HYUNDAI STEEL has set up an emergency response system for early detection of accidents, prompt rescue activity, early extinguishment of fires, and recurrence prevention and is preparing to minimize human casualties and damage to facilities from accidents, fires, explosions, leaks, etc.

Occurrence of accidents → Early detection → Emergency rescue/early extinguishment → Recovery/ recurrence prevention

  • Early Detection

    We are operating a highly reliable early detection system, having set up an automatic fire detection and gas leak monitoring system and installed CCTV cameras in select places with high risk of accidents to minimize damage with prompt response when accident occurs. All such early monitoring systems are connected to an integrated disaster prevention center operating 24/7 to monitor abnormalities such as fire or gas leaks in real time. We are also equipped with a prompt response system on all accidents, operating emergency reporting phones at various places in the factory with signs indicating locations for the purpose of promptly identifying the location of accidents at a wide range of locations.

  • Emergency Rescue / Early Extinguishment of Fires

    We have a chemical fire engine, a retractable fire engine, and an ambulance for early response to the scene of an accident while operating a company fire brigade where professionally trained firemen and emergency rescuers are permanently stationed. Having set up an emergency response system for each factory, we perform simulated emergency response training periodically in connection with the firemen while performing fire extinguishment/evacuation training with the participation of all employees in order to secure the ability to cope in the event of fire. We are making efforts to prevent spread of accidents due to failed normal operation of firefighting and gas facilities by regularly performing self-regulated inspections in addition to legally mandatory inspections on firefighting and gas facilities.

  • Recovery / Recurrence Prevention

    We are setting up emergency recovery and recurrence prevention plans through an arrangement between the department where an accident has occurred and the related departments by holding a recurrence prevention meeting after the accident. Emergency recovery plan is set up by analyzing production equipment, utilities, electricity, building, and safety facilities in many aspects, so that the production can be normalized within a short period of time by sharing the recovery situation. We are managing effectively by clarifying the precise fundamental cause of an accident to set up and implement a comprehensive safety plan addressing facilities improvement, training and work improvement, etc. to prevent the same type of accident from repeating.
