Operation of the Right to Stop Work

POSCO E&C actively promotes and operates the "Right to Stop Work" system to prioritize guaranteeing workers' right to know, right to speak, and right to avoid danger.

When workers perceive an unsafe condition or hazardous working environment during work and inspections, they can stop work at any time and request necessary safety and health measures.

Once a work stoppage is reported, the site situation is promptly inspected, and appropriate safety and health measures are completed to create an environment where workers can work with peace of mind.

Operation of the Safety Academy

"LEARN SAFETY RIGHT, KEEP SAFETY TIGHT"

POSCO E&C operates the Safety Academy, a specialized safety education space where workers can safely practice simulating hazardous factors that may occur in the field and internalize correct safety rules.

Through a total of 19 types of educational facilities including falls, electric shocks, fires, and confined spaces, simulated disaster situations can be experienced safely, and proactive hazard prediction and emergency response capabilities are being strengthened by utilizing VR and smart equipment.

By providing practical, customized training including the most basic personal protective equipment wearing, emergency evacuation, and first aid practice, the company is maximizing hazard perception capabilities in the field and establishing a voluntary, practice-oriented safety culture.

Operation of the Smart Integrated Monitoring Room

POSCO E&C operates a head office control tower-centered "Smart Integrated Monitoring Room" to preemptively prevent safety accidents on-site and strengthen close safety support.

CCTV installed at sites nationwide is linked in real-time with the head office monitoring room to operate a continuous cross-validation (Double-Check) system for high-risk work sites. In addition, mobile CCTV is actively utilized to complement the physical limitations of fixed CCTV, thereby minimizing safety blind spots on-site.

In particular, proactive risk prevention is being realized through intensive monitoring based on 'selection and concentration' for core high-risk construction types with a high risk of accidents.

Support for Establishing Partner Company Safety and Health Systems

POSCO E&C prioritizes creating a safe workplace together with its partner companies and is establishing a solid safety culture of mutual growth.

The company operates diverse and systematic support systems to enable partner companies to focus on safety management under more stable conditions and internalize their own safety capabilities.

To ensure that partner companies with established safety and health management systems can perform on-site tasks, the company is conducting procedures to mutually verify overall safety capabilities across a 3-stage process (Registration - Bidding - Execution), and is cooperating by providing customized consulting so that safety capabilities operate effectively in the field.

In addition, based on continuous win-win communication with partner companies, the company closely reviews practical improvement factors in the field to encourage voluntary safety activities.

Strengthening Health Management to Create a Healthy Workplace

POSCO E&C operates a systematic, prevention-focused health management system to create a working environment where workers can work healthily.

Before starting work, the health status of new workers (such as blood pressure) is checked to proactively identify vulnerable health groups, and health impairments among workers are prevented through improved working conditions and continuous health monitoring.

In addition, during extreme heat and cold seasons when health risks increase due to seasonal factors, the company creates a pleasant and safe site where everyone can feel secure through thorough advance preparations such as proper rest facilities and protective equipment.
