Ulsan, the industrial heart of South Korea, is home to SK Innovation\u2019s Ulsan Complex (hereafter referred to as Ulsan CLX). Ulsan CLX, located within Ulsan Port and operating a total of 8 docks, is at the forefront of establishing a \u201cSafety First\u201d corporate culture, implementing top-tier safety management practices. Over the past two years, SK Enterm spearheaded a company-wide efforts to establish a port\u2019s safety and health system, redesigning all aspects concerning the S\u00b7H\u00b7E* concept, from facilities improvement to safety training and risk assessment. <\/span>
\n*S\u00b7H\u00b7E is an abbreviation for Safety, Health, and Environment.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

SK Enterm undertook these changes for two reasons. Firstly, due to the enforcement of the Special Act on Port Safety** in August 2022. Secondly, because of the value of life itself. Considering that the rate of accidents and fatalities at sea and port facilities is higher than in other industries, incidents resulting in minor injuries on land can lead to fatal outcomes at sea. To address this issue, SK Enterm introduced a project called \u201cCreating a Safe Maritime Work Environment at Ulsan CLX,<\/strong>\u201d with the goal of achieving \u201cZero human accidents.<\/strong>\u201d We discussed these efforts with Jeon Young-ill and Ahn Seong-bok of S\u00b7H\u00b7E Tech Unit at SK Enterm. Both are Maritime Safety Officers responsible for establishing and operating safety management standards for marine facilities, managing safety for coastal and import\/export vessels, and handling cooperation projects and external affairs related to marine and port activities. <\/span>
\n**Special Act on Port Safety: A special law enacted on August 3, 2021, and implemented from August 2022 to prevent port safety accidents. A key aspect of this law is the introduction of a Port Safety Inspection Officer, a role that reflects the unique environment of ports and the need for tailored safety management strategies. These officers are responsible for verifying the implementation of safety plans at workplaces.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
