SK ecoplant announced on the 19th that it is conducting a campaign titled "Campaign for preventing falling accidents and promoting a safety culture at construction sites," which is attended by President Kim Hyung-geun and other executives, in accordance with the construction site accident prevention measures of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport throughout May.
This campaign is part of the preventive measures organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to reduce falling accidents, which account for more than half of the construction site fatalities in the past five years.
SK ecoplant is making various efforts to raise awareness of safety and to recognize and prevent risk factors in advance.
SK ecoplant has installed banners and placards for preventing falling accidents in high-risk work areas across all its construction sites in the country. Additionally, it conducts inspections regarding ▲fall risk factors ▲the status of safety facilities ▲the provision and use of personal protective equipment ▲other safety management items on-site and carries out Safety Moment training (fall accident prevention video training) during pre-task briefings for workers.
Furthermore, SK ecoplant has been conducting safety management and accident prevention activities at construction sites through its self-developed digital safety and health solution app "Safe" (Safety is Our Priority), which has been in operation since 2021. "Safe" supports a site safety and health management platform that includes ▲risk assessment ▲safety and health education ▲real-time safety inspections ▲site status checks ▲worker feedback solicitation ▲legal compliance notification system.

He also held a communication meeting with members to identify support needs on-site.
