Donation to Ulsan Social Welfare Council

Support for Gas Safety Facilities for Vulnerable Groups

The S-OIL Ulsan plant has stepped forward to support the prevention of gas accidents among vulnerable groups in the Ulsan area.

S-OIL Ulsan plant announced on May 18 that it recently held a ceremony to deliver support funds for gas safety facilities, with Cho Wansu, Head of Ulsan Headquarters at Korea Gas Safety Corporation; Lee Jonghyeop, Senior Executive Director at S-OIL; Oh Segeol, Chairman of Ulsan City Social Welfare Council; and Kim Daejung, Head of Supply Safety Division at Kyungdong City Gas, in attendance.

This project aims to strengthen the residential safety of vulnerable groups by replacing old apartment shared exhaust units and installing automatic gas shut-off devices.

S-OIL donated 35 million won for a project to replace shared exhaust units with individual exhaust units in old apartments in the Ulju-gun area. Shared exhaust units, which are used by multiple households together, have been identified as a safety risk due to the potential for accidents caused by exhaust gas backflow and damage to aged units.

Additionally, S-OIL will provide 15 million won to support the installation of automatic gas shut-off devices for about 50 vulnerable households. The automatic gas shut-off device is a system that automatically cuts off the gas supply in the event of a gas leak or other abnormal situation.

S-OIL plans to donate a total of 50 million won to the Ulsan City Social Welfare Council and promote the project in cooperation with Korea Gas Safety Corporation. Kyungdong City Gas will also participate in supporting the replacement of exhaust units and the installation of safety devices.

Lee Jonghyeop, Senior Executive Director at S-OIL, emphasized, "We hope this will help prevent gas accidents and create a safer residential environment for vulnerable groups in the region," adding, "We will continue our social contribution activities to enhance safety and welfare in the local community."
