"Zero Accidents" ... Korea South-East Power Launches Full-Scale "Safety-First Management" in July

Spreading a Participatory Safety Culture Among All Workers

Korea South-East Power has officially begun to put its "Safety-First Management" into action by reforming on-site safety awareness and spreading a culture of voluntary safety.

Throughout July, Korea South-East Power is designating the month as "Safety Awareness Improvement Emphasis Month," targeting all executives and employees, including those of partner firms.

This emphasis month was initiated based on the understanding that, due to the power generation industry's nature—featuring a wide variety of equipment and high-risk tasks—the establishment of a voluntary safety culture among all members is crucial for preventing industrial accidents.

In particular, the company is not resting on its laurels after achieving the highest grade in the "Safety Activity Level Assessment" during the first half of the year. Instead, it has launched this initiative to fundamentally transform workers' safety awareness and attitudes, under the conviction that "real safety is ultimately achieved in the field."

During the emphasis month, Korea South-East Power will implement a variety of programs focused on education, participation, and communication. Key activities include: soliciting "Safety Awareness Improvement Ideas," providing field-customized safety improvement training, emotional safety education, on-site safety communication campaigns, and worker safety resolution rallies. These are designed to encourage voluntary safety practices among all members.

Cho Younghyuk, Acting President of Korea South-East Power, stated, "Safety begins not only with systems and facilities, but also with the careful attention and proactive actions of all members. We will continue to expand participatory safety culture activities, establish a voluntary safety culture together with our partner companies, and make every effort to achieve zero workplace accidents on-site."

Korea South-East Power hopes that July will be a month free of accidents, allowing employees to work with peace of mind.
