Transitioning from Manual and Face-to-Face Safety Management
to a Data-Driven System

At the construction site of Cheonan I-Park City Complex 5 and 6 in Cheonan, Chungnam, workers check their health status and receive multilingual safety training via facial recognition and kiosks, instead of using paper documents. On May 20, IPARK Hyundai Development Company announced a comprehensive overhaul of its traditional face-to-face and handwritten safety and health management practices, transitioning to a digital, data-driven approach focused on worker convenience. After a pilot operation, the new system will be officially launched next month.

The non-contact biometric signal measurement kiosk installed at the site entrance automatically measures blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, and stress index when a worker stands in front of it. It also detects alcohol consumption. All measured data are recorded in real time. As the process where workers used to handwrite their names and affiliations on paper and attach measurement result stickers has been eliminated, the waiting time to enter the site has been significantly reduced.


The registration and training process for new workers has also been simplified using tablets. Once identity is verified through facial recognition, all procedures from health checks to electronic signatures are handled within the device. Paper pledges and personal information consent forms have been replaced by electronic documents. During safety training, eye-tracking technology is used to determine whether workers are focusing on the screen.


Language barriers for foreign workers have also been reduced. A tablet system supporting 14 languages, including Khmer, Vietnamese, and Mongolian, has been implemented. The display arranges language options in order of the countries most represented among registered foreign workers onsite. After training is completed, the screen automatically returns to the default setting so the next worker can immediately use it.


The training center interior is designed with pictograms that are intuitive regardless of language. The movement path from entrance to exit is clearly marked on the floor and walls, allowing workers to follow the required steps in order without guidance from staff.


Because worker information is linked as soon as they arrive at the site, health managers can focus on core safety management tasks rather than paperwork.


IPARK Hyundai Development Company has organically connected these various technologies, using the integrated safety training center for the two adjacent complexes as a hub.

An official from IPARK Hyundai Development Company stated, "Going forward, we plan to expand an AI-based safety management system across all sites, utilizing health and work data accumulated onsite. We will standardize the level of safety and health management, which previously depended on the experience and capabilities of individual staff, and extend a digital, DX-based one-stop worker management system to all sites."
