SPC Group, which is under police investigation following an incident in which a worker was caught in machinery and died, announced on the 18th that it has formed a labor-management safety committee at the production centers of all its affiliates and conducted joint safety inspections.
This inspection was conducted at 24 production centers nationwide of major affiliates such as SPC Samlip, Paris Croissant, and B.R. Korea, with participation from labor unions, the company, and external experts.
SPC Group explained that the labor union chairpersons, commissioners, center directors, safety management employees, and external safety experts from each production center participated in checking potential risk factors on-site and carried out improvement activities.
Starting on the 22nd of last month with the safety inspection of the SPC Samlip Siheung production center, SPC Group plans to complete inspections of all production centers by the 21st, following inspections of 22 production centers up to the day before. They intend to improve any identified issues by the end of this month and take action where additional investment is required.
A representative of SPC Group noted, "In deep reflection on the repeated safety accidents, we will put all our efforts into preventing recurrence by joining forces with labor and management. We will ensure that no small or detailed aspects are overlooked in inspections and improvements with the help of the labor union, which knows the field best."
