This inspection, which took place the previous day, was organized to ensure the health and safety of construction workers during the summer heatwave season.

On this day, President Hwang checked the operation status of worker convenience facilities such as break rooms and health management rooms, as well as the implementation of the five key measures for preventing heat-related illnesses—water, shade, rest, cooling gear, and emergency response—which include running air conditioning units and providing ice and bottled water at the site.

In addition, a drill was conducted simulating the occurrence of a heat-related illness, and the real-time safety status at the site was monitored using the 'smart safety management system' that leverages artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things.

To encourage workers, SH also operated a coffee truck, providing cold beverages and souvenirs at the site.

Additionally, SH plans to extend safety management support to small and medium-sized construction sites with relatively limited financial resources (construction contracts valued at less than 30 billion won). The company will distribute smart temperature and humidity meters designed for heatwave prevention as well as smart airbags to prevent falls, aiming to proactively prevent accidents at these sites.

President Hwang emphasized, "During the summer heatwave period, managing the health of workers on site is of utmost importance," and urged, "Please ensure thorough adherence to heatwave safety guidelines so that everyone can work safely and in good health."
