Hanwha construction provides safety training to foreign workers
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Hanwha Construction in South Korea trained workers from China, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar with safety education in their native languages.
The company held the training at a construction site in Cheonan Asan and connected all its sites with video conferencing. Hanwha Construction used instructors from the workers’ home countries to explain emergency procedures. The training included hands-on practice with CPR and automated external defibrillators, with real-time feedback on the accuracy of chest compressions.
Hanwha Construction has been offering this type of training since last year, partnering with the Korea Job Competency Development Institute and the Central Emergency Medical Care Education Center, because the number of foreign workers at its construction sites is growing. To encourage participation, Hanwha Construction also operates a “Safety and Health Leader” program for each nationality. These leaders assist with safety inspections and training, and the company covers the cost of their Korean language proficiency tests.
Hanwha Construction plans to expand these programs to improve workers’ ability to recognize and respond to dangers.
