Sampyo Group has begun establishing a safety and health management system to enhance industrial safety management and crisis management capabilities in the event of accidents.
On the 25th, the construction materials specialist Sampyo Group held the '2025 Executive Safety Session' at the Babien2 Education Center in Seoul, announcing that it conducted customized training to raise safety awareness among all employees of its affiliates and improve working conditions.
Particularly, the focus was on increasing understanding of practical risk factor analysis and safety response measures related to seven institutional sectors, including main cement, ready-mixed concrete, aggregates, railroads, concrete, environmental resources, and construction materials.
In the cement institutional sector, emphasis was placed on 'a safety culture that workers protect themselves.' Discussions were held on mutual communication that encourages workers at the site to conduct risk assessments and create safety work standards themselves, taking responsibility for each other's safety.
The ready-mixed concrete institutional sector set its safety maturity goal from 'dependent' to 'independent' stages and established mid- to long-term goals. The activities of management safety observation (Visible Felt Leadership) led by safety managers will also be expanded.
The aggregates institutional sector clarified the 'pre-work safety inspection meeting' to strengthen the capabilities of its members. This involves creating customized videos to help easily recognize work methods and risk factors, confirming and discussing the work methods among each other. It aims to be used as a key means of preventing industrial accidents.
The railroad institutional sector established the operation of 'five points of safety inspection' and risk anticipation training. The key is to diagram inspection sheets to allow workers to easily check preventive measures against sparks and hydraulic oil leaks before starting work. Plans are also in place to implement and activate risk anticipation training to enhance the ability to identify risk factors.
The ready-mixed concrete institutional sector aims to objectify and quantify safety inspection items to analyze safety awareness levels and address weaknesses. By utilizing the checklist 'Eight Actions, Five Restrictions,' it is expected to predict risk factors through objective measurements at business sites, from material intake to production, maintenance, and shipment.
The environmental resources institutional sector conducts safety workshops focused on production workers (partners) to encourage interest in safety while promoting voluntary participation.
The construction materials institutional sector concentrates on enhancing its capabilities by conducting on-site inspections and supporting safety operations through the operation of safety monitoring teams.
As Sampyo Group is on the verge of introducing a safety system incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technology, the aim is to build customized monitoring systems at each factory to comprehensively analyze risk factors and safety conditions within the workplace, maximizing safety management.
A representative from Sampyo Group said, 'We are strengthening continuous risk assessment analysis of safety activities at industrial sites by institutional sector while making a gradual transition focused on qualitative improvements, and we will strive to establish a culture of autonomous safety practice through close communication with employees and thorough cross-checking.'
