Hanwha Ocean said it held a "safety innovation declaration ceremony" on the morning of the 12th at the Geoje plant, attended by Chief Executive Kim Hee-cheul, executives and employees, and representatives of partner companies.
With this declaration ceremony as a starting point, Hanwha Ocean plans to push safety culture innovation across institutions, systems, and people, and to launch practice-centered safety management joined by all executives, employees, and partner companies.
Hanwha Ocean also announced "20 safety innovation tasks" that day for this effort. Hanwha Ocean said it declared its intent to fundamentally "reset (Re-Set)" and "restart (Re-Start)" everything related to safety, breaking away from existing practices.
On the institutional side, it will establish an effective operating system by introducing incentives for safety compliance and stronger links to key performance indicators (KPI), advancing partner company safety management, and boldly abolishing formalistic systems and procedures.
In systems, to strengthen prevention of recurring accident types, it will run the Serious Accident Eradication Process Safe Guard 119 and a safety policy execution accountability system, and it will build a mobile safety management platform.
It will also advance accident investigations. Innovation in the people area will consist of tasks such as strengthening safety competencies by rank and function, expanding training for foreigners and partner companies, and promoting labor-management joint safety innovation.
Hanwha Ocean is also continuing efforts with Norway's DNV to raise its International Safety Ranking System (ISRS) grade under the international safety management system quantitative assessment. The goal is to achieve the highest safety grade in manufacturing by 2030.
