Safety practice campaign held alongside partner companies
Hoban Construction has moved to strengthen safety management at its construction sites ahead of the winter season.
The company said Thursday it conducted a joint winter safety inspection Wednesday at the Hoban Summit Cheomdan 3 district construction site in Gwangju's A7 block.
The inspection brought together Byeon Bu-seop, head of Hoban Construction's construction safety division, along with company executives and representatives from four partner companies. The exercise was designed to identify major winter safety risks in advance and assess on-site safety management conditions.
Byeon toured key work areas at the site, reviewing safety facilities and working conditions. The inspection focused on fire prevention and fire facility management, worker health protection against cold snaps, and measures to prevent falls and slipping accidents.
Participants also identified site-specific vulnerabilities stemming from falling temperatures and changing weather conditions, and Byeon urged thorough implementation of safety measures suited to each site's working environment.
Byeon also heard from on-site workers and partner company representatives, listening to their concerns about potential hazards and safety management challenges before emphasizing compliance with safety rules and accident prevention.
Following the joint inspection, executives and partner company representatives held a safety practice campaign together, reaffirming their shared commitment to upholding safety rules and preventing accidents.
"During the winter, the risk of safety accidents rises with falling temperatures and changing weather, so we must carefully examine the risk factors at each site," Byeon said. "We will strengthen advance inspections and preventive measures to create a safe working environment."
Hoban Construction is also running winter safety manager training programs. The company plans to continue accident prevention activities involving both its own staff and partner companies through management-level site inspections and regular safety training.
Meanwhile, Hoban Construction recently renewed its residential brand Hoban Summit for the first time in seven years, unveiling a new brand identity and slogan. Alongside this, the company introduced a premium line called Hoban Summit Edition, built around the concept of "a summit in the city embraced by nature," which it plans to apply to future project sites.
