The Korea Federation of Construction Associations (Korea Construction Association) stated, "In line with the government's 'eradication of serious accidents' policy, the construction industry will elevate its safety management standards on its own."
Korea Construction Association held a meeting on the 'promotion of safety culture at construction sites and eradication of serious accidents,' chaired by President Han Seung-koo, with the CEOs of 30 major domestic construction companies and the leaders of provincial associations in attendance.
During this meeting, Korea Construction Association explained that they revisited the major issues raised at the CEO meeting chaired by the Minister of Employment and Labor on the 14th and sought practical safety solutions applicable in the field, including the establishment and operation of advanced safety systems.
President Han noted, "Through diverse activities such as emergency strategy meetings, task force (TF) team operations, banner campaigns, and nationwide special training, we will significantly reduce serious accidents at construction sites," adding, "We will work together with the government, National Assembly, and industry to firmly establish a safety culture at construction sites."
On the 30th of last month, Korea Construction Association held an emergency strategy meeting for the eradication of serious accidents and ensuring safety at construction sites, with participation from the chairpersons of 16 provincial associations under the leadership of President Han.
Starting with the strategy meeting, on the 5th of this month, Korea Construction Association launched a 'TF team for the eradication of serious accidents,' involving 17 organizations and research institutions. The TF team plans to continue industry-wide campaigns and practical activities such as ▲ regular meetings to check safety measures ▲ conducting research services for cause analysis of serious accidents ▲ promoting performances on Construction Day.
Since the 13th, the Construction Association of Korea has begun implementing 'region-specific special safety training' across 16 provinces for representatives and employees of member companies, with the plan to fundamentally prevent serious accidents at construction sites.
