Safety and Health Management System and Policy
HL D&I Halla became the first company in the Korean construction industry to obtain ISO 45001 certification and has proactively established an advanced safety and health management system that meets global standards.
The Company aims to establish a sustainable safety and health management system encompassing not only employees and subcontractors, but also stakeholders throughout the value chain, including shareholders, customers, and local communities.
In 2026, HL D&I Halla established “Providing a Safe Working Environment through Thorough Compliance with Fundamentals and Principles” as its management policy and systematically operates medium- to long-term safety and health strategies and detailed implementation plans based on this policy.
In particular, the Company continues to improve its systems and introduce best practices based on safety and health strategies established with the approval of the Board of Directors and other highest decision-making bodies.
HL D&I Halla also transparently discloses the status of its safety and health management system certifications and its Quality, Environment and Safety Policy through its website and Sustainability Report, thereby strengthening stakeholder trust.
Safety and Health Promotion Framework
To achieve its core 2026 objective of “Zero Serious Accidents” and maximize the execution of safety and health activities at worksites, HL D&I Halla established five strategic focus areas under the theme of BASIC.
Each strategy encompasses the establishment of a safety and health culture grounded in fundamentals, principles, and smart technology-based intelligent management, providing a foundation for HL D&I Halla’s differentiated safety and health management activities.
2026 Safety and Health Goals and Strategies
HL D&I Halla has established a long-term vision for 2028 of realizing sustainable safety and health management that achieves zero serious accidents through proactive responses and technological innovation. To achieve this vision, the Company has established and is implementing three key action tasks.
The Company aims to maximize autonomous safety and health management capabilities at worksites and enhance the effectiveness of safety and health management by establishing a smart technology-based prevention system.
Major Worksite Safety and Health Risks and Impacts
Distribution of Standard Work Safety Procedures
HL D&I Halla newly established and distributed standardized work safety procedures for major high-risk work activities at construction sites. Through these procedures, the Company proactively prevents potential risks from the pre-work stage and strengthens the foundation for systematic safety and health management.
The procedures standardize safety and health management standards that may otherwise differ among individual worksites, thereby establishing a consistent company-wide safety and health management system. They also ensure that work planning and inspections are conducted based on the same standards, with the aim of embedding a unified safety and health culture.
The work safety procedures set out the purpose of each procedure, work processes, clear work standards, and compliance requirements so that on-site personnel can immediately identify and respond to risk factors.
Based on these procedures, HL D&I Halla plans to establish phased management standards and safety and health measures for each type of work and strengthen the autonomous safety and health management capabilities of subcontractors.

Serious Accident Prevention Practice Resolution Meeting
HL D&I Halla regularly operates the Serious Accident Prevention Practice Resolution Meeting to communicate management’s firm commitment to safety and health and encourage voluntary safety practices among all employees.
In 2025, the Company held a total of 433 resolution meetings encompassing the head office and all worksites under the slogan “Safety and Health, Everyone’s Practice, Now Becomes Capability.” Through these meetings, HL D&I Halla reinforced the internal stability of its safety and health management system.
Beyond simply making resolutions, the meetings serve as a practical communication channel for strengthening on-site execution. In particular, management directly listens to the opinions of workers at construction sites and operates a systematic feedback management process to promptly incorporate those opinions into company-wide safety and health activities, thereby strengthening stakeholder trust.
The Company also shares the results of the monthly Today’s Check Point program to ensure that outstanding safety and health practices from individual worksites are disseminated horizontally across all worksites.
Through action-oriented programs—including the recitation of the Serious Accident Prevention Practice Resolution by employees, awards for exemplary workers, and joint inspections of high-risk work areas—HL D&I Halla will continue to establish a safety and health culture in which all workers can work with confidence and strengthen execution toward its Zero Serious Accidents goal.

