“Safety comes first” is our uncompromised motto.
Ensuring safety measures is the first consideration in all projects and workspaces.
At Dream Industry Co., Ltd., all employees can work safely and healthily.
We are doing our best to create an safe work environment.
Set safety management leadership
Dream Industries presents a clear vision of safety and health for employees through the safety leadership management. All layers of management take safety and health as a core policy and uses various methods to educate all members to be informed about it. We set strict safety and health goals, and implement the specific plans to achieve them.
Worker participation in safety measures
We create an environment where all workers can actively participate in safety and health activities. Workers are free to express their opinions, which are discussed at regular meetings of the Health and Safety Committee. In addition, we conduct hard training so that workers can recognize the risks of work and comply with safety rules through pre-work safety meetings (TBM), etc.
Identify risk factors
We try to systematically identify all risk factors that might occur in the work environment. To this end, regular risk assessments are carried out and appropriate measures are taken by evaluating the “possibility of occurrence of occupational accidents” and “seriousness” for each risk factor.
Elimination and/or control of risk factors
The identified risk factors are eliminated and/or controlled. If physical removal is not possible, engineering control measures (installation of protective devices, ventilation systems, etc.) are applied. In addition, risk factors are minimized by preparing administrative control measures such as improving work procedures and introducing a work permit system.
Evaluate and improve the safety and health management
We regularly evaluate whether the safety and health management system has been properly set in place and take improvement measures if necessary. Evaluation results are transparently disclosed to all members, and continuous improvement activities are implemented by reflecting their opinions.
Education and training
Regular safety and health training is provided to all workers in order for them to raise their awareness about safety/ health issues and improve practical response capabilities. The training contents are organized into various media such as videos, brochures and other documents so that workers can refer them at any time, anywhere.
