[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, which is promoting the nation’s first pilot project to support safety management agency services for LP gas usage facilities, held a project briefing session and is beginning full-scale operations.

The county announced on the 24th that on the afternoon of the 23rd, it held a pilot project briefing session in the large conference room attended by about 40 people, including gas suppliers within Sancheong-gun as well as suppliers from other regions supplying gas to the county.

The briefing session aimed to enhance the understanding of gas supply companies regarding this pilot project, which is being implemented for the first time nationwide by Sancheong-gun and Gyeongnam Province.

The LP gas facility safety management agency pilot project is being promoted to prevent accidents in households using LP gas, which is relatively vulnerable in terms of safety management compared to city gas, as well as to realize energy welfare.

Through this pilot project, the county plans to swiftly introduce and establish the LP gas facility safety management agency system and modernize the safety management system to bring it up to the level of city gas.

The LP gas usage facility safety management agency system is a system designed to prevent safety accidents caused by gas leaks through regular safety inspections of each household’s gas equipment.

Once the system is implemented, the safety management agency will perform tasks such as status management and safety inspections of LP gas usage facilities, emergency measures for hazards, customer complaint management including gas leak reports, and safety use promotion to prevent gas accidents.

Starting this year, the county will promote the safety management agency project targeting about 20,000 households in the region with an annual project budget of 315 million KRW, supported by Gyeongnam Province.

Kim Myung-moon, Director of the Economic Strategy Division, said, “For establishing an advanced and systematic LP gas facility safety management system, the active participation of all suppliers providing gas to Sancheong-gun is more important than anything else,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure the smooth operation of this pilot project, which is the first nationwide, to enhance the safety and convenience of local residents.”