Outstanding Practice
100-day Resolution for Zero Serious Accidents
To maintain an accident-free record through year-end and achieve zero serious accidents, HL D&I Halla launched the “Serious Accident OUT – Achieving 122 Days” campaign on September 1, 2025.
The campaign was implemented over the remaining 122 days of the year to concentrate company-wide safety and health capabilities on fundamentally preventing serious accidents and building strong consensus on uncompromising safety practices, from management to on-site workers.
In particular, the Company focused on strengthening the responsible safety management of supervisors and raising workers’ safety and health awareness to promote a culture of voluntary safety and health compliance.
Through this company-wide participatory campaign, HL D&I Halla reinforced the execution of its safety and health objectives and will continue to make every effort to create a safe working environment in which all stakeholders can have confidence.
TEN! TEN! Safety Campaign
HL D&I Halla operates the worksite-centered, action-oriented TEN! TEN! Safety Campaign to create a pleasant and safe working environment.
The campaign is a prevention-centered safety culture initiative in which all workers voluntarily participate to closely manage risk factors before and after work and improve compliance with fundamental safety rules at worksites.
Under the slogan “Remove Risk Factors for 10 Minutes Before Work and Conduct 10 Minutes of Housekeeping After Work,” workers intensively inspect fall and electric shock hazards and the condition of equipment within the relevant work area for 10 minutes before starting work, thereby proactively preventing accidents.
For 10 minutes after work is completed, workers conduct systematic housekeeping to secure the safety of the subsequent process.
Each subcontractor also recommends and rewards workers who demonstrate outstanding performance in TEN! TEN! activities. These initiatives go beyond simple housekeeping and serve as an opportunity for workers to internalize autonomous safety management capabilities by identifying and improving risk factors themselves.
Through the company-wide expansion of the TEN! TEN! Safety Campaign, HL D&I Halla will minimize potential on-site risks and establish an action-oriented safety management system that enables all workers to internalize safety.

Regional Joint Management Councils
HL D&I Halla regularly operates Regional Joint Management Councils to establish an organic communication system between the head office and worksites and closely manage on-site safety and health conditions.
Each council is attended by the regional leader and working-level personnel from the head office Safety and Health Team. Participants share outstanding and non-compliant cases identified through worksite inspections and conduct practical discussions to improve safety awareness from multiple perspectives, including facilities, culture, and training.
To ensure the effectiveness of the councils, personnel who fail to attend are required to submit a statement of explanation, and attendance is systematically managed.
In 2025, the Company implemented differentiated activities reflecting the characteristics of each region. In April, at the council for Seoul metropolitan region 2, each worksite presented recurrence prevention measures based on actual disaster and near-miss cases, strengthening practical response capabilities.
In September, at the council for Seoul metropolitan region 1, the Company invited the editor-in-chief of Korea International Construction and Industrial Safety Expo to provide the latest safety trends to worksite personnel.
At the final council held at year-end, the head office Safety and Health Team and regional leaders reviewed the year’s performance and shared the 2026 direction based on HL D&I Halla’s unique BASIC safety management strategy, reinforcing the execution of company-wide safety strategies.
Going forward, the Company will activate closer feedback loops between the head office and worksites, bridge the gap between strategy and practice, and complete an advanced, worksite-centered safety and health management system.

Promoting the Health of On-site Workers
Occupational Disease Prevention Programs
HL D&I Halla considers workers’ health and lives to be its highest management priority and systematically conducts regular work environment measurements and health examinations in cooperation with specialized medical institutions.
In particular, the Company operates customized health programs reflecting the characteristics of each worksite, thereby establishing a robust foundation for worker health management.
To prevent hearing and respiratory diseases, safety and health signs are installed in areas where noise and dust are generated, and personal protective equipment is made readily available to create an environment in which workers can voluntarily wear protective equipment.
To prevent musculoskeletal disorders, the Company identifies risk factors in advance through hazardous factor assessments when introducing new processes and provides training on appropriate posture and work methods suited to each task when workers perform physically demanding work.
Work in confined spaces, where the risk of serious accidents is high, is classified as high-risk work and is subject to a strict Pre-work Permit System.
In addition, special safety training and gas concentration measurement training are mandatory, and regular emergency drills are conducted to strengthen worksites’ emergency response capabilities.
In 2025, HL D&I Halla expanded participation in its health prevention programs, further improving the effectiveness of health management activities. Going forward, the Company will continue to advance its prevention-centered health management system to create healthy worksites where all personnel can work with confidence.
Performance of Health Programs for On-site Workers
Health Management Activities during Extreme Heat and Severe Cold
HL D&I Halla establishes and operates proactive health management measures to protect workers from seasonal health hazards, including heatwaves and cold waves caused by climate change.
During summer heatwaves, each worksite records the perceived temperature and the implementation status of mandatory health measures in real time through the Smart Risk Assessment Platform. This enables an integrated monitoring system that organically connects the head office and worksites.
Through this system, the Company continuously manages seasonal risks such as heat-related illnesses caused by high-temperature exposure and immediately implements response measures based on weather conditions, thereby protecting workers’ safety and right to health without interruption.

