On the 13th, SH Corporation announced that it held the ‘2023 Heavy Rain and Heatwave Preparedness Construction Site Drill and Safety & Integrity Campaign’ at the apartment construction sites managed by the corporation.

On this day, Kim Heon-dong, president of SH Corporation, along with safety experts, visited the apartment construction sites managed by SH Corporation and participated in drills to respond swiftly to emergency situations caused by heavy rain and heatwaves.

With the onset of the monsoon season, they inspected the safety management system for concentrated summer heavy rain, including ▲the status of flood control equipment and materials held on-site ▲the availability of flood control equipment boxes prepared for flood damage caused by heavy rain ▲and emergency treatment procedures.

At the same time, SH Corporation visited the Guryong Village site, a region frequently affected by flood damage, to inspect safety facilities prepared for heavy rain, such as drainage capacity and flood prevention facilities.

Additionally, to protect outdoor workers from the heatwaves expected after the monsoon season, SH Corporation provided cool scarves, coffee trucks, portable beds, and large fans. They also checked whether the three basic rules for preventing heat-related illnesses during summer?‘water, shade, and rest’?were thoroughly implemented at construction sites, including ▲shade shelters to avoid direct sunlight ▲coolers that continuously supply cold water ▲and portable beds that provide comfortable rest during breaks.

Kim Heon-dong, president of SH Corporation, stated, “There is a high possibility of emergency situations caused by heavy rain and heatwaves at construction sites during the summer, so we must pay closer attention to the health of on-site workers.” He added, “We ask all construction sites to strictly follow the safety rules for heavy rain and heatwaves and actively cooperate to prevent disasters.”
