Starting with this site inspection, Vice Chairman Park and the management plan to designate twice a month as ‘Safety Communication Day’ to personally visit sites, check safety, and facilitate communication between the field and headquarters.

Additionally, this year, they plan to strengthen the safety and health monitoring system by introducing additional mobile CCTVs at the sites to manage blind spots from the Safety Situation Center.

Since its opening in October last year, the Safety Situation Center has prevented a total of 179 accidents by December. Dedicated personnel are stationed on-site to conduct real-time intensive monitoring, immediately halting work sections via hotline when risks arise, and improving and reflecting policies based on periodic monitoring result analyses.

Moreover, to implement more meticulous safety management, Lotte Construction has upgraded its safety organization from the Safety and Health Management Office to the Safety and Health Management Headquarters, strengthened safety and health systems by improving partner company safety training, and revising subcontract bidding systems.

Vice Chairman Park said, “We must focus the company’s full capabilities on establishing a new safety awareness and safety culture,” adding, “We will strictly adhere to principles to create a healthy work environment on-site, strengthen field technical personnel, and further advance the site monitoring system.”
