Sampyo Industrial announced on the 21st that it held a ‘Safety and Health Management Policy Declaration Ceremony’ to prevent safety accidents and create a healthy workplace. The event signified the establishment of a safety-first management policy and a commitment to focus on safety management.

To this end, the company declared a safety and health culture as a core value, emphasizing compliance with safety and health laws and agreements, adherence to safety and health education and safety principles, continuous identification of risk factors, and proactive preventive management activities.

In particular, all executives and employees will prioritize safety and health, and immediate action will be taken if unsafe behaviors such as non-compliance with principles occur on site. This is to deliver a strong warning message and prevent recurrence through disciplinary measures.

Various educational programs were also conducted to enhance the safety culture and raise safety awareness among all Sampyo Group employees. On the 19th, the ‘2023 Sampyo Group Affiliate Executive Safety Seminar’ was held at the Seoul Babieng2 Training Center, where in-depth discussions took place regarding the operation policy of a continuous risk assessment execution system. Professor Ham Byung-ho from Korea National University of Transportation, who attended the seminar, emphasized, “It is necessary to establish an autonomous management system by division, composed of safety and health leading indicators centered on the field and safety and health lagging indicators reflecting results.”

Earlier, Sampyo Industrial introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) video monitoring system to prevent traffic accidents involving ready-mix concrete mixer trucks at its Incheon mortar plant. The system will be expanded to all plants in the future. Additionally, the company plans to invest over 700 million won by next year to apply AI technology not only in the mortar and ready-mix concrete sectors but also in the aggregate sector.

Jong-seok Lee, CEO of Sampyo Industrial, stated, “We will do our best to create a zero-accident workplace and a happy work environment by conducting systematic risk assessments regularly across all business sites.”
