According to GS Construction on the 9th, Woo Moo-hyun, Chief Safety Officer (CSO), visited the 'Jangwi Xi Radiant' (Jangwi 4 District Redevelopment) site located in Jangwi-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, on the 8th to conduct a safety and health inspection. He personally provided frozen treats to the on-site workers, checked the condition of their ice packs, and inspected the heat illness prevention management status. He also listened to suggestions regarding improvements to the working environment during the hot summer season.

To prevent heat-related illnesses during the hot season, GS Construction provides cooling products to all workers when a heatwave advisory is issued and manages breaks of 10 to 20 minutes every hour. When a heatwave warning is issued, outdoor work is suspended, and some indoor work is also stopped depending on the temperature. In particular, to comply with the three key management factors (water, shade, rest), GS Construction has set up rest areas for workers and provides ice machines and drinking water.

CSO Woo Moo-hyun has intensively inspected about 50 sites over the past two months and has conducted a total of 120 on-site safety and health management activities this year. He plans to continue on-site safety and health activities for the remainder of the year.

A GS Construction official said, "Our role is to manage the sites so that workers can work safely and comfortably even in hot weather," adding, "We will also thoroughly manage the health status of each worker regularly to prevent heat-related illnesses from occurring."
