DL E&C, Full Effort on Safety Management Amid Heatwave

*This content was translated by AI.

DL E&C is strengthening safety management during the scorching summer across construction sites nationwide in response to consecutive days of extreme heat.

DL E&C operates air-conditioned rest areas at all sites nationwide, keeping water purifiers, freezers, and bottled ice water available at all times so workers can take adequate breaks. In particular, 15 mobile rest facilities called "Health Buses" are operated at sites where outdoor work is frequent or fixed rest rooms are difficult to install. These buses have been installed at Ulleung Airport, Section 4 of the Sejong-Pocheon Expressway (Anseong-Guri) on National Highway 29, and Songdo 11-1 Section, supporting workers' rest and health management.

Work management according to heatwave levels has also been strengthened. DL E&C operates a four-tier response system: Watch, Warning, Alert, and Major Alert. When a heat warning is issued, breaks of at least 20 minutes are required every two hours; when a heat alert is issued, breaks of at least 15 minutes are mandatory every hour. If a major heat alert is declared, all outdoor work is halted, prioritizing the health and safety of workers.

In particular, the headquarters' comprehensive safety control room monitors sites nationwide in real time to quickly identify heat-risk areas and immediately implement necessary safety measures. Work environments and weather conditions at each site are continuously checked to proactively manage risk factors caused by extreme heat.

A DL E&C official who spoke with this newspaper by phone said, "Since heatwaves can threaten workers' lives and health, thorough prevention and on-site-centered response are more important than anything else."
