Samsung C&amp;T E&amp;C Group is responding with strengthened safety guidelines aimed at preventing heat-related illnesses and ensuring healthier work conditions during Korea\u2019s hottest months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proactive Cooling, Flexible Scheduling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung C&amp;T now mandates rest periods when the perceived temperature reaches 31\u00b0C or higher, and encourages daily health checks before work begins. If any worker reports symptoms such as dizziness or headaches due to the heat, the site will immediately halt work to allow adequate rest. All workers are reminded of their right to stop work at any time if they experience symptoms of heat-related illness. Outdoor operations are avoided between 2 PM and 5 PM, the hottest time of day, in favor of indoor tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To support these efforts, the company has installed rest areas within a two-minute walking distance from every work zone. Temporary rest stations are also added in locations with limited access. These facilities are equipped with air conditioning, drinking water, and glucose supplements. On sites with a high number of female workers, separate rest areas have been provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For high-exposure tasks such as welding or concrete pouring, the company distributes personal cooling gear, including ice vests, cooling fans, and neck coolers. Temperature data from both the Korea Meteorological Administration and on-site sensors are compared in real time, with the higher reading used to guide safety decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-carousel-v2 cb-carousel-block\" data-cb-slides-per-view=\"1\" data-cb-slides-per-group=\"1\" data-cb-space-between=\"20\" data-cb-speed=\"300\" data-cb-navigation=\"true\" data-cb-pagination=\"true\" data-cb-loop=\"true\" data-cb-autoplay=\"true\" data-cb-autoplay-speed=\"3000\" data-cb-breakpoints=\"{&quot;768&quot;:{&quot;slidesPerView&quot;:2,&quot;slidesPerGroup&quot;:1}}\"><div class=\"swiper\"><div class=\"cb-wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-slide-v2 cb-slide swiper-slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Building-in-the-Heat-How-Samsung-CT-Is-Protecting-Construction-Workers-This-Summer_3.jpg\" alt=\"A construction worker in a shaded, air-conditioned booth labeled \u201ctraffic guide station,\u201d located at a Samsung C&amp;T construction site with ongoing steelwork.\" class=\"wp-image-52291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Building-in-the-Heat-How-Samsung-CT-Is-Protecting-Construction-Workers-This-Summer_3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Building-in-the-Heat-How-Samsung-CT-Is-Protecting-Construction-Workers-This-Summer_3-500x320.jpg 500w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Building-in-the-Heat-How-Samsung-CT-Is-Protecting-Construction-Workers-This-Summer_3-768x492.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Samsung C&#038;T has installed air-conditioned booths for traffic controllers on site, offering protection from direct heat exposure during peak hours<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-slide-v2 cb-slide swiper-slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Building-in-the-Heat-How-Samsung-CT-Is-Protecting-Construction-Workers-This-Summer_2.jpg\" alt=\"Construction workers in safety vests receiving cooling supplies and information at a Samsung C&amp;T heat safety campaign booth with posters and banners.\" class=\"wp-image-52290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Building-in-the-Heat-How-Samsung-CT-Is-Protecting-Construction-Workers-This-Summer_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Building-in-the-Heat-How-Samsung-CT-Is-Protecting-Construction-Workers-This-Summer_2-500x320.jpg 500w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/Building-in-the-Heat-How-Samsung-CT-Is-Protecting-Construction-Workers-This-Summer_2-768x492.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On-site safety campaigns include interactive booths, where workers receive cooling supplies and are reminded of key heat safety practices<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"cb-pagination swiper-pagination\"><\/div><div class=\"cb-button-prev swiper-button-prev\"><\/div><div class=\"cb-button-next swiper-button-next\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promoting Awareness and a Culture of Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond operational changes, Samsung C&amp;T is reinforcing heat safety through on-site campaigns and educational initiatives.
