HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Focused Management on 9 Absolute Non-Accidents Including Falls

[Financial News] HD Hyundai Heavy Industries announced on the 30th that it will fully implement the new safety and health management system 'The Safe Care' from August 18. 'The Safe Care' is a system that designates 9 key risk factors such as △fall △entrapment △electric shock △suffocation △fire, based on the analysis of major accident cases in the shipbuilding industry by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, as 'absolute non-accidents' and focuses the company's capabilities on managing them. This is a proactive measure that aligns with the '12 Key Safety Rules' recently announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor to reduce fatal accidents. The goal is to solve the chronic safety issues in the shipbuilding industry and fundamentally block major accidents.
The current system, which contains the will to fundamentally block the possibility of accidents in advance, is evaluated as a concrete measure to implement HD Hyundai Heavy Industries' safety philosophy.
Strong execution based on the 'zero tolerance principle'. If the safety rules related to 'absolute non-accidents' are violated, strict measures equivalent to major accidents are immediately taken, even if no actual accident occurs. The organization where the violation is found will receive an immediate work stoppage order for the same task, and must establish and implement a comprehensive improvement plan for safety culture enhancement to resume work.
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries plans to completely establish the principle of 'what is set for safety must be followed' as a field culture by protecting workers' lives and safety as the top priority through such strong measures.
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries will also conduct safety technology guidance for group companies and partners and establish a focused management model for high-risk groups. The 'The Safe Care' system will be developed into a role model that presents safety management standards across the shipbuilding industry. ggg@fnnews.com Kang Gu-gwi Reporter
