[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Sampyo Group, a construction basic materials specialist company, is actively working to establish a safety management culture and strengthen safety management.

On the 10th, Sampyo Group announced that it is conducting safety education for executives, including heads of each business division, Chief Safety Officer (CSO), production (construction), and related department executives, to enhance core competencies in safety management.

First, during the weekly safety meetings of division heads, the head of the Environment and Safety Headquarters serves as an instructor to conduct safety education. Additionally, external professional instructors are regularly invited to provide thematic safety education and occasional training on safety leadership for executives.

Sampyo Group also regularly holds the Environment and Safety Committee, which shares the status of safety activities by business division. This is to identify potential hazards at worksites in advance and continuously improve safety for employees and partner companies. Accordingly, active improvements are being made, including thorough reviews of improvement points at various business sites.

In the ready-mixed concrete division, an automatic sprinkling device was pilot-installed at the ready-mixed concrete plant to fundamentally eliminate the risk of falls during the cleaning process of residual concrete in mixer trucks. As a result, drivers can clean the residual concrete in the mixer truck hopper without climbing onto it.

The powder division has installed kiosks that indicate work cannot proceed unless workers wear safety protective gear, fostering a safe work culture. The mortar division installed LED lighting throughout the plant to prevent safety accidents during nighttime work.

The Yeongcheon branch plans to strengthen work safety by enabling repairs of internal equipment in drying facilities to be conducted externally without employees entering the machinery. Additionally, to prevent fall accidents during boarding and alighting of heavy equipment vehicles at each business site, gentle stair-type boarding platforms have been installed, continuously identifying and improving hazards at worksites.

A Sampyo Group official said, "We prioritize safety management as the highest value and continuously implement thorough safety management measures with the mindset that our own family members work here," adding, "We will strive to create an environment where all employees can work safely."

Meanwhile, in May, Sampyo Group appointed Chief Safety Officers (CSOs) for major affiliates and deployed environmental safety specialists to the field, continuing organizational restructuring and safety and health investments to create a safe working environment and strengthen independent and professional safety and health management.
