Annual Occupational Health and Safety Training Plan
EGCO Group implemented the annual Occupational Health and Safety training plan to strengthen employee capability in responding to emergency situations.
The training programs included work-related disease awareness (Occupational disease) and Basic Life Support (BLS), covering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), and choking response techniques.
More than 100 employees participated in the training, gaining enhanced knowledge of work-related diseases, developing practical first-aid skills, and improving their readiness to respond effectively to medical emergencies.
Benefits of the Project
- Improve employee preparedness for medical emergency response.
- Raise awareness and understanding of work-related diseases.
Implementation Approach
- Organize training on work-related disease awareness and Basic Life Support.
Building a Proactive Safety Culture Across EGCO Group's International Joint Venture Power Operations Programs for Power Plants
In 2025, EGCO Group implemented Occupational Health and Safety programs across joint ventures and power plants in the Philippines and the Republic of Korea to strengthen workplace safety and emergency preparedness.
Training activities at San Buenaventura Power Ltd. Co. (SBPL) included chlorine safety, permit-to-work and lock-out/tag-out procedures, confined space safety, fire and medical emergency drills, and drug-free workplace seminars. Paju Energy Services Company Limited (Paju) conducted emergency response drills, fire suppression training, process safety management training, and hazardous chemical spill response exercises. Additional activities included safety orientations, toolbox meetings, inspections, alcohol testing, and health awareness sessions for employees, contractors, and visitors. The programs were implemented through classroom training, practical exercises, drills, and regular monitoring activities to support ISO 45001:2018 compliance and reinforce a proactive safety culture across operations.
Benefits of the Project
- Strengthen workplace safety awareness among employees and contractors.
- Improve emergency preparedness and operational risk response capability.
- Support compliance with ISO 45001:2018 through regular safety monitoring activities.
Implementation Approach
- Conduct classroom training, practical exercises, and emergency response drills.
- Implement regular inspections and testing of safety equipment.
- Expand safety orientation and monitoring activities to employees and contractors.
