Muan Fire Station Conducts Unannounced 'Special Fire Safety Inspections' at Construction Sites

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jeonnam Muan Fire Station (Chief Park Won-guk) announced that from the 4th to the 13th, it will conduct surprise fire safety inspections in cooperation with related organizations at 14 construction sites within the jurisdiction.

This special inspection aims to prevent fires like the one that occurred at the logistics center construction site in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, as construction sites inherently carry fire risks due to handling flammable liquids, and welding and cutting work frequently cause fires from welding sparks.

The main inspection points include whether temporary fire safety facilities are properly installed during fire-risk tasks such as welding and cutting, whether fire safety technicians and supervisors are appropriately assigned at the construction sites, compliance with unauthorized hazardous material handling and small quantity hazardous material handling standards, and fire prevention education for construction site personnel.

Park Won-guk, Chief of Muan Fire Station, said, “Construction sites have a high potential to escalate into large fires from even small sparks,” and added, “We ask all related personnel to strictly follow safety regulations.”
