LG Chem plans to enhance the safety management systems of its partners-including KS Compressor, Sunwoo Chemtech, Jiwootech, Buseunghwa Chemical, BUS Corporation, and Taehwa Industry-by providing customized equipment and offering education and training, thereby protecting the health and safety of workers.


In particular, manual processes are being replaced with automated equipment to improve both safety and operational efficiency, and wearable shoulder support devices are being provided to workers to reduce fatigue during tasks.


A representative from Buseunghwa Chemical, which received a portable wrapping machine, expressed, "Thanks to LG Chem's equipment support, our work efficiency has increased, the work environment has become much safer, and employee satisfaction has risen."


Additionally, LG Chem is also promoting a project to support Taehwa Industry in obtaining international explosion-proof (IECEx) certification. Through this, Taehwa Industry is expected to apply its specialized technical expertise more broadly to explosion-proof equipment and further secure the trust of its clients. IECEx is an international certification system that ensures the safety of electrical and electronic equipment and systems used in explosive environments.



Ko Yoonjoo, Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Strategy Officer (CSSO) of LG Chem, stated, "We are launching this initiative with a commitment to ensuring safety for both our partners and our company," adding, "Based on the values of co-prosperity and safety, we will further solidify our relationship of environmental safety trust with our partners."
