Safety and Health Management Policy
POSCO places safety and health at the forefront of its management priorities. By establishing a robust and sustainable safety management system, we cultivate a culture that prioritizes safety above all and develop leading safety professionals.
Additionally, grounded in the belief that ‘Healthy employees make a healthy company,’ we prioritize industrial health activities across three core areas: health improvement, work environment, and disease treatment.
POSCO has established an internal communication system that fosters active participation from all employees. By promoting employee-led voluntary safety and health activities, we are dedicated to cultivating a world-class safety culture. To achieve this, we are incorporating smart technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), to create a more scientific and effective worksite that prioritizes the safety and health of our employees. Moreover, to enhance the safety and health of our stakeholders, including contractors, we encourage these related companies to engage in safety and health activities.
POSCO formulates and executes goals and action plans to effectively implement its safety and health management policy. To ensure the efficacy of these initiatives, we operate an internal audit system that conducts regular evaluations. While compliance with safety and health regulations is our baseline, we also establish and adhere to more stringent internal standards to ensure safety in the installation, operation, and maintenance of facilities, machinery, and equipment.
- Safety is the top priority over production, quality, timelines, delivery, and all other values, ensuring an environment where everyone entering POSCO can work safely and comfortably.
- To prevent disasters and diseases among all employees and contractor employees, POSCO proactively identifies hazardous risk factors and pursues continuous workplace improvement.
