We selected and executed several important tasks in order to enhance our competitiveness and power of execution in the areas of ESH. In this way, we want to continuously seek a balance between business activities and ESH issues. VISION Balance between Business Activities and ESH GOAL Enhance Competitiveness and Implementation of ESH CORE TASKS Continue to improve the environment Preemptively respond to domestic & international regulations and issues Reduce pollutants Make efficient use of resources Secure absolute safety Strengthen safety awareness among employees Secure the safety of processing equipment Reinforce fire/explosion prevention system Promote health in a preventive manner Improve the work environment Manage employees with health issues Encourage health promotion activities ESH Management System Each and every plant of LG Chem at home and abroad has set up detailed ESH policies and implemented strategic tasks and targets based on the corporate management principles and company-wide ESH policies. All the policies, as well as the strategic tasks and targets, were decided upon and implemented according to such standardized ESH management systems as ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and KOSHA 18001. We have our ESH management system certified by a third party and make continuous improvements through audits and review. In order to achieve improvements in a more efficient and persistent way, we have integrated and reorganized various systems based on Responsible Care, which is a global, voluntary initiative developed autonomously by the chemical industry. ESH Training A yearly training plan for executives, employees and suppliers is prepared and implemented at LG Chem. We provide an Introductory Course, a Basic Course and an Expert Course, depending on the job title and tasks of the employee. Managers and supervisors must go through a 16-hour course every year, and other employees must go through 24 hours of training courses each year. Some education and training programs target certain subjects such as new recruits, employees assigned with new tasks and employees in charge of special jobs. There is also an emergency drill that should be practiced by every team. Our suppliers and subcontractors accessing our plants receive training on the safety management regulations, emergency evacuation procedures and safety measures required by each job as well, either on their first visit or on a regular basis. Risk Management LG Chem has developed the risk management (RM) guideline based on the global standard codes. The RM guideline of LG Chem consists of 13 chapters which are largely divided into four areas : Buildings, Fire Protection, Human Life Safety and Dangerous Facilities (Special Hazards). This Guideline is used for the risk management of business sites and in the decision making for new project investments with the goal of securing the best risk management abilities and reducing long-term costs.
