LG Display is enhancing its safety cooperation framework with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, labor unions, and partner companies. The initiative aims to address safety management in manufacturing environments as well as communication and labor relations between primary and subcontractors. The goal is to treat workplace safety as a shared responsibility rather than just a management issue for individual companies.
On October 29, LG Display held a "Creating Safe Workplaces for Primary and Subcontractors" meeting at its Paju factory, as announced on the 30th. The event was attended by Jeong Eon-sook, head of the Goyang branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor; Kim Seong-hee, Chief Safety and Environment Officer (CSEO) of LG Display; Jeong Sang-sik, head of the labor union; Lee Gi-sang, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO); and representatives from partner companies.
Participants shared joint safety and health activities and improvement cases from LG Display's operations. They also discussed ways to establish a voluntary safety culture in collaboration with management. Additionally, they agreed to strengthen communication with partner companies and to jointly address the protection of vulnerable workers.
The Goyang branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor provided guidance on key aspects of the revised labor union law and related implementation considerations. They urged maintaining stable labor relations based on mutual respect and trust between primary and subcontractors.
This meeting is significant as it addressed both safety management in industrial settings and the relationship between primary and subcontractors. To effectively establish safety and health activities on-site, it is essential not only for primary companies to manage but also for them to share information and execute plans with partner companies. Future assessments of whether safety improvements are realized at partner sites and whether joint safety management activities continue will serve as benchmarks for the effectiveness of this cooperation framework.
