Hyundai E&C Expands Heatwave Response Measures for Workers at 121 Sites

Hyundai Engineering & Construction is taking comprehensive measures to protect its workers from the anticipated extreme heat this summer. The company announced on June 2nd that it is expanding its heat illness prevention program across all 121 of its construction sites nationwide.

With forecasts predicting a severe heatwave, Hyundai E&C is rolling out a special "Hot Weather Site Inspection and Heat Illness Prevention Program." This initiative aims to safeguard the health and safety of its workforce during the demanding summer months. The company emphasized that these actions align with strengthened safety management guidelines, including new industrial safety and health laws and government special task forces focused on heatwave response.

As part of the program, Shin Jae-jeom, Hyundai E&C's Chief Safety Officer, visited the Data Center Gajwa Tech Center construction site in Incheon on June 1st. He inspected heat preparedness facilities and equipment and participated in a campaign to distribute cool beverages to approximately 300 site workers.

The company is enhancing its existing "3GO! Program" by rebranding it as the "3GO! 2GO ZERO! Program." This updated program focuses on worker well-being by encouraging hydration, providing shade, and ensuring rest, alongside additional measures to prevent heat-related illnesses. The company's commitment reflects a proactive approach to worker safety in the face of challenging environmental conditions.
