Hyundai E&C announced on the 22nd that it will implement the customized on-site campaign '3GO! Program' to prevent heat-related illnesses during the summer.
On the 21st, Hyundai E&C conducted a special on-site inspection in response to the heat at the 'Hillstate Medialle' site located in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, along with a campaign to prevent heat-related illnesses aimed at workers.
On that day, Hwang Jun-ha, Chief Safety Officer (CSO), inspected the implementation status and preparedness regarding the newly introduced legislation related to the heat.
The 3GO! Program by Hyundai E&C is a manual for responding to extreme heat, structured around the slogan 'Drink GO! Cover GO! Cool GO!' which focuses on three key work management rules: water supply, shading measures, and providing breaks. This program contains a comprehensive corporate strategy for preventing heat-related illnesses and is systematically applied in each site.
At the event, Hyundai E&C also carried out special inspection activities along with a campaign to prevent heat-related illnesses, which involved over 700 workers, and conducted experience-based safety and health activities for workers. They operated a 'Gatorade booth' in collaboration with LOTTE Chilsung Beverage, the supplier of sports drinks. They engaged participants by providing heat-related illness prevention supplies as prizes through a roulette event.
Hyundai E&C has designated the period from June 1 to the end of September as the 'special management period for preventing heat-related illnesses' in reflection of the Ministry of Employment and Labor's special response guidelines for safety management against heat and heavy rainfall. They plan to implement preventive activities for worker health protection at all sites on a corporate-wide basis.
To respond in real time to meteorological alerts, Hyundai E&C has integrated the Korea Meteorological Administration API into its worker-exclusive digital platform 'H-Safety Wallet' to provide information on the status of alerts, work and break time criteria, etc.
They are conducting various activities to raise workers' awareness of heat-related illnesses and to spread a safety and health culture, including producing exclusive audio for the 3GO! Program that is broadcast during morning meetings and break times.
A Hyundai E&C official noted, 'As the government is organizing heat response legislation and emphasizing the prevention of heat-related illnesses, we are strengthening on-site management by establishing a proactive response system with the goal of 'ZERO heat-related illnesses.' We will systematize preventive education and inspection activities around the 3GO! Program and strive to elevate corporate-wide safety and health awareness so that workers can work in a comfortable and safe environment.'
