[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Moon Gisik) announced on the 11th that it will conduct fire safety consulting at 23 large construction sites within the jurisdiction until the 15th to prevent fires and raise safety awareness at large construction sites.

This safety consulting was prepared to prevent similar accidents and strengthen fire safety management at large construction sites following a fire at a logistics warehouse construction site in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province on the 29th of last month, which resulted in multiple casualties.

The main contents include ▲ appropriateness of installation and maintenance of temporary fire facilities ▲ compliance with fire safety rules for handling fire such as welding and cutting work ▲ appropriateness of temporary storage or handling of hazardous materials ▲ obstacles on fire access routes and presence of combustible materials around the construction site ▲ safety education to cultivate safety awareness among construction site personnel.

Chief Moon Gisik said, “Most construction site fires occur due to workers' carelessness,” and added, “Through this safety consulting, we will do our best to raise safety awareness among related personnel and create a safe construction site.”
