<Paradigm Shift to Preventive and Autonomous Safety Management>

KR is spreading the safety management culture centered on guidance and prevention beyond just

response-driven safety control. As part of that, the DFS* was introduced to consider worker safety from the

design stage and have the architects be responsible for safety management. It is being applied to design of

all projects. Moreover, KR operates the Safety-Call system which enables field workers to notify dangerous

situations on the railway construction sites anonymously to create the voluntary safety management

environment, thereby rapidly conducting reports on potential risks and taking countermeasures.​ 

<Develop IT-Based Smart Safety Management System>

KR is operating the smart safety management system to ensure more professional safety control.

The ICT-based smart railway safety management system makes it easy to check the location of

workers and equipment, control project history, evaluate risk level, and manage vulnerable places,

which enhance efficiency in safety management. Moreover, it developed the risk prediction system

to build the database of the accident case analysis and the risk factors of each work and notify the

risk factors for each process to the field through a text message in advance. The CCTV management

system enables the inspection of sites in real-time through CCTV without having to visit the site and

investigate the risk factors to take the countermeasures. 

<Establish a System for the Safety of Operating Line Workers>

KR has developed the two-way automatic control signal system (installed it in three places and

plan to install in one place in Gyeongui Line) to prevent accidents caused by human error such as

misunderstanding of signal that may occur when the line is operated by hand signal between two

stations when the train drives in reverse direction. The tunnel warning system was expanded to general

railways as well as high-speed railways and activating an alert 30 seconds before trains enter the tunnel

is mandatory. KR will strive to fundamentally remove risk factors at all worksites.
