HDC Hyundai Development Company announced on the 10th that it will establish a self-directed learning system to enhance the capabilities of safety and health managers.
HDC Hyundai Development Company aims to distribute newly developed safety 1,000 and health 500 workbooks on-site and to enhance safety management capabilities through self-directed learning. Starting this month, the company plans to implement an online learning system (NTEST) at the site, followed by a self-study period, and to conduct an online assessment for safety and health managers in October.
While the existing safety-related training methods focused on one-time sharing of accident cases through internal and external instructors and raising awareness, HDC Hyundai Development Company explained that the newly established learning system has the advantage of allowing individuals to autonomously engage with frequently asked questions about safety and health, thus continuously developing foundational skills.
This learning system can also be utilized as a means to assist newly hired employees in adapting quickly to the company and to effectively communicate the frequently changing safety standards (laws and guidelines). Additionally, through self-learning, it can enhance the effectiveness of education, fostering a number of safety managers who possess capabilities above the standard.
HDC Hyundai Development Company aims to continuously enhance the capabilities of safety and health managers through self-testing and annual evaluations, while planning to consistently reflect updated laws and guidelines, enabling continuous learning of the latest information.
An official from HDC Hyundai Development Company noted, “As the importance of safety increases day by day, learning through self-directed study will allow for the incorporation of updated guidelines and information, enhancing capabilities and setting a good precedent for establishing safety management systems.” They added, “Through this system, we can raise the proportion of safety and health managers with above-average capabilities, which could lead to an overall improvement in safety awareness across the industry.”
