[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 6th that it has become the first local government in the country to establish a smart safety management system at a water purification plant.

The city invested 100 million won in the project to introduce a safety management system utilizing IT technology in all water treatment processes within the Samgye Water Purification Plant.

This system attaches location information devices to workers, enabling real-time monitoring of the location and hazardous situations (such as falling or collapse) of all workers within the workplace.

By utilizing this, safety accidents can be detected early, allowing the control room to immediately report and swiftly take action on-site.

The city plans to expand the system to other workplaces, starting with the Samgye Water Purification Plant.

A Gimhae city official said, "We will do our best to establish a safety culture that prioritizes safety as the top value in all fields, so that Gimhae can be reborn as a trusted city."
