The meeting was organized to discuss ways to cooperate, including sharing the importance of safety and health with partner companies and hearing about challenges and suggestions from worksites. A total of 23 partner companies representing various construction trades, including civil engineering, facilities, electrical work and plant construction, attended.

At the meeting, Kumho Construction President Cho Wonseok also presented awards to three partner companies recognized for setting an example in safety and health management.

“SAFETY ARTERA” is a program established by Kumho Construction to strengthen its partners’ safety and health capabilities and promote a sustainable culture of mutually beneficial cooperation. Kumho Construction is pursuing a range of activities, including regular seminars, professional training and technical support tailored to worksites, with a focus on councils for executives and working-level staff.

Lee Doohang, an instructor from Shinyoung Labor Law Firm, also gave a special lecture on “Cases of Work-Related Illness and Accident and Response Measures.” The lecture introduced major cases of work-related illnesses and accidents that can occur at construction sites, along with prevention and response measures.

At the meeting, Kumho Construction heard about safety and health challenges and suggestions from its partners’ worksites and exchanged views on various ways to make safety management more effective.

Last month, Kumho Construction also filed a patent application for technology used in a “smart safety monitoring system” that can identify hazardous areas at construction sites in real time.

A company official said, “Safety is the top priority at construction sites and a company’s most important competitive advantage. We will continue to strengthen our safety and health capabilities through close communication and mutually beneficial cooperation with our partners, and create safe construction sites where all workers can work with peace of mind.”
