HDC Hyundai Development Company Launches Special Safety Inspections to Prepare for Winter Cold Wave

On the 4th, HDC Hyundai Development Company conducted a special on-site safety inspection led directly by CEO Kim Hoe-eon and CSO Jeong Ik-hee to prepare for the winter cold wave and to prevent safety and fire accidents.

Kim Hoeon, CEO of HDC Hyundai Development Company, visited the Seongnam Industrial Complex Regeneration Complex Knowledge Industry Center site and led a special safety inspection to prevent fire and suffocation in preparation for the winter season.

In December, marking the start of the winter season, HDC Hyundai Development Company’s management inspected whether fire detectors and extinguishing equipment were properly installed according to standards at sites such as Seongnam Industrial Complex Regeneration Complex Knowledge Industry Center, Imun I-Park Xi, and Anseong Gayu District Logistics Center. They also focused on checking measuring equipment and work procedures to prevent safety accidents including suffocation incidents.

CEO Kim Hoe-eon visited the Seongnam Industrial Complex Regeneration Complex Knowledge Industry Center site to inspect the status of confined space management, which is the most critical issue to be managed during winter. The inspection focused on whether work plans for hazardous confined spaces were established, whether risk assessments were prepared, and whether oxygen concentration was measured. During the inspection, CEO Kim emphasized the importance of pre-management of confined spaces, stating, “Among winter disasters, suffocation accidents are preventable if pre-inspections are properly conducted.”

On the same day, CSO Jeong Ik-hee inspected the Imun I-Park Xi site and stressed the importance of regular emergency evacuation drills, saying, “Fire is a disaster that can occur at any time, and all workers must be trained to respond immediately to fires.”

In addition, HDC Hyundai Development Company is leading the creation of a self-disciplined prevention culture where labor and management participate and practice by internalizing three major preventive activities as part of company-wide safety and health efforts: establishing work plans for all occupations, conducting risk assessments involving labor and management, and holding daily safety meetings.

Meanwhile, HDC Hyundai Development Company is focusing not only on winter safety management but also on everyday safety management. In particular, to eliminate blind spots in safety management, they are applying DX (digital transformation) in on-site safety management to enhance accident prevention and work efficiency. Since June last year, they have installed a CCTV integrated control center and minimized safety management blind spots by deploying fixed and mobile CCTVs in high-risk work areas to monitor risk factors.

They are also actively utilizing smart safety equipment. For construction equipment with a high risk of accidents such as forklifts and excavators, they have mandated the installation of intelligent video detection cameras that recognize only people and 360-degree around-view cameras to prevent collision and entrapment accidents. They are also promoting the mandatory installation of intelligent video surveillance cameras on all equipment and vehicles entering the site, such as dump trucks and ready-mix concrete trucks.
