Did you see the watermelon meeting?


In response to the scorching heat, HJ Heavy Industries (CEO Sangchul Yoo) handed out watermelons to shipyard workers and partner company employees in celebration of Chobok, the first of the three hottest days of summer, promoting safety and health during the summer season.


On July 15, HJ Heavy Industries announced that it had delivered 300 watermelons to executives, employees, and partner company staff working at its Yeongdo Shipyard in Busan, and held a watermelon meeting with partner company representatives at the shipbuilding site.

On the day of the event, CEO Sangchul Yoo personally visited the site to distribute watermelons to employees, express appreciation for their hard work in the sweltering heat, and listen to feedback from the field. He also emphasized the importance of staying hydrated, taking precautions against heat waves, and strictly following safety rules to prevent heat-related illnesses.


Last year, HJ Heavy Industries also held a watermelon meeting with partner companies during the summer to listen to on-site concerns and continued its efforts to foster a field-oriented culture of mutual growth. This year, the company is also participating in Busan City's 'Busan Shipbuilding Industry Regional Coexistence Gap Mitigation Support Project' to help improve wages, welfare, and safety for partner companies. Throughout this summer, the company plans to install air conditioners and ice makers in partner company offices and provide cooling sets to support a safer working environment.



Sangchul Yoo, CEO of HJ Heavy Industries, said, "The health and safety of our members are our most important competitive strengths. I am grateful to all our employees and partner company staff who are doing their best in their respective positions, even during the extreme heat. I hope everyone always puts safety first and stays healthy at work."
