[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Korea Asset Management Corporation (KAMCO) announced on the 20th that it conducted a special safety inspection on the Narakeum Jungbu Tax Office development site on the 19th.


The Narakeum Jungbu Tax Office development project is a state-owned entrusted development project to rebuild the existing old government office into a public complex building. With a total project cost of 39.5 billion KRW, the building will have a total floor area of 10,538㎡, 6 floors above ground, and 5 floors underground, scheduled for completion in October this year.


This special safety inspection was carried out in the spring (thawing period), when construction, which had slowed down during winter, is in full swing, to protect workers from safety accidents and to emphasize the need to practice a safety-first management policy at the site.


Especially since the Narakeum Jungbu Tax Office development site is located in the city center and requires thorough prevention of safety accidents, KAMCO’s Chief Safety Manager, Vice President Namju Kwon, checked the compliance with basic safety facilities and rules, and held a site meeting to discuss inspection results and improvements.


On that day, KAMCO inspected the overall management status, including basic safety facilities, preventive measures against temporary facility collapse, installation status of fall prevention facilities, fire and explosion accident prevention measures, and compliance with COVID-19 quarantine rules.



Vice President Kwon said, "In spring, small carelessness at construction sites can lead to major accidents," and added, "We plan to conduct special safety inspections at all development projects so that site workers and the public can feel safe."
