CJ CheilJedang applies safety-focused color design at Busan plant

CJ CheilJedang has introduced a safety-enhancing 'Color Universal Design' (CUD) at its Busan plant, marking the first application of this technique in the food industry. Announced on the 20th, the CUD system utilizes color to ensure that all individuals, including those with color vision deficiencies or low vision, can intuitively understand their surroundings and identify objects. This initiative aims to create a safer working environment for everyone at the facility.

The Busan plant has integrated the CUD principles into key areas, including central intersections, pedestrian guidance lines, crosswalks, and emergency evacuation routes. By strategically using color combinations, variations in brightness, and saturation, the design significantly improves visibility. This clearer demarcation of pathways helps minimize confusion and prevent accidents involving cargo vehicles, forklifts, and workers. Safety markings on floors and walls have also been enhanced with color design to ensure pedestrian safety.

CJ CheilJedang plans to progressively implement this safety color design across its other business sites, building on the successful pilot at the Busan plant. Jang Ki-tae, the plant manager at Busan, highlighted the significance of the initiative, stating, "The Busan plant is a pilot case for safety color design..." This forward-thinking approach demonstrates the company's commitment to prioritizing workplace safety through innovative design solutions.
