Gwangju Buk-gu, Joint Public-Private Safety Inspection of Multi-Use Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 8th that it will conduct intensive safety management inspections on multi-use facilities such as traditional markets, large supermarkets, and movie theaters, where many residents are expected to gather during the Lunar New Year holiday period, until the 17th.

This inspection was prepared to raise awareness of facility management and to prevent various safety accidents by preemptively checking risk factors, as accidents in multi-use facilities can lead to major disasters. The inspection will be conducted together with private experts in the fields of architecture, electricity, and firefighting.

The inspection targets a total of 17 locations including traditional markets, large supermarkets, and movie theaters. The main inspection items include ▲checking for illegal buildings ▲checking for wiring defects, operation of leakage circuit breakers, and maintenance status of electrical and mechanical rooms ▲securing evacuation routes and proper operation of evacuation facilities ▲compliance with legal standards and safety in each field.

In particular, considering the recent club collapse accident in Gwangju and the fact that fires frequently occur in multi-use facilities, Buk-gu plans to carefully examine inspection items related to architecture, electricity, and gas fields. According to the inspection results, minor issues will be corrected immediately on site, and serious issues will be intensively managed until the risk factors are resolved.

District Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, “We will conduct thorough inspections to raise awareness of safety negligence, which can easily be overlooked, and to prevent safety accidents.”
