On the 18th, Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation (GH) held the 'Safety Mind Day' event to lead safety innovation at construction sites and to spread a field-centered autonomous safety culture.


The event, held at the Incheon Safety Experience Education Center, was attended by employees and on-site stakeholders. It was divided into a morning safety and health seminar and an afternoon safety experience training session.


During the safety and health seminar, participants agreed to shift the role of workers from “objects of protection” to “agents of prevention,” and to establish a self-discipline prevention system to strengthen autonomous inspections. They also reaffirmed their commitment to concentrate all efforts on preventing industrial accidents as pioneers in construction site safety management.

In the subsequent safety experience training, participants used the program to directly experience hazardous situations related to the five major types of serious accidents, such as falls, being caught, and collisions, thereby heightening awareness of safety accidents.


In particular, moving away from traditional lecture-based delivery, the 4D virtual safety and virtual reality (VR) experiences that recreated actual work environments received a positive response from the participants.



Kim Yong-jin, President of GH, stated, "Worker safety at industrial sites is our top priority," adding, "Through today's event, I hope we can once again reflect on the importance of safety and that this will serve as an opportunity for a robust safety and health culture to take root at all GH construction sites."
