[Asia Economy Reporter Han Yeju] LG Electronics is conducting direct inspection activities by the 16th to check for fire or safety hazards inside and outside partner companies' workplaces, supporting the prevention of fire and safety accidents at partner companies.

On the 6th, LG Electronics announced that it will carry out special inspections for winter fire and safety accident prevention targeting about 60 partner companies performing high fire-risk processes such as melting or molding metals in preparation for the winter season.

In particular, the inspection will focus on ▲ management and operational status of fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, and fire pumps ▲ overload and overcurrent checks of outlets and distribution boxes using thermal imaging cameras ▲ gas leak detection ▲ status of safety devices on production equipment.

Since 2015, LG Electronics has been conducting regular inspections twice a year on about 250 partner companies that have production processes or equipment with high fire and safety accident risks. Cases improved through regular inspections are shared with other partners in advance to ensure safety management.

Wang Cheolmin, Executive Vice President and Head of LG Electronics Global Operations Center, said, "We regard the safety of our partners as a major pillar of mutual growth and will actively support partners to prevent fire and safety accidents on their own."

Meanwhile, since last year, LG Electronics has been supporting partner companies to receive ESG inspections based on the RBA (Responsible Business Alliance) code of conduct, including safety, environment, labor, health, and ethics, from credible certification companies. Following 50 partner companies last year, 50 companies this year underwent ESG management capability assessments from UL (Underwriters Laboratories), a global certification company recognized by RBA. RBA is a nonprofit organization formed by about 170 global companies to practice social responsibility. It supports companies in establishing safe working environments, ensuring workers' dignity, and operating in an environmentally friendly and ethical manner.
