Governance
Board-led Safety Governance
The Board of Directors serves as the company’s highest decision-making body for occupational health and safety oversight. Each year, the Board reviews and approves a comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety Plan covering the company’s health and safety policy, organizational structure, budget, performance from the previous year, and action plans for the current year. Through this governance process, the Board provides strategic direction and ensures that the company’s safety management system is continuously maintained and improved.
Executive-led Implementation Framework
With the goal of achieving Zero Serious Accidents, HanmiGlobal implements its safety-first principle under the strong leadership and commitment of senior management. An Occupational Health and Safety Management Council, reporting directly to the CEO, oversees key health and safety matters across the company. Supporting the Council is a dedicated Risk Management organization that serves as the company’s safety control tower, providing on-site support and conducting safety audits. This governance structure clearly demonstrates top management's strong commitment to implementing and sustaining a robust safety management system.

Strategy
Strengthening Safety Training and Emergency Response Capabilities
To establish a world-class safety management system aligned with global standards, HanmiGlobal actively benchmarks international best practices. The company analyzes and adapts leading safety management practices from global project management firms such as AECOM, the safety management system of ARAMCO, and the United Kingdom’s Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) regulations—recognized for contributing to one of the world’s lowest occupational accident rates—to suit domestic project environments.
Technology-driven Smart Safety Management
HanmiGlobal actively adopts advanced technologies to maximize the efficiency and accuracy of construction site safety management. These include the company’s proprietary Mobile SCAR mobile safety management application, drone-based site inspections, metaverse-based virtual safety training, and AI-powered hazard analysis, all of which are integrated into on-site safety management.

Raising Safety Standards across the Supply Chain
To strengthen safety capabilities across its supply chain, HanmiGlobal has published the PM Safety Management Handbook, which outlines the core safety management responsibilities required of project managers at each stage of construction, enabling personnel to perform their duties consistently and effectively. The company also supports the safety capabilities of supply chain partners and promotes shared growth by providing a Safety Management Operations Manual and a Safety Management Plan Review Checklist tailored for small- and medium-sized contractors.

Risk Management
Proactive Risk Prediction and Analysis through Data
In line with the government's initiative to eliminate serious industrial accidents, HanmiGlobal operates the HG Proactive Safety Management System, which uses historical accident data and project site information to predict potential risks and enable preventive action. The company closely analyzes monthly accident trends across project sites to identify recurring patterns and shares lessons learned from serious accidents at other companies with all project sites to prevent similar incidents. In addition, HanmiGlobal proactively alerts project teams to seasonal and time-specific hazards—such as those associated with long holiday periods, thawing seasons, and the rainy season—and provides focused safety management guidance to ensure thorough preparedness for seasonal risks.
Pre-Construction Accident-Prevention Rule
- Integrate safety criteria into contractor pre-qualification and bid evaluation
- Bid Phase: Establish Guidelines for Ensuring Safety
- Construction Phase: Ensure Effective Safety Implementation
- Embed safe design solutions for major trades (e.g., appropriate earth-retaining systems, collapse prevention)
- Eliminate or redesign high-risk work methods wherever possible
- Build and use a DFS digital platform to manage the process
Multi-layered, Site-centered Risk Control
All safety management activities are centered on project sites. HanmiGlobal conducts annual risk assessments for employees and subcontractors across approximately 140 domestic and international projects, with particular emphasis on the four major risk categories: falls, fires, structural collapse, and equipment-related hazards. Project sites with a history of safety incidents or weaker safety management performance are designated as high-risk sites, where headquarters conducts on-site safety inspections at least once a month and closely monitors the implementation of corrective actions. For sites where contractors require additional support in safety management, HanmiGlobal provides On-site Safety Support through customized consulting services to strengthen practical safety performance.

Risk Management Enabled by Digital Technologies
HanmiGlobal actively leverages digital technologies to improve the speed and accuracy of on-site risk management. Its proprietary Mobile SCAR mobile safety management application enables personnel to immediately record hazards using photographs taken at the project site, automatically notify the responsible departments and personnel, and share the status of corrective actions in real time. The system facilitates the rapid elimination of hazards while digitizing the entire safety management process—including incident reporting and work suspension requests—thereby maximizing operational efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
Key Features of Mobile SCAR
Immediate Hazard Reporting
Enables rapid response by allowing users to instantly register hazards with photos taken at the project site
Real-time Notifications
Sends immediate action requests and notifications to relevant departments and responsible personnel
Action Status Sharing
Transparently shares and tracks corrective action progress and completion status
Strengthening Employee Participation and Emergency Response Capabilities
Safety is not the responsibility of designated personnel alone; it is the right and obligation of every person working at the site. HanmiGlobal ensures the effective implementation of Stop Work Authority, allowing all site workers to immediately suspend work if they determine that there is a serious safety risk. In addition, HanmiGlobal conducts emergency response drills twice a year for all employees to ensure rapid and effective responses during actual emergencies and strengthen their ability to protect lives and property in any crisis.
Indicators and Targets
Mid- to Long-term Occupational Safety and Health Goals and Performance
HanmiGlobal has established and manages detailed mid- to long-term safety and health goals through 2028 to ensure that its safety-first management philosophy is continuously implemented rather than limited to achieving short-term targets. The company transparently manages annual targets and performance for key safety indicators, including the number of serious industrial accidents, the number of project accidents, and the occupational accident rate. It is committed to systematically achieving these goals through continuous improvement and proactive safety management.
2025 Key Achievements and Major Initiatives
In 2025, HanmiGlobal established “Zero Serious Industrial Accidents” as its top safety objective and adopted a Safety First principle, with the participation of all employees, as a core corporate value. To achieve this goal, the company successfully implemented ten key initiatives focused on strengthening practical, site-centered safety management. These initiatives included company-wide risk assessments, 100% completion of emergency response drills, enhanced safety patrols, and the operation of Occupational Safety and Health Committees, thereby establishing a more systematic and effective occupational safety and health management system. As a result of these efforts, HanmiGlobal conducted 226 on-site safety support activities and inspections, proactively identifying and eliminating potential hazards. Consequently, the company achieved its key target of zero serious industrial accidents in 2025.
