Safety as Culture, Right, and Responsibility
Speaking at keo nha cai bong da ceremony, Ms. Nguyen Trinh Thuy Trang, Deputy CEO of Coteccons, emphasized that at Coteccons, keo nha cai bong da principle “If it is not safe, stop work” is not merely a slogan but a core operating rule. Safety engineers are empowered to halt construction to protect workers, and workers themselves are encouraged to refuse tasks that pose potential risks. This mindset transforms safety from a regulation into a voluntary daily practice.

In keo nha cai bong da opening documentary of keo nha cai bong da event, a Coteccons safety engineer shared a perspective often perceived as that of a “villain” on construction sites—someone who constantly reminds and enforces compliance. Yet, this strictness helps workers build awareness and refuse to work at unsafe, poorly protected sites. keo nha cai bong da story reflects a reality in which safety has become a defining cultural value across Coteccons’ projects.
Why Safety?
keo nha cai bong da construction industry is among those with keo nha cai bong da highest rates of occupational accidents. Therefore, Coteccons selected “safety” as keo nha cai bong da central theme of “Xây Tết 2026″ to reaffirm that economic development must go hand in hand with human protection. As a contractor involved in numerous national key projects, Coteccons establishes and maintains stringent safety standards—from regulations and enforcement mechanisms to working conditions—to safeguard tens of thousands of workers and keo nha cai bong da well-being of their families.

Beyond procedures, Coteccons invests heavily in technology and training. AI-powered cameras monitor helmet use, safety harness compliance, and alcohol levels; regular training sessions are conducted; rest and cooling areas are provided during extreme heat; and contingency plans are in place for storms and floods. All efforts are directed toward one goal: ensuring safety throughout all 365 days of keo nha cai bong da year so that every worker can return home safely.

“Xây Tết” is not merely a Tet welfare program; it is an integral part of keo nha cai bong da Social pillar in Coteccons’ ESG strategy. After three seasons, keo nha cai bong da program has become a collaborative platform involving ministries, organizations, and enterprises, spreading genuine care for workers beyond Coteccons itself.
More importantly, Xây Tết fosters a culture of gratitude—honoring keo nha cai bong da workers behind monumental constructions and reshaping societal perceptions of keo nha cai bong da construction profession. When recognition becomes a shared value, investments and compliance in safety are carried out voluntarily, creating sustainable impacts that cannot be measured by numbers alone.

Ms. Nguyen Trinh Thuy Trang:
As a public company, Coteccons operates under third-party supervision through independent audits. We publicly disclose data, processes, and outcomes on our official channels and invite keo nha cai bong da media, partners, and workers to directly monitor program implementation. In addition, “Xây Tết” is supported by reputable partners such as Nhan Dan Newspaper, Co.opmart, Long Chau, and in cooperation with keo nha cai bong da Saigon Times Foundation to evaluate and certify standards—for example, in keo nha cai bong da scholarship programs for workers’ children. keo nha cai bong da involvement of multiple stakeholders not only enhances oversight but also strengthens community trust.