Management of Elderly Workers
To prevent safety risks associated with the aging of the on-site workforce, HL D&I Halla implements health guidelines tailored to elderly workers.
The Company closely reviews each worker’s basic health status from the recruitment stage. Following assignment to a worksite, it conducts regular health monitoring, including weekly blood pressure and blood glucose measurements, to manage underlying conditions and signs of health abnormalities.
In particular, the Company has institutionalized the submission and review of daily management plans that carefully examine workers’ condition each morning before work. When abnormal symptoms are identified, an immediate response system is activated, including work adjustments and the provision of rest.
From an operational perspective, HL D&I Halla expands rest periods and flexibly operates working hours to reduce the physical burden on elderly workers.
The Company also strictly complies with the principle of excluding elderly workers from high-risk work and requiring work in teams of two, thereby preventing workers from working alone and strengthening mutual protection at worksites.
Going forward, HL D&I Halla will continue to improve company-wide safety capabilities by establishing an inclusive and safe work environment suited to an aging society.
Work Prohibited for Elderly Workers
Work at locations with a risk of falling from a height of at least 2 meters

Safety and Health Training
HL D&I Halla operates customized training programs optimized for worksite characteristics, going beyond legally required training, to strengthen the professional safety and health capabilities of all personnel.
In particular, the Company conducts workshops and Mind-Set Training for safety and health managers and supervisors in the first and second halves of each year, thereby cultivating execution-oriented safety and health leadership.
In the first half of 2025, the Company held a practice-focused workshop covering worksite activity plans and the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. The workshop recorded a high satisfaction score of 4.72.
In the second half, HL D&I Halla promoted knowledge sharing among worksites through presentations on safety psychology and outstanding practices, achieving a satisfaction score of 4.59 and confirming the effectiveness of the training.
The Company also provides first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for on-site supervisors to strengthen immediate initial response capabilities in emergencies and reinforces role-based training for supervisors to raise company-wide safety and health awareness.
In addition to regular safety and health programs, HL D&I Halla makes digital training content covering actual worksite accident types and response methods available at all times through internal channels, enabling workers to learn independently without time or location constraints.
Going forward, the Company will continue to provide customized training based on worksite characteristics and regularly update content with a focus on practical applicability, thereby accelerating the internalization of a company-wide safety and health culture.

Emergency Response Drills
HL D&I Halla conducts regular emergency response drills to prepare for various disaster scenarios that may occur at construction sites and to review and improve the effectiveness of its initial response system.
In the first and second halves of 2025, the Company conducted customized emergency response drills at 37 worksites nationwide, reflecting the specific characteristics of each site. Each worksite independently selected high-risk factors that were likely to occur under its operating conditions and developed realistic disaster scenarios for the drills.
The drills focused on ensuring a prompt and accurate initial response upon the occurrence of a hazard. They were conducted by reviewing the appropriateness of initial response manuals and assessing each participant’s ability to perform the duties assigned through individual role cards.
Through these exercises, workers and supervisors strengthened their ability to respond appropriately from their respective positions to various disaster scenarios, including falls, collapses, and fires, thereby enhancing their practical response capabilities in actual emergencies.
