Korea Western Power Launches 100-Day "Zero Serious Accidents" Safety Campaign

Company-wide Safety Enhancement Until Year-End
Focusing on Nine Key Initiatives with Partner Companies

Korea Western Power has launched a company-wide safety enhancement initiative ahead of the year-end period, which is known to be vulnerable to industrial accidents.

On September 23, Korea Western Power held a proclamation ceremony for the "Zero Major Accidents! Safe Workplace D-100 Campaign" at its headquarters in Taean, South Chungcheong Province, marking the start of 100 days of safety activities. All business sites-including the Taean, Pyeongtaek, Seoincheon, Gunsan, and Gimpo power generation headquarters, as well as the Gumi and Gongju construction headquarters-participated in the event via video conference. The ceremony included a speech from the CEO, a report on the campaign plan, presentations of safety measures by each business site, and a safety pledge performance.

This campaign is a regular initiative that has been ongoing since 2021 to prevent accidents during the fall and winter seasons. This year’s slogan is “Back to Safety Basics! Turning Crisis into Opportunity!” and the campaign will run for 100 days from today until the end of the year.

During this period, Korea Western Power will work together with its partner companies to implement nine detailed tasks focused on three main activities: preventing and managing accident recurrence, strengthening risk assessment, and promoting supervisor-led and worker-participatory safety efforts. In particular, the company has identified the discovery and improvement of blind spots in safety controls, intensive management of high-risk work, and fostering a culture of shared safety with partner companies as core tasks to be managed intensively.

Additionally, outstanding business sites will be awarded during the campaign, and all employees will wear safety badges to encourage a culture of safety in daily work.

Lee Jeongbok, CEO of Korea Western Power, stated, “Safety is not a choice but a matter of survival and a critical issue directly linked to the existence of the company. With renewed determination, we will achieve the eradication of major accidents and the spread of a safety culture.”
