[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The 'Daegu City Anti-Corruption Council in the Safety Sector' was launched on the 9th to eradicate formalistic safety management and the practice of ignoring safety.

The Daegu City Anti-Corruption Council in the Safety Sector, which includes a total of 22 organizations such as Daegu City, each district and county, the City Office of Education, four local public enterprises, and eight specialized institutions, is a consultative body that oversees and supports anti-corruption work in the local safety sector.

With the launch of this council, a cooperative system will be established through networking among related organizations for role-sharing and information sharing for safety corruption surveys, joint inspections, and other collaborations. It will also oversee anti-corruption tasks such as selecting priority tasks considering the level of risk of safety corruption confirmed through the survey.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety formed the 'Pan-Government Anti-Corruption Council in the Safety Sector,' a consultative body between central ministries and cities/provinces, in October 2018 as part of the government's important anti-corruption policy 'Eradication of Everyday Evils' to eliminate 'safety corruption.' Through this, when safety accidents are a concern due to the relaxation or abolition of existing regulations or insufficient regulations, safety regulations have been adjusted in cooperation with related ministries.

Choi Sam-ryong, Director of the Daegu City Citizen Safety Office, stated, "We will actively work with the council to eradicate chronic safety neglect practices and illegal acts that threaten citizens' lives and to establish a safety culture."
