, followed by the installation of banners provided by Hyundai Elevator.

Lee Chang-yong, head of the Gyeonggi-Gangwon Regional Headquarters, said, "Most safety accidents at elevator installation sites lead to serious injuries or fatalities, resulting in major accidents. In particular, small-scale elevator installation sites with three or fewer units have relatively weak safety management. Through this collaborative project, we plan to strengthen on-site safety management and make every effort to prevent major accidents from occurring."
