Hyundai Glovis Provides Safety Equipment Support for Freight Transport Workers

A total of 15,000 units scheduled for distribution at nationwide cargo terminals and logistics centers

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Glovis announced on the 20th that it has produced and delivered safety kits for 15,000 people, including truck drivers and logistics center employees, to prevent accidents. First, the company visited logistics sites in Ulsan and Gongju, Chungnam, to deliver the kits in person, and plans to distribute them sequentially to cargo terminals and logistics centers nationwide via courier services.

On the previous day, Hyundai Glovis distributed 2,000 safety kits to large truck drivers and employees responsible for cargo collection at the Ulsan Cargo Terminal located in Buk-gu, Ulsan.

The kits consist of work safety goggles, fire evacuation handkerchiefs, anti-slip gloves, and drowsiness prevention patches. These items aim to prevent safety accidents at logistics sites and help truck drivers, who often experience fatigue due to frequent driving, avoid drowsy driving.

Additionally, the company delivered 2,000 more kits at the Jeongan Rest Area in Gongju, Chungnam. The Jeongan Rest Area serves about 30,000 visitors daily and is frequently used by truck and express bus drivers heading to the Honam region.

Furthermore, Hyundai Glovis plans to send safety kits usable by 11,000 people via courier by the end of this month. These kits will be distributed to users of 32 cargo terminals nationwide, employees of 8 logistics centers, Hyundai Glovis truck drivers, and partner company employees.

The free distribution of safety kits is part of Hyundai Glovis’s annual “Safety Sympathy Campaign,” launched in 2015 to promote serious accident prevention and safe driving as a leading logistics company in Korea. While the campaign initially focused on large truck drivers, since last year it has expanded to include other logistics workers to ensure safety at logistics sites.

In addition, Hyundai Glovis carries out various social contribution activities to ensure traffic safety. Last month, in collaboration with the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association, the company installed structures such as “Yellow Carpets” at crosswalks in front of elementary schools near its local business sites, including Paho Elementary and Jangseong Elementary in Daegu, and Majae and Geumdang Elementary Schools in Gwangju, to enhance children’s pedestrian safety.

Since 2017, Hyundai Glovis has also conducted annual social contribution activities to improve the environment of highway drowsiness rest areas. Recently, in cooperation with Korea Expressway Corporation and the Korea Safety Life Association, the company established a new rest area space at Beolgyo Drowsiness Rest Area (Yeongam direction) located in Boseong-gun, Jeonnam.

A Hyundai Glovis official stated, “We will continue to strive to fulfill our corporate social responsibilities and duties.”
