The training is targeted at workers from small- and medium-sized construction sites in Gwacheon-si, Gunpo-si, and Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, all under the jurisdiction of the Anyang Branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Starting next month, Lotte Construction will conduct hands-on safety training for them at Safety ON. The program will offer practical safety content and short-form video materials.

Safety ON opened in February 2022 and covers an area of 1,160 square meters. It operates 14 types of safety management facilities and four types of health management facilities. The center also features an experience room equipped with virtual reality (VR) devices, allowing users to indirectly experience 33 types of on-site accidents.

As of last month, the cumulative number of people who have completed training at the center surpassed 12,800. Participants have included Lotte Construction employees, partner company personnel, and representatives from external organizations such as the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Recently, the center also received certification as a private safety experience training center from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency. In the second half of this year, training is scheduled to take place at the Korea Road Traffic Authority, Cheongpyeong High School, Korea Mobility High School, and other institutions.

A representative from Lotte Construction stated, "With this agreement as a starting point, we will take the lead in spreading a culture of safety and preventing industrial accidents."
