Creating a safe and healthy workplace for GS EPS members
GS EPS creates safe and eco-friendly power plants
GS EPS aims to operate eco-friendly power plants that prioritize the employees’ safety according to the vision of "Value No.1 Clean Energy Company for Better World". Therefore, we have established a safety and health management system our employees comply with. In January 2022, GS EPS raised the level of management activities on safety and health by enacting the Safety and Health Management Regulations and establishing the Safety and Health Management Policy to promote safety awareness of employees.
Building a healthy working environment by complying with international standards
GS EPS has established a global-level safety and health management system by building a system based on international standards according to the EHSQ(Environment, Health, Safety, Quality) safety management system. GS EPS has obtained the international standard ISO 45001 certification in safety and health. Based on the certification, GS EPS establishes, improves, and manages internal regulations and work procedures related to safety and health.
Safety and health management system certification ㅣISO 45001
To obtain ISO 45001 certification, the safety and health management policies that emphasize risks from the working environment in the company and responsibility for the safety and health of workers must be established, and relevant systems and activities must be performed.
Strengthening the safety of power plants through the dedicated safety and health management organization
We have established and operate a dedicated organization to strengthen our management system as the importance of the safety and health field increases. GS EPS strives to handle all tasks organically and effectively by continuously identifying, evaluating, and monitoring potential risks.
Operating the Permit For Work (PFW) system to check and authorize the safety status of all works in the power plants
We operate the PDW system for power generation facilities and facilities with potential hazards and risks and all on-site workers who operate them. GS EPS fundamentally prevents man-made disasters by isolating all work equipment risk factors with a forced lock and strives to foster safety professionals who can systematically prevent work accidents.
We create a future safer than today with various safety and health activities
GS EPS conducts systematic and diverse safety and health activities at its workplace across all steps, from accident prevention to response after accidents. We strive to secure the safety and health of our employees and partner company’s employees and to establish a safety culture.
