and quality campaign to achieve defect-free site through smart safety and
quality control
- Attained
goal of “zero serious disasters” last year thanks to thorough safety and health
management system operation
At the head office on January 26th, HDC Hyundai
Development Company (CEO Kwon Soon-Ho) of HDC Group held a proclamation
ceremony of a special safety and quality campaign called “SMART ZERO” that will
be carried out with partner companies. To prevent the continuous spread of
COVID-19, the event was held via video conference while a minimum number of
people, including CEO Kwon Soon-Ho and the Safety and Quality Committee,
participated in person.
The details
of the event were carried out in the following order: a report on items for
implementation centered on safety and quality, a presentation on operation
plans for safety and quality per PM, a ceremony for rewarding the sites and
partner companies, presenting a letter of appointment to the Safety and Quality
Committee, reading the proclamation of the safety and quality campaign, and so
on.
Under the
slogan “SMART ZERO,” HDC Hyundai Development plans to achieve a disaster-free
and defect-free business site by operating smart safety and quality through
self-control, monitoring, assistance, rechecking and training in the safety aspect,
and speedy defect repair, strengthening manpower competence, autonomous &
responsible quality control, and establishing teamwork in the quality aspect.
At the ceremony, CEO Kwon Soon-Ho stated that thanks to last
year’s hard work of partner companies, executives and staff members based on
the safety and health management system, they could achieve zero deaths and
remarkably less injuries. He requested that they do their best to maintain a
disaster-free, defect-free site by removing, in advance, risk factors that may
cause serious disasters and following the rules through improving the system,
facilities and tools to successfully achieve SMART ZERO.
Furthermore,
Yoonjoo Construction and Doosong Construction were selected as excellent
partner companies in the safety aspect and quality aspect respectively and were
awarded accordingly.
HDC Hyundai
Development Company established the SMART ZERO strategy to improve its safety
system and safety consciousness, newly strengthening safety and health activities.
Through this, a method centered on “system,” “smart safety” and “safety
culture” that could be flexibly applied in any environment was secured.
A unique aspect of the HDC Hyundai Development Company Safety and
Quality Campaign is that partner companies also participate. Since the launch of the Safety and Quality Committee that was
established in 1994 consisting of the presidents of partner companies for the
first time in construction industry history, a win-win management system
through safety control is being consistently implemented. In addition, to
prevent safety accidents, the Hot Summer Icicle Campaign and Cold Winter
Concentrated Health Inspection are carried out per season, striving for thorough
safety and health control. In like manner, a disaster response guideline has
been established to prevent COVID-19 from spreading within the company.
