Creating a Safe Working
Environment for Employees
Hyundai Electric considers safe and healthy working environments through joint participation
of labor and management as an important core value that the company must protect,
and we are developing a safety and health management system to prevent
accidents in advance based on the basics and principles.
- Operation of safety and health
management system -
We established a health and safety management system that meets global standards by acquiring ISO 45001 international certification in March 2020.
By cultivating ISO internal auditors within the company, each department closely reviews the previous year's performance and the objectives for the current year through self-examination, and improves on the results derived from the detection of nonconformities.
- Occupational Safety
and Health Committee -
The Occupational Safety and Health Committee, which consists of 6 members each from labor and management, is convened on a quarterly basis to identify and manage health and safety risks in advance.
- Implementation of safety and health training
-
We systematically conduct statutory compulsory education by job type for employees entering the company and special safety training for high-risk workgroups in order to internalize health and safety awareness, prevent safety accidents in advance, and eliminate risks of violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
- Strengthening of
on-site inspection -
We prevent safety accidents by strengthening on-site inspections and providing 1:1 training so that violators of safety rules can recognize the associated risks.
We regularly check the status of follow-up management in areas where industrial accidents or minor accidents occur to prevent similar accidents from reoccurring.
We monitor the implementation of safety measures according to standard work instructions and the results of hazardous risk assessment.
- COVID-19 response
-
We prepare and promote in-house quarantine guidelines that are more stringent than the government guidelines in order to prevent infection and spread of
COVID-19.We actively respond by strengthening internal access procedures, implementing special disinfection procedures, providing masks, hand sanitizer, and thermometers, and providing emergency medical kits for overseas business travelers.
- Obesity management
-
We plan and operate an obesity prevention program including body composition analysis and walking exercise to lower the obesity rate, which contributes to the major causes of cerebrovascular disease such as high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and diabetes.
- Occupational disease management
-
We conduct a hearing preservation program for employees engaged in loud processes identified as a result of measuring the working environment.
In order to prevent musculoskeletal diseases, we conduct hazardous factor investigations, work environment improvement, and medical management.
- Chemical substance management
-
We conduct a hearing preservation program for employees engaged in loud processes identified as a result of measuring the working environment.
Substances identified as hazardous chemicals are blocked at the warehousing stage, such as by finding alternatives or adjusting their content.
