On the 4th, GS Engineering & Construction announced that it held a 'Safety Inspection Day' event at all domestic sites, attended by a total of 115 executives from all business divisions, including CEO Heo.

On that day, CEO Heo visited the Sillim~Bongcheon Tunnel Road Construction Project Section 2 site, which GS Engineering & Construction is currently constructing, touring the ventilation station located in Guro-dong, as well as the starting and ending points of the Sadang-dong tunnel, listening to the progress of construction, major issues, and difficulties faced on site.

The Safety Inspection Day event was held with the purpose of fostering a culture that values safety and quality and improving safety and quality through specialized support in various fields for major issues occurring on site.

Starting with this event, GS Engineering & Construction has designated the first week of every month as 'Safety Inspection Day' to inspect sites. Executives from the performing and supporting organizations form teams to directly visit sites constructed by other business divisions. If necessary, specialized support by field will also be provided.
