Daily Union (Monthly, Korea News Newspaper) Ju-un Journalist | CEO Park Hyun-chul, Lotte Engineering & Construction, Seocho-gu Youth Housing Construction Site...Workers crash and die, resulting in 'severe disaster’

A death accident occurred at the construction site of a youth house in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, which is the largest in the Gangnam area built by Lotte Engineering & Construction.

On November 27, 2023, at around 2:30 p.m., a worker in his 50s fell 10m down during his work and was taken to a hospital, but died.

The youth housing construction site in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, where the accident occurred, will be the largest youth housing (publicly supported private rental housing) in the Gangnam area, which began construction in February 2023.

An official at Seocho Police Station in Seoul is investigating the exact circumstances of the accident based on eyewitness statements that "the ventricle fell and fell together." In addition, the Ministry of Employment and Labor will investigate whether Lotte Engineering & Construction violated the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Serious Accident Punishment Act.

Listening to the death of A, a worker in his 50s at a youth housing construction site in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, some wonder whether Lotte Engineering & Construction will apply and implement the goal of "contributing to love, trust, and enrichment of mankind and adding value of life" to worker A to practice ESG management for sustainable development.
