"With the Mindset of Protecting Our Own Families"
All Executives to Visit Construction Sites Every Month
Safety and Health Management Meetings and On-site Safety Inspections
Oilkeun Oh, CEO of Lotte Construction, has been driving a strong focus on safety management since the beginning of his tenure.
According to Lotte Construction on February 27, CEO Oh personally participated in safety experience training with 38 executives at the "Safety ON" Safety Experience Center located at the Lotte Human Resources Development Institute in Osan-si, Gyeonggi Province.
This training included hands-on experiences such as CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), safety belt and opening fall exercises, and virtual reality (VR) simulations of fall, drop, and electric shock accidents. The program was designed to allow participants to directly experience disaster situations that may occur at actual construction sites.
CEO Oh emphasized, "All employees at headquarters and in the field should internalize safety management standards and principles, approaching safety as if they are protecting their own families."

To date, over 11,700 people, including Lotte Construction employees, Lotte Group affiliates, partner companies, and external organizations, have completed training at the center.
A Lotte Construction representative stated, "Safety is a top priority that cannot be compromised," and added, "We will firmly establish the principle of 'No work without safety' as a shared philosophy among all members and foster a culture where safety management is put into practice."
