DL E&C announced on the 11th that all executives, including the CEO, submitted their resignation letters in connection with the fatal accident that occurred at the apartment construction site in Sin-gok-dong, Uijeongbu.
On the 8th, a worker in his 50s fell from about 6 stories and died at the DL E&C apartment construction site in Sin-gok-dong, Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province.
As a result, all executives, the Head of Team, and the site manager, including CEO Kang Yun-ho and Chief Safety Officer (CSO) Ha Jeong-min, voluntarily submitted their resignation letters.
DL E&C expressed, "We deeply and heavily mourn the deceased who tragically passed away due to this accident and sincerely apologize to the bereaved family," and added, "To achieve certainty in our safety system, all executives, the Head of Team, and site managers will commit to their jobs for on-site safety." It continued, "With a determination to risk our lives, we will definitely create a safe site, putting the company's fate on the line."
Immediately after the accident, DL E&C suspended all work at the construction site and is conducting emergency safety inspections.
DL E&C emphasized, "Right after the accident, all site work will be immediately stopped, and emergency safety checks will be conducted company-wide, and work will not resume until safety is definitively confirmed," adding, "To ensure that workers who come to work for a living can work safely and return home, we will build a safe site."
DL E&C plans to hold a safety declaration ceremony for all employees. Initially, it will be conducted for employees at the headquarters on the 11th, and subsequently, the event will be held sequentially at the sites where safety is confirmed and work resumes.
Meanwhile, on the same day, DL E&C also temporarily suspended construction at about 80 sites nationwide and is establishing safety measures for each site. The policy is that only sites that have received approval for their safety measures from Chief Safety Officer (CSO) Jeon Jong-pil will be allowed to resume work.
