[Alpha Biz= Kim Jisun] Seoul, Sept. 3 — Yoon-Hong Heo, CEO of GS Engineering & Construction (GS E&C), issued an apology on Tuesday following the death of a worker at a construction site in Seoul.



“This is an intolerable incident, and we will conduct a thorough investigation,” Heo stated in a letter of apology released under his name.



GS E&C announced that it has immediately suspended all operations at the accident site and will launch a company-wide special inspection to identify and eliminate safety risks at all of its construction sites.
