Safety and Health Capacity Building
SK D&D conducts safety and health education programs to enhance awareness and strengthen the safety mindset among employees and business partners. To foster a shared understanding of safety management and promote a safety-first culture, the company provides differentiated training tailored to each target group. In addition, annual health and wellness training is conducted on topics such as occupational stress and disease management, based on comprehensive training plans developed each year.

The company has established and actively enforces a company-wide Safety and Health Management Policy, supported by detailed operational guidelines including the Safety and Health Management Manual and Emergency Response Procedures.

Through this inclusive approach, the company is building a robust safety culture that prioritizes the well-being of everyone involved.
OHS Management Policy
To effectively execute its Safety and Health Management System, SK D&D has adopted the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, enabling continuous monitoring and improvement of safety and health management performance. Furthermore, to ensure compliance with industrial safety and health regulations and to implement necessary improvements, any revisions to the Safety and Health Management Policy undergo a thorough review and approval process led by the Chief Safety Officer (CSO).

Workplace Safety and Health Management Manual

Its scope applies to all business divisions and sites, including business partners and other stakeholders who access the sites. SK D&D is committed to identifying applicable laws and standards for headquarters and business sites, and to operating the safety and health management system smoothly in accordance with established principles and procedures. Through these efforts, the company aims to prevent industrial accidents and ensure the safety of all workers.

Safety and Health Management Organization
SK D&D operates an executive-led Safety and Health Management System. A Chief Safety Officer (CSO) is appointed with the authority and responsibility—delegated by the Board of Directors—for establishing safety and health strategies, setting organizational goals, and overseeing performance. To support robust implementation, SK D&D has established a dedicated company-wide SHE (Safety, Health, and Environment) Department. This team reports annually to the Board on safety and health plans and achievements, and holds monthly regular SHE meetings with headquarters and subsidiaries to systematically manage safety and health risks across the organization. Safety managers at business divisions and project sites work in close collaboration with the SHE department to carry out activities such as site inspections, training, and safety programs aligned with SK D&D’s SHE policies and strategic objectives. These efforts contribute directly to the prevention and mitigation of safety and health risks at worksites.
To enhance performance management, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and an incentive system are used. The CSO’s KPIs include key safety goals such as achieving zero serious accidents, conducting compliance checks, and supporting the establishment of safety and health systems at subsidiaries. Performance outcomes are directly linked to the CSO’s compensation and incentives, reinforcing effective implementation, risk prevention, and the creation of a safe and healthy work environment.

Risk Assessment and Mitigation Measures
As a project owner, SK D&D manages potential safety and health hazards at all rental housing sites under development and operation. The company conducts regular inspections of firefighting systems, fire hazards, and safety facilities to evaluate site-specific risks. These assessments comprehensively consider legal requirements, internal manuals, organizational culture, and other internal and external factors to identify potential risks. For high-risk or serious hazards, risk-level-based mitigation plans are established. The Chief Safety Officer (CSO) or other responsible executives directly review critical risk factors, ensure appropriate corrective actions are developed, and monitor their implementation. To further strengthen proactive risk management, SK D&D performs monthly risk assessments at all sites where it acts as project owner. For each identified hazard, risk reduction measures are developed and implemented in alignment with CSO KPIs. These efforts aim to enhance the company’s safety management system and uphold a zero-accident record at construction sites.
Safety and Health Risk Management Process
Emergency Response
SK D&D has established behavioral guidelines to prevent potential accidents at its project sites. In the event of an emergency, the company aims to respond swiftly to manage the incident, prevent human casualties and environmental pollution, and minimize both direct and indirect losses to the site and the company. The company has also developed site-specific emergency response training plans. To ensure readiness, emergency drills and training sessions are conducted at least once every six months. The implementation of these activities is reviewed biannually by senior management, including those responsible for safety.
