Major System

System for Preemptive Control of Unsafe Action

POSCO E&C has been conducting the “system for preemptive control of unsafe action” since July 1, 2020. This is to prevent serious accidents by preemptively controlling three major types of accidents—falling, dropping, and collision—and block the risks of accidents in advance through expanding the participation of subcontractor in safety activities.

POSCO E&C has selected eight detailed items for the three types of accidents for a concentrated management. If any action is violated, immediate supplement and education are provided and the case is registered in our system for further monitoring. We have divided six steps of measures for subcontractor according to how many times they have improved the violation and take measures accordingly. As such, POSCO E&C is making an environment where all managers in the field can take part in the system and workers can work safely.

Relevant Items for System for Preemptive Control of Unsafe Action

Installation of CCTV Without Blind Spots

POSCO E&C is working hard to establish countermeasures to prevent recurrence of safety accidents by strengthening safety management in on-site blind areas and identifying their causes.

Since 2012, we have been supporting the monitoring of on-site safety in real time using on-site CCTV for the first time in the construction industry in Korea. As a result of our ongoing efforts in conjunction with social distancing due to COVID-19, CCTVs have been installed at every necessary spots and managed in real time to prevent blind spots from occurring at all sites. In particular, moving cameras have been established for high-risk works. In addition, by distributing portable bodycams to individual field workers and encouraging them to use them, we are creating an atmosphere in which on-site safety activities can be prioritized.

Support for the Establishment of an Autonomous Safety System for Subcontractor.

POSCO E&C supports the establishment of an autonomous safety system so that subcontractor can secure "self-contained safety management capabilities."

The safety mind enhancement education, which was conducted for subcontractor at the early stage of construction and disaster-causing subcontractor, now involves the "Education Certification System for subcontractor." Only managers who completed the training are allowed to access to the field, contributing to the improvement of the level of supervisors.

Safety is an important value that both POSCO E&C and its subcontractor must uphold. POSCO E&C will continue supporting subcontractor to build their autonomous safety systems and put the value of safety first together.

Safety Suggestion System Participated by All Executives and Staff Members

POSCO E&C is operating the “safety suggestion system” where novel ideas of executives and staff members can be discovered and applied in preventing safety accidents in the construction fields.

Any ideas that are helpful for preventing safety accidents can be suggested, including those on raising safety awareness, design improvement, and safety facility improvement. POSCO E&C is encouraging employees to participate by rewarding on each step, including making suggestion, being adopted, and being applied. A total of 3,675 ideas were suggested in the suggestion period in 2020, and 14 among them were selected as excellent ideas.

Excellent suggestions are actively applied in the field to make safe working place together with executives and staff members.
