On the 13th, Yeongpung Seokpo Smelter jointly held the 'June Safety Inspection Day' event at the main gates of Smelter Plant 1 and Plant 2 in collaboration with the Korea Industrial Safety Association.

About 30 participants, including members of the Korea Industrial Safety Association, smelter executives and employees, and partner company staff, took part in the event organized to establish a safety culture and improve safety and health culture.

From 6:30 a.m. for about two hours, participants conducted a campaign at the main gates of Smelter Plant 1 and Plant 2 targeting smelter and partner company employees arriving for work and shift changes, emphasizing 'work safety practices' such as wearing safety protective gear.

As the summer season officially begins with heatwave warnings issued in some parts of Yeongnam recently, and with forecasts predicting hotter summer weather than usual this year, encouragement items such as ion drinks and wet wipes were distributed along with a 'Heat Illness Prevention Guide' to employees, urging caution against heat-related illnesses.

In addition, to prevent various safety accidents that may occur when workers operate while still suffering from hangovers due to drinking the previous day, random alcohol tests were conducted, and safety gear such as helmets was checked when using motorcycles, bicycles, and kickboards within the workplace.

Earlier in March this year, Yeongpung Seokpo Smelter established a 'Special Management Plan to Eradicate Industrial Accidents and Fatalities' under the guidance of the Daegu Employment and Labor Office, and has been strengthening on-site safety and health management by significantly enhancing safety management systems, budgets, and organization.

On the 11th, the smelter manager led a site inspection and TBM (Toolbox Meeting) guidance with the participation of the production headquarters head, management headquarters head, environment and safety officers and team leaders, and related partner company heads, continuously practicing efforts to prevent safety accidents and raise safety awareness.

A Yeongpung Seokpo Smelter official stated, “We will continue to make every effort, including implementing various safety and health management programs and campaigns, to become a safe workplace where all smelter and partner company employees can work with peace of mind.”
