Sampyo Group said on the 22nd that executives from all affiliates gathered in one place and reaffirmed their firm commitment to safety management.
Sampyo Industry, the core affiliate of Sampyo Group, held the "first-quarter 2026 executive safety session" on the 20th at the Barbien 2 Training Center in Seoul, with more than 80 participants including CEOs from all affiliates, the chief safety officer (CSO), and key executives.
The event was organized to review the results of accident prevention activities that Sampyo Industry is pursuing and to share a safety roadmap that will be pushed even more forcefully this year.
At this event, Sampyo Industry overhauled the "leadership training" for executives. Moving away from one-off lectures with topics changing each quarter, starting this year it introduced a "series-type annual training curriculum" that is organically connected over a year. The aim is for management to fully internalize safety leadership first and then apply it in the field.
In the first-quarter session, the company invited an occupational safety and health consulting institution to take an in-depth look at "safety mindset and the leader's roles and responsibilities."
Starting with this, in the second quarter the company plans to conduct training on measures to prevent and manage serious incidents and fatalities (SIF) at business sites. In the third quarter, training is scheduled on practical methods of safety leadership based on management safety observations (VFL), and in the fourth quarter, on emergency response systems and the leader's role.
At the session, based on actual on-site indicators, a diagnosis was conducted of the safety management system across the group since the enforcement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. A comprehensive analysis was also carried out of "near-miss" indicators that could have led to major accidents and of management's on-site inspection activities.
In particular, Sampyo Industry also shared a "pinpoint prevention plan" that establishes a preemptive prevention roadmap for each risk type, taking into account the different working environments at each site, and presents customized guidelines for each business site.
Kim Hwan-soo, chief safety officer (CSO) and executive director of Sampyo Industry, said, "On the foundation of the safety culture we built last year, this year it is time to establish a more sophisticated and practical safety management system," and added, "We will proactively block even the 1% of hidden risk signals at sites by relying on thorough data and statistics."
