Recently, as large accidents at construction sites continue to break out, construction companies are doing their best to enhance the safety systems on-site.

Ssangyong Engineering & Construction has increased its special inspection of major construction sites led by outside inspection institutions (Korea Safety Technology Research Institute) since 2009 to 50 sights, and plans to implement inspection 200 times every other month from March.

Also at domestic and foreign construction sites, preliminary inspection of danger and special training of new workers will be conducted at 9 am every morning, enhancing the “9 TO 5 system” which checks the result at 5 pm.
Singapore Marina Coastal Expressway and Downtown Line 921 won the first and second prize respectively at the Safety Construction Awards given by LTA (Singapore Land Transport Authority) last year for implementing the system, and is now in line to accomplish 10 million accident-free hours and 9 million hours, respectively.

GS Enginerring & Construction set its on-site safety management policy as “observance of basics and principles,” and introduced six essential safety measures, including the installation of a fall and collapse prevention system and the use of safety ropes, to all sites.

Daelim Group has recently co-hosted the convention of expelling industrial accidents with the Korea Development Corporation and Samho International, with 20 thousand concerned executives and workers of partner companies in attendance.

SK Engineering & Construction is enhancing the “ on-site 10 basic safety measures,” which is designed and based on the analysis of major accidents that took place over the last eight years from 2005 to last year. It includes prohibition of using cell phones while operating equipment, wearing two safety hooks when working on high, and so on.

Posco Engineering & Construction is planning to expand the “integrated safety control center,” which monitors on-site workers’ dangerous work situations using real time CCTV, to foreign sites by the end of this year.

The current director ,Jo, of Ssangyong Engineering & Construction said, ”recently when safety accidents occur at home and abroad, not only does a company’s image get tainted, but also a great damage is done to the business including tender restriction and deduction of the prequalification score.”
