SK Shieldus Strengthens Safety Management from Recruitment to Field Operations

Step-by-Step Safety Management from Recruitment to Training

SK Shieldus said on November 5 that it is strengthening safety management throughout the entire process, from recruitment and training to actual work sites, based on the belief that the safety of its field personnel is the starting point for customer safety.

First, security responders responsible for field work have their driving skills verified from the recruitment stage to ensure they can perform their duties. Applicants for entry-level positions undergo a comprehensive assessment of their ability to drive and park vehicles and operate them. The company checks the basic skills needed at response sites before work begins and follows up with safety training tailored to each role after hiring. About 400 people took the assessment this year.

After joining the company, employees receive hands-on safety training tailored to their roles so they can identify potential hazards in actual work environments in advance and respond to them. SK Shieldus provides specialized motorcycle safety training in partnership with a professional training institution for security responders who use motorcycles and have been with the company for less than one year.

The training covers practical aspects of riding, including basic safe-driving principles, vehicle inspections, proper riding posture, braking, and obstacle avoidance. In addition to classroom instruction, it includes hands-on exercises to prepare employees for real-world riding situations, including trying out the operating principles and protective effects of the airbag vests distributed to security responders at branches nationwide in the first half of this year.

Alongside hands-on training using actual equipment and vehicles, SK Shieldus is also expanding experiential safety training using digital technologies such as virtual reality (VR). The company has developed VR content depicting situations closely related to employees' actual work, including following safety rules, using protective equipment, and responding to hazards at work sites. This allows employees to experience a variety of dangerous situations in a virtual environment and learn how to respond.

Shin Woo-cheol, Chief Safety and Health Officer (CSPO) at SK Shieldus, said, "The safety of our field personnel is the starting point for delivering stable service quality and earning customer trust. We will establish safety as a core value that all employees put into practice together, and continue to foster a culture in which employees themselves practice safety in their daily work by reflecting the voices of those in the field."
