Seoul Facilities Corporation Produces and Distributes Video on 'Safe Signalman Operation'

"Focused on Meticulous Construction Site Management"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Seoul Facilities Corporation announced on the 6th that it will produce and distribute a ‘Construction Site Signalman Action Guidelines Video and Manual’ to prevent serious accidents at urban construction sites.

At urban construction sites, signalmen are assigned to protect the safety of nearby pedestrians and workers when heavy equipment is moving or operating. However, if the importance of the signalman’s duties is overlooked and proper action guidelines are not followed, various accidents may occur.

Accordingly, the corporation created this video to help construction site personnel easily understand the appropriate signalman action guidelines and apply them during the construction process.

The video shows actual accident cases related to signalmen at construction sites and various situations where accidents could potentially occur. Specifically, it introduces five key signalman action guidelines: ‘Pre-work inspection items,’ ‘Equipment and ground condition checks,’ ‘Ensuring signalman safety,’ ‘Controlling the work radius,’ and ‘Other safety management measures.’

The video can be viewed on the Seoul Facilities Corporation’s YouTube channel. Additionally, the corporation has produced a ‘Signalman Safety Management Manual’ containing more detailed information such as signalman terminology and related laws, which has been made available on its website.

Seoul Facilities Corporation Director Young Han Kim stated, “Although signalmen are key workers for construction site safety, their importance is often overlooked in operations,” and added, “Along with producing this video, Seoul Facilities Corporation will continue to maintain meticulous management to ensure safe construction sites.”
