A DL E&C official stated, "As of the first half of this year, injury accidents have decreased by 40% compared to the same period last year," adding, "We are encouraging participation in Safety Sinmungo so that workers can foster a safety mindset of 'If it is not safe, do not work' and create a safe working environment on their own."

Introduced in 2021, Safety Sinmungo is an online-exclusive platform that can be easily accessed via QR codes attached throughout the site. Workers can request safety measures, including the right to stop work, report hazards, and propose various opinions to improve on-site safety.

In particular, this year, rewards for outstanding participating workers have been actively implemented, resulting in a total of 11,907 reports, including the right to stop work, received in the first half of the year alone. This is more than six times the number compared to the same period last year, with the number of reports increasing every month.

Actual accident occurrences have also significantly decreased. Especially, reports related to the right to stop work due to falls, unsecured work environments, and tipping hazards accounted for about 65%, and DL E&C reported that injuries related to falls, collisions, and entrapments in connection with these hazards have decreased by nearly half.

Gilpo Lee, Chief Safety Officer (CSO) of DL E&C, said, "As workers feel the actual improvement of the working environment through Safety Sinmungo, participation is increasing," and added, "The effect of accident reduction through the activation of Safety Sinmungo is clearly evident, and we plan to further strengthen incentives for participating workers.”
