KORAIL Holds Railway Safety Measures Meeting... Han Moonhee Vows to Prevent Industrial Accidents with Systems

"Establishing a Safety Management System
for All Workers Nationwide"

KORAIL is expanding its advanced technology-based safety management systems, including artificial intelligence (AI), in order to reduce industrial accidents at railway sites nationwide.

On August 5, KORAIL announced that it recently held a 'Railway Field Industrial Accident Prevention Measures Review Meeting' at its Daejeon headquarters, where it reviewed safety management measures in line with the government's policy to reduce serious accidents. The meeting was conducted via video conference, with more than 50 participants including President Han Moonhee, as well as heads of divisions for safety, rolling stock, facilities, electricity, and regional headquarters.

During the meeting, discussions were held on how to apply the government's ongoing reforms of industrial safety laws and systems, as well as serious accident reduction strategies, to railway sites. KORAIL is currently working to introduce several systems, including a 'work management system' that oversees the entire process of track work, and an 'industrial safety and health management system' for workers' health management.

In particular, KORAIL is piloting a 'risk prediction system' that uses AI video analysis to predict and warn of dangerous situations for shunting workers, with plans to expand this system across the entire railway network in the future.

Meanwhile, during the first half of the year, KORAIL inspected 16 mandatory items under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act at railway facilities, rolling stock maintenance, and construction sites adjacent to operating tracks at business locations nationwide. For items found lacking at subcontracted, consigned, or outsourced business sites, KORAIL plans to make improvements.

President Han Moonhee stated, "We will make safety our top priority and establish a safety management system for all workers at sites nationwide," adding, "We will focus our resources and capabilities so that proactive industrial accident prevention measures utilizing advanced technology can be implemented at railway sites across the country."
