Hyundai Rotem held the resolution meeting for the first time to continuously achieve the goal of an accident-free workplace. CEO Lee and Union Head Park pledged the safety practice resolution as labor-management representatives. Both labor and management committed to doing their best to create an accident-free workplace without safety incidents.

As workplace safety and health issues have emerged as a key management agenda, Hyundai Rotem has established the HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) vision of "building a safe workplace that prioritizes people and the environment." To implement the HSE vision, four major goals were presented: ▲establishing an advanced safety culture ▲efficient risk management ▲establishing an HSE management system ▲strengthening internal safety and health capabilities.

At the workplace, to enhance employees' safety and health capabilities, a mobile safety reporting system has been introduced to proactively identify and eliminate risk factors. A safety evaluation system has also been implemented to improve safety management among partner companies and manage risks. A Hyundai Rotem official said, "As interest in safety is higher than ever, we will pursue people-centered safety management activities," adding, "We will do our best to create a safe workplace."
