The company said Thursday it was named an outstanding participant in a large company-small business workplace safety cooperation program at a signing ceremony held Wednesday at the Peace & Park Convention in Seoul’s Yongsan district.
Attendees included the minister of employment and labor, the head of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, Hyundai Glovis Safety and Environment Center chief Kim Il-hwan and about 250 government and corporate officials, the company said.
The program is hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and administered by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency. It supports parent companies and partner firms in voluntarily carrying out workplace safety and health improvements.
Hyundai Glovis said it was recognized for continuing field-focused safety and health support tailored to logistics worksites and for actively reflecting feedback from partner companies and workers. It said it has recorded zero serious industrial accidents from 2021 to the present.
Since 2021, the company has provided partner firms with free side safety supports for vehicle carriers to help prevent falls during loading and unloading. It later developed a second-generation support designed to improve both convenience and safety and expanded distribution, it said.
Hyundai Glovis also said it developed and distributed a customized lightweight safety helmet for truck drivers. The new helmet weighs 250 grams, with volume reduced by 16% and weight by 14% compared with conventional industrial helmets, it said. The helmet passed safety certification screening by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, the company said.
The company said it also runs virtual reality-based hands-on safety training and selects and rewards a monthly safety excellence employee to help embed a workplace safety culture.
“Under the belief that our partners’ safety is Hyundai Glovis’ safety, we have continued a shared-growth approach to safety management,” a company official said. “We will continue expanding safety and health programs with our partners to raise safety standards across industrial sites.”
