Lotte Engineering and Construction announced on the 29th that it will implement a 'Safety Relay' campaign at sites nationwide from the 21st to December 31st this year, aiming to eliminate serious accidents and achieve zero accidents.
The 'Safety Relay' campaign is operated in a way that each division of Lotte Engineering and Construction, including dwellings, construction, civil engineering, and plants, divides the national sites into regions and conducts special safety activities at each site, then passes the 'Safety Baton' to the next site.
Lotte Engineering and Construction started the campaign with the dwellings site on the 21st, followed by the plant site on the 26th and the construction site on the 28th. The civil engineering site is expected to start on the 4th of next month.
The site that receives the 'Safety Baton' will begin with a zero-accident declaration ceremony attended by all workers, organized by the site manager on the first day. For two weeks, employees will conduct special safety activities filled with their determination and wishes to achieve zero accidents. Even after the individual activities period ends, each site will continue to closely monitor safety blind spots and respond to major hazards such as falls, drops, overturns, and collapses, Lotte Engineering and Construction explained.
Until September, which is the 'intensive health management period' during the heat wave, measures to prevent heat-related illnesses will also be checked and implemented, including providing cold water and cooling equipment, guaranteeing break spaces and rest times, and managing outdoor work. During this period, all sites conducted the 'ICE BOMB' campaign as part of the heat-related illness prevention program, and all executives participated in special inspections for heat-related illness prevention at each site from the 10th to the 15th.
A representative from Lotte Engineering and Construction noted, "We planned this campaign to promote safety awareness among all employees and workers so that we can practice and spread a culture of safety together," and added, "Through this campaign, we aim to eliminate not only serious accidents but also general accidents and achieve zero accidents at all sites."
