IPARK Hyundai Development said on the 20th that it will introduce a one-stop worker management system using digital technology and DX at the construction site of Cheonan IPARK City districts 5 and 6, which is under construction in Seobuk-gu, Seongseong-dong, Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province.
The system shifts the safety and health management method, which had relied on paper documents and in-person checks by staff, to a digital-based approach. It was designed to handle every step in a single flow, from checking the health status of workers entering the site to safety training and health questionnaires. The core is the organic consolidation of various technologies—contactless biosignal measurement, facial recognition, tablet-based training, and multilingual support—using the integrated safety training center shared by the two adjacent districts as a hub.
IPARK Hyundai Development has steadily strengthened safety training for foreign workers. It operates multilingual safety training videos in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai, and has also conducted safety training and emergency evacuation drills for foreign workers with professional interpreters. Cheonan IPARK City districts 5 and 6 apply digital technology to that operating experience, further advancing the safety management system.
IPARK Hyundai Development introduced contactless biosignal measurement kiosks at the site so that workers' health conditions can be checked in real time. When a worker stands in front of a kiosk, it automatically measures key biometric information such as blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, and stress, and can also check for alcohol consumption.
The measurement results and health questionnaire responses are linked in real time to the manager's screen, enabling quick checks for any health issues. As the method of recording health information on paper and having staff verify it directly has been automated, safety managers can focus more on morning site inspections and managing hazardous work.
New worker training and safety procedures were also digitized using facial recognition and tablets. After verifying identity through facial recognition, workers can complete steps such as language selection, safety training, health checks, and electronic signatures on a tablet.
In particular, eye-tracking technology was applied to the safety training to check concentration levels, and existing paper pledges and personal information consent forms were digitized to build a paperless environment. All records are stored and managed in real time, improving data reliability and work efficiency.
Based on the work histories of foreign workers employed at existing sites, 14 languages are supported, including Khmer, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Thai, and Chinese. The tablet-based training system arranges the language selection screen in order of the countries with the most registered foreign workers at the site, and after training ends, it automatically returns to the default language so the next worker can use it immediately.
A training room design centered on pictograms that convey information through images rather than text was also applied so that safety rules can be understood intuitively even when languages differ. Inside the training room, floor and wall designs guide the flow from the entrance to the kiosk, blood pressure monitor, tablet training, questionnaire, and exit, allowing workers to move in order on their own without assistance from staff.
Previously, workers wrote their names and affiliations on paper, which staff then checked against a roster, and blood pressure results were printed as stickers and attached to documents for management. Under the new system, when subcontractors pre-register worker information by trade, a worker's identity is confirmed immediately upon arrival through kiosk facial recognition, and the relevant information is automatically consolidated on the tablet screen.
Health managers can process tasks directly based on what is displayed on the screen without having to locate or check documents separately. Thanks to the structure in which measurement, training, and questionnaires proceed continuously, worker wait times are reduced, and safety managers can focus on site management instead of paperwork.
An IPARK Hyundai Development official said, "Cheonan IPARK City districts 5 and 6 is a case that applies DX and digital technology in earnest to construction site safety management, and it is meaningful in that it has shifted methods once checked manually and recorded on paper to a data-based system."
