Formulation and Progress Report on Recurrence Prevention Measures for Unauthorized Qualification Acquisition

Overview of the Incident and Causes

An external investigation committee revealed applications and false registrations for qualifications such as supervisory engineers and fire protection equipment technicians that did not meet work experience requirements. Underlying issues include a trend of undervaluing practical experience, a closed organizational culture, and failure of control mechanisms, recognized as company-wide challenges.

Formulation of Recurrence Prevention Measures and Promotion System

In September 2025, a 'Recurrence Prevention Task Force for Unauthorized Qualification Acquisition' was established with the president as its leader, implementing seven major initiatives including organizational culture reform, strengthening education and training, unifying qualification application windows, and enhancing risk management. A dual approval system for qualification applications is scheduled to be operational from April 2026.

Organizational Reform and Strengthening of Education and Training

Implemented company-wide workshops for raising awareness among management, workplace dialogue initiatives, and revamped compliance education programs under external supervision. Continuous training is also conducted for officers including outside directors to enhance risk sensitivity.

Responses to Clients and Ordering Parties

For ongoing and completed projects involving unqualified personnel, responsible staff were replaced with qualified personnel per supervisory authority instructions. Investigation reports have been explained to clients with cooperation requests made. Falsified registrations in the construction performance information system have been corrected.
