"Construction Equipment Operator License Medical Examination Now Available Anywhere Nationwide"

Gwangju City Hall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 19th that, starting from the 3rd of last month, according to the revision of the Enforcement Rules of the Construction Machinery Management Act, the aptitude test for construction machinery operator licenses, which previously had to be taken at the city, county, or district office with jurisdiction over the registered address, can now be taken anywhere nationwide regardless of the address.

The aptitude test for construction machinery operator licenses has been in effect since March 19 of last year. Holders of a construction machinery operator license must bring ▲ their existing construction machinery operator license ▲ two photos taken within the last 6 months ▲ a physical examination report (or a Class 1 or higher driver's license) to take the aptitude test every 10 years (every 5 years for those aged 65 or older).

If the regular aptitude test is not taken, a fine of up to 500,000 KRW may be imposed, or the license may be revoked.

Lee Hang-guk, Director of the Construction Administration Division, said, “Since the aptitude test for construction machinery operator licenses can now be taken anywhere nationwide, we hope that eligible persons take the test within the designated period to avoid any disadvantages due to expiration.”
