SK shieldus said on the 5th that it is strengthening safety management for agents in charge of on-site work.
An SK shieldus official said, “Considering the characteristics of on-site work, we are strengthening preventive safety management that reduces potential risk factors in the course of work rather than responding after an accident occurs.”
Agents responsible for on-site dispatch have their driving capabilities, necessary for actual duties, verified from the hiring stage. New applicants are evaluated comprehensively on vehicle driving and parking, and vehicle operation skills. This year, about 400 people applied. After confirming the basic competencies required for dispatch sites before work begins, the company links them to job-specific safety training after hiring.
After joining the company, it conducts practice-focused safety training that reflects job characteristics. For example, it operates specialized motorcycle safety training in partnership with a professional training institution for dispatch agents with less than one year of service who use motorcycles. The program covers the basics of safe driving, vehicle inspections, proper riding posture, braking and obstacle avoidance, and other content needed for real-world operation.
Along with hands-on training using actual equipment and vehicles, it is also strengthening experiential safety training that uses digital technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR). SK shieldus is creating VR content that closely mirrors actual work situations—such as safety rules during tasks, use of protective equipment, and responses to on-site risk factors—so that employees can experience various hazardous situations in a virtual environment and learn response methods.
Shin U-cheol, chief safety and health officer (CSPO) at SK shieldus, said, “We will establish safety as a core value practiced by all employees and, by reflecting voices from the field, continue to spread a culture in which employees themselves practice safety in everyday life.”
