Gimhae City to Conduct Comprehensive Survey on LP Gas Facility Management by April

Regular Inspections and Non-Inspection Use Facilities Targeting 32,500 Locations

Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, is conducting a full-scale survey on the management status of LP gas facilities.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 16th that it will conduct a full survey on the management status of LP gas facilities.

This is because awareness of the importance of gas accident prevention has increased due to recent gas explosion accidents in detached houses in the Changwon area.

First, a full survey will be conducted on whether the 2,500 gas usage facilities subject to legally mandated regular inspections have complied with inspections by the Korea Gas Safety Corporation.

For the 30,000 non-inspected gas usage facilities with a high risk of gas accidents, special safety inspections will be conducted by gas suppliers.

Facilities found to be non-compliant due to failure to undergo inspection or gas leakage will be immediately improved, and administrative measures such as fines, business suspension, and supply suspension will be taken after corrective actions for legal violations by gas suppliers and users.

Additionally, a demand survey will be conducted in parallel to expand the gas facility improvement project for general households next year.

A city official stated, “We will distribute promotional materials to establish voluntary inspections of LP gas facilities and raise safety awareness,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure safety management through regular full surveys of LP gas facilities.”
