President Lee orders investigation into POSCO E&C industrial accidents

President Lee Jae Myung has called for a thorough probe into POSCO E&C following a series of industrial accidents involving its workers.

According to Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung on this Wednesday the president has ordered a detailed review into whether safety protocols were followed and whether the incidents were preventable.

He also instructed officials to look into all possible legal actions including revoking the company's construction license and banning it from public tenders.

Back on Monday a worker was seriously injured at a highway construction site overseen by POSCO E&C.

There have been four losses of lives at the company's construction sites this year.
