At Poong Lim, safety has always been our top priority where the lives of our employees are dependent. We have realized that rigorous safety management never detracts from the bottom line, yet keeps our family happy and brings higher value to the company. It is also a critical tool for realizing our corporate mission, building a prosperous future that will enrich everyone's life. We firmly believe every accident and every injury is preventable and we have embedded that philosophy to every project to make sure that our commitment to safety permeates throughout the organization.

 
Safety on Track



In 2004, Poong Lim initiated "Safety on Track Campaign", a movement designed to establish an efficient safety control system to reduce occupational hazard and enhance corporate credibility. The campaign includes activities as follows;

1) Pre-work Inspection
- Identify potential hazard and issue corrections
- Operate rotational shift for safety patrol. Employees assigned for patrol shall present the report not
   less than twice a day.

2) Hazard Categorization
Divide each site into 3 areas of red, green and yellow to develop efficient approach to potential hazard
- Category 1 Red Area
: Subject to monthly inspection and random check to ensure constant follow-up and improvement
- Category 2 Green Area
: Subject to bimonthly inspection, designated as Self-Controlled Safety Area
- Category 3 Yellow Area
: Subject to quarterly inspection

3) Employee Suggestion Program
Launch "Employee Suggestion Program" to call upon every individual to play an active role in safety control.
- Encourage voluntary participation of employees in risk prevention. Identify and eliminate potential
   hazards in advance.
- Introduce Employee Awards Program designed to recognize an individual or a team twice a year who
   suggests fresh idea for better safety protection.
Field Safety Training


Provide "Field Safety Training" to supervisors of vendors who have potential to be exposed to major risk. The training is designed to improve safety awareness and offer first-hand insights into potential risk and methods of mitigation.

1) Field Safety Training for Supervisors
- Construction Site: Civil, Structure, Electrical, Instrument Vendors
- Civil Site: Structure, Paving and Civil Work Vendors
Standardization of Safety Facilities
In an effort to keep the job site clean and orderly, prevent accident and improve our corporate image, we focus on developing new and innovative construction methods to minimize falling hazards.

Independent Third Party Inspection
Monthly Safety Check by an Independent Agent
Along with internal safety check, we assign third party to conduct safety control. The process allows the third party to independently assess site conditions from objective perspectives and to provide appropriate recommendation and guidance to identify and prevent major risk factors.
