, ‘”Hoban Construction conducted heat-related illness prevention activities and special checks on safety management during the monsoon season on construction sites,” the company announced on the 19th. This inspection was carried out in accordance with the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s special response guidelines for heatwaves and heavy rainfall.’,
,
, ‘Hoban Construction thoroughly examined the working environment of on-site workers, compliance with break spaces and break times, management plans for cold construction sites, etc. In particular, the company expanded the installation of sunshades in work areas without shade, reflecting the opinions of on-site workers to improve working conditions. Sunshades have the effect of blocking direct sunlight and preventing the increase in floor temperature.’,
,
, ‘Furthermore, the company provided rest areas and ice machines to make it easy for on-site workers to take breaks. Hoban Construction is making efforts in “on-site heat-related illness prevention activities” by ensuring mandatory rest periods of 10-15 minutes during the hot hours of the day and providing ice water, snacks, and beverages.’,
,
, ‘At each site, workers’ body temperature and blood pressure are measured to confirm their health status, and support is provided for hospital check-ups, etc. Recently, emergency rescue drills have been conducted to prepare for suffocation accidents in confined spaces that often occur during cold construction. Hoban Construction has also checked site-specific drainage plans and equipment operation methods in preparation for the upcoming monsoon season.’,
,
, ‘They also carefully inspected potential hazards such as water accumulation and increased soil pressure inside the site during heavy rains and prepared for the danger of electric shock and collapse. A safety and health team official from Hoban Construction said, “In preparation for the early heatwave compared to previous years, we have installed sunshades by reflecting workers’ opinions and expanded comfortable rest facilities to prevent heat-related illnesses. We will continue to prioritize the safety and health of workers and improve working conditions at Hoban.”.’,

, ‘Meanwhile, starting in June, Hoban Construction has strengthened safety management by conducting on-site inspections by the CEO every month and providing additional emotional safety activity expenses.’,
