Hyundai E&C announced on the 19th that it held a 'disaster safety education and delivery ceremony for children's safety helmets' at Muggo Elementary School in Uljang County, Ulsan Metropolitan City, on the 18th in collaboration with the Construction Industry Community Contribution Foundation and Plan Korea.
The delivery ceremony was attended by key personnel, including Deputy Minister Lee Hyun-young from the Hyundai E&C Shahin project construction site, Kim Jin-hong in charge of Hyundai E&C investor relations, Secretary-General Lee Jae-sik of the Construction Industry Community Contribution Foundation, and Lee Jae-myung from Plan Korea.
Hyundai E&C has continued its social contribution activities in the disaster safety sector for six years, focusing on disaster-prone areas, and this year has expanded its target area to include Ulsan. This time, it plans to carry out disaster safety activities aimed at improving community safety levels and promoting mutual growth, focusing on regions near major business sites such as Ulsan, where the Shahin project of S-Oil, a large-scale petrochemical complex, is underway, and the Shin Hanul Nuclear Power Plant units 3 and 4 located in Uljin.
From this month to November, Hyundai E&C will deliver a total of about 3,250 disaster prevention safety helmets, which it has planned and produced, to seven schools in Ulsan and Uljin and conduct safety education and participatory disaster evacuation training for all students. The safety helmets are made of a lightweight, impact-resistant plastic material designed to protect the head in case of disaster emergencies.
This educational program has strengthened experience-based disaster safety education content to encourage active participation among children. It is designed for children to learn and naturally become familiar with methods such as how to wear safety helmets, an easy-to-learn 'earthquake song' for earthquake evacuation, and simulated evacuation training using rescue handkerchiefs.
A Hyundai E&C official noted, 'We have carried out disaster prevention activities, including the distribution of safety equipment and disaster simulation training, to enable immediate responses during emergencies, focusing on areas affected by earthquakes,' adding, 'While continuing effective activities for children, we plan to expand our social contribution activities linked to the local community by extending the target areas near our business sites.'
