Sejong Conducts Safety Inspections and COVID-19 Infection Prevention at 8 Large Construction Sites

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City announced on the 20th that it will conduct safety inspections on eight large construction sites within the jurisdiction from the 20th to the 22nd.

The safety inspections are carried out as a preventive measure to avoid accidents similar to the fire at the Icheon logistics warehouse construction site.

The main inspection items include ▲ safety management status of cut and fill sections ▲ status of safety facilities in structures and excavation sections ▲ inspection of structural damage, cracks, and interior and exterior finishing materials ▲ structural safety adequacy of steel materials ▲ electrical facilities and grounding status ▲ appropriateness of fire extinguishers and automatic fire suppression system installation.

In particular, during the inspection period, the city will also check ▲ whether there is an infection response plan ▲ workplace and personal hygiene management ▲ presence of overseas incoming workers, to prevent the inflow and spread of COVID-19 infections at construction sites.

Minor issues found during the inspection will be corrected on-site, and construction sites with a high risk of safety accidents or infection occurrence will be reported to the relevant departments to immediately establish safety countermeasures and monitored until follow-up measures are completed.

Kang Sung-gi, Director of the Citizen Safety Office of the city, said, “We urge construction personnel to pre-inspect the safety management status at the site and check whether there are any shortcomings in COVID-19 quarantine activities.”
