Gwangju Seo-gu Council Conducts On-site Inspection of Safety Vulnerable Areas During Thawing Season

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Seo-gu Council of Gwangju Metropolitan City (Chairman Kim Taeyoung) has conducted on-site inspections of safety-vulnerable areas in the district to mark the thawing season.

According to Seo-gu Council on the 9th, council members visited the mixed-use residential and commercial construction site in Nongsong-dong and the steep retaining wall area of Yeomju Mansion in Hwajeong-dong the day before.

This visit was conducted together with heads of related Seo-gu departments and the safety management advisory group to proactively prevent accidents by inspecting the safety management status of vulnerable facilities such as construction sites and steep slopes.

At the Junghae Maru Hill mixed-use residential and commercial construction site in Nongsong-dong, they checked for collapse and fall hazards such as safety railings, work platforms, scaffolding, and props.

Since the retaining wall facility of Yeomju Mansion in Hwajeong-dong is a steep slope, special attention was paid to the occurrence of structural loss, collapse, cracks, and subsidence.

Kim Taeyoung, chairman of Seo-gu Council, said, "Accidents at construction sites and steep slopes can potentially escalate into major disasters, so safety inspections must be conducted to prevent accidents in advance," adding, "Seo-gu Council will strengthen on-site governance and efforts to raise awareness about safety negligence among residents to protect their lives and property."

Meanwhile, Seo-gu Council plans to conduct on-site safety inspections of 18 steep slope and construction sites until the 19th during the thawing season.
