The corporation has designated December 1 to 12 as the "Winter Intensive Safety Inspection Period" and is carrying out company-wide safety management enhancement activities involving both the management and external experts.

This inspection was organized to prevent cold-related illnesses due to the onset of severe cold weather and to proactively eliminate risk factors for accidents such as fires and explosions in aging rental apartments.

On this day, President Shin Changho checked the on-site emergency response posture at the management office, then personally visited elderly households living alone with the "Fire-Vulnerable Silver Generation Safety Guardians," a group composed of retired firefighters. He meticulously inspected potential fire hazards within the units and provided detailed guidance on how to use fire alarms and what to do in case of a fire.

He then visited a "green remodeling" construction site, where insulation and facility improvements are being made to reduce carbon emissions and improve living conditions in aging rental housing, and inspected the quality of window replacement and insulation reinforcement work. President Shin urged, "Please ensure thorough quality control in construction so that residents can stay warm and comfortable throughout the winter."

After the on-site inspection, he personally handed out winter supplies to outdoor workers to acknowledge their hard work. During the winter season, the corporation plans to support approximately 15,000 winter items such as earmuffs and hot packs at a total of 56 construction sites and management facilities, helping workers to work safely and warmly.

President Shin Changho stated, "Winter is a season when the risks of disasters such as cold waves and fires increase, so proactive prevention activities are more important than ever. Through on-site, management-led safety practices, we will do our utmost to create a safe environment for both workers and citizens."
