[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Chang-woo Lee) is launching an emergency safety inspection to prevent accidents at demolition sites.


Concerns among residents are growing as safety accidents continue to occur at demolition sites, including the recent collapse of a building under demolition in a redevelopment area in Dong-gu, Gwangju.


This inspection will be conducted until the 30th to prevent accidents through an emergency inspection of demolition sites.


The inspection targets 12 private demolition sites in the area, including single-family, multi-family, and multiplex houses currently being demolished.


The district will check ▲whether safety measures such as protective screens and fences have been implemented ▲compliance with the order of demolition work by floor and location ▲preparation and adherence to the demolition work safety management plan ▲and other safety-related onsite hazards.


Depending on the inspection results, minor issues will be corrected immediately onsite, while serious defects will be subject to correction orders and follow-up verification. If not complied with, strong administrative measures will be taken according to relevant regulations.


Im Chang-seop, the Safety and Disaster Officer, said, “Accidents at demolition sites can cause serious human and property damage. We will thoroughly manage and supervise to prevent building collapse accidents through proactive prevention and systematic management.”



Meanwhile, the district established the ‘Plan to Strengthen Safety Management for Small and Medium-sized Private Construction Sites’ in April and has been implementing it since May, systematically managing demolition sites including mandatory CCTV installation at demolition sites.
