The video explains hazardous situations using motion graphic animation. Foreign workers can understand safety rules even if they do not know Hangul. The 47 essential safety rules by work type are organized into five themes: common, carpentry, steel frame, rebar, and concrete. This video, which is about 10 minutes long, compares scenarios of accidents such as falls, entrapment, and suffocation when safety rules are followed versus when they are not.

DL E&C stated that the video is being used during site briefings, new worker training, and monthly regular training sessions. It has been translated into the languages of the top five countries employing foreign workers?China, Vietnam, Russia, Cambodia, Myanmar?as well as English to assist with safety education.

DL E&C expects that the multilingual safety education video will help improve foreign workers’ understanding of individual processes and their technical skills.

Park Sang-shin, CEO of DL E&C, said, "Safety guidelines that can be easily understood without language barriers are directly linked to the safety of foreign workers," adding, "We expect this safety education video to raise foreign workers’ safety awareness and help prevent accidents."
