  • Environment, Safety, and Health Policy
  • Environmental Management
  • Safety Management
  • Health Management

As a leader in the automotive interior parts industry, Seoyon E-Hwa strives to minimize environmental risks that occur in the entire process of design, production, and sales, including the acquisition of ISO14001.

  • Environmental Policy

    As a leader in the automotive interior parts industry, we establish and implement the following environmental policy to minimize the environmental impact that occurs in the entire process of design, production, and sales.

    • Prior understanding of domestic and overseas environmental compliance/regulatory trends and stakeholder requirements
    • Achieve the advancement of the environmental management system by establishing an environmental management foundation for partners and implementing environmental strategies
    • Establish and implement environmental goals to minimize environmental impact

Directions

  • Operation of Effective Prevention Facilities

    Air Pollutant Management

    During process operation, we strive to minimize air pollutants from the source by substituting subsidiary materials. Prevention facilities are maintained in an optimal condition through periodic inspections. Through this, we are effectively reducing pollutants to 90% or less of the legal emission limit.

  • 3R(Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

    Waste Management

    Seoyon E-Hwa is making efforts to purify and establish the economy by reducing waste at workplaces and promoting recycling. For waste generated at each workplace, we strive to minimize the use of resources and maximize the reuse of resources. Furthermore, we are striving for optimized recycling methods by subdividing wastes by nature and type.

  • ZERO Wastewater Plants

    Water Resource Management

    We are striving to reduce both water and wastewater consumption. As a result, most of it is household water and firefighting water, and the amount of wastewater generated is close to 0. Also, we regularly conduct water quality inspections in conjunction with specialized consigned companies to ensure that our employees drink clean water.

  • Hazardous Chemicals Management

    Since chemical accidents can be directly related to human and material loss, we are striving to prevent accidents in advance through a thorough chemical management process. With continuous process improvement, hazardous/risky substances are substituted with eco-friendly substances, and employees are regularly trained for behavioral tips and work safety rules to prevent exposure. In addition, by periodically updating GHS-MSDS, we support employees to work safely.

Environmental Goals and Progress

In addition to thorough compliance with environmental regulations, detailed goals for each field such as air, water quality, and waste are established and promoted to achieve them.

  • 2020

    Reinforcement of Environmental Regulation Response System

    • Comply with environmental laws and respond to government
    • Identify and reduce company-wide chemical substance usage
    • Establish air/water quality/waste issues and environmental management process

    • 1) The Basis for sanction status in the FY2021 annual report

Seoyon E-Hwa takes the lead in safety and health by acquiring ISO 45001 under the management philosophy of realizing customer satisfaction through creative management with respect for humanity. We will advance together with the local community and customers by strengthening preventive activities and continuously improving safety and health performance.

  • Safety and Health Policy

    As a leader in the automotive interior parts industry, we aim to become a leading company trusted both domestically and abroad that develops together with the local community and customers through compliance with laws and other requirements, reinforcement of preventive activities through process improvement, and continuous improvement of safety and health performance under the management philosophy of “realizing customer satisfaction through creative management with respect for humanity.” Also, in order to achieve the above safety and health policy, we set specific goals as follows and implement them.

    • Continuous improvement of safety/health performance
    • Preventive activities through process improvement
    • Compliance with laws and other requirements

Safety Management Activities

  • icon

    Risks Assessment

    Identify hazards and risk factors in the workplace, and establish reduction measures after estimating and determining the likelihood (frequency) and severity (intensity) of the occurrence of injuries or diseases caused by the hazards and risk factors

  • icon

    Safety Training

    Conduct regular safety and health training for employees, training for safety and health personnel, and safety and health training for employees in special employment types

  • icon

    Workplace Walk-around Inspection

    Conduct inspection of plant lines and hazardous factors in the workplace and partners

Directions

  • Safety and Health Training

    To reinforce safety awareness, we are providing legally required safety training for our employees and business partners.
    In order to raise the right safety awareness and develop safety capabilities, we provide customized training for each job and season, and support employees for their practical and effective work through safety and health training for employees, training for safety and health personnel, and safety and health training for employees in special employment types.

  • Support for Partner Safety and Health Reinforcement

    We provide safety and health information by providing safety consulting and training to our business partners. We conduct walk-around inspections once every two days to prevent disasters that may occur in the contracting business in advance, and find hazardous parts first to take measures to improve them. We also conduct quarterly meetings and joint inspections to raise awareness of safety and prevent accidents.

  • Firefighting Management

    Establishment of Intelligent Fire Management System

    With 2021 as the first year of the establishment of an intelligent manufacturing plant, Seoyon E-Hwa is promoting the intelligence of overall systems such as process, logistics, quality, and safety systems. In particular, for fire safety management, we are developing into a more advanced fire management system by adding the function of real-time monitoring of firefighting facilities in connection with communication devices and the function of sending fire alarms to mobile phones.

  • Fire Prevention Activities

    Being aware of large-scale fires that have occurred recently, we have selected areas vulnerable to fire, analyzed possible causes of fires, and established/improved management plans to prevent them. In particular, since many fires occur due to electricity, we periodically check earth-leakage circuit breakers and prohibit the use of personal air conditioners, heaters, and multi-plug extension adapters. We are also making efforts to minimize damage from fires by installing automatic fire extinguishing devices in areas where electric fires are a concern.

At Seoyon E-Hwa, we take the lead in improving the work environment on a regular basis, creating a safe workplace through periodic health management and consultations and helping employees work in a healthy way.

  • Musculoskeletal Disease Management

    In order to prevent health problems caused by simple repetitive work or work that places an excessive burden on the human body, we regularly conduct a musculoskeletal risk factor survey once every three years. In addition, a rehabilitation treatment program is implemented twice a week for the injured and those who complain of pain to prevent musculoskeletal diseases.

  • Work Environment Measurement and Improvement Measurement

    To protect the health of employees from hazardous factors and create a pleasant work environment, we measure and evaluate exposure to hazardous factors such as noise, dust, and hazardous chemicals through an external professional measuring institution on a regular basis once every half year. We strive to create a pleasant work environment by improving the problems found.
