[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province is set to conduct safety inspections at 67 large construction sites.

Yongin City announced on the 11th that it will carry out safety inspections at 67 large construction sites, including the Giheung ICT Valley SK V1 Knowledge Industry Center, by the 21st to prevent accidents during the thawing season.

By type of construction site, there are 9 civil engineering sites, 44 building construction sites, and 14 suspended construction sites.

The city will especially focus on 10 sites with high risks of collapse during the thawing season, such as large-scale cutting and filling or underground excavation, like the Suji Skyview Prugio Apartment retaining wall temporary construction site. A joint inspection team composed of the safety guidance inspection team, facility management department, and city safety advisory group will conduct concentrated inspections.

If the inspection results indicate a high risk of disaster requiring urgent safety measures, the city plans to guide repairs and reinforcements on-site. Additionally, construction sites with negligent safety management will be ordered to correct immediately or face strong sanctions such as work stoppage orders in accordance with relevant laws.

Mayor Baek Gun-gi of Yongin emphasized, "Nothing is more important than protecting the safety of citizens," and added, "Ahead of the thawing season, we will thoroughly inspect the safety management status of large construction sites to prevent human and property damage."
