Gochang-gun to Conduct 'National Safety Inspection' Starting from the 23rd

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk, has begun preparations to promote the 2021 National Safety Inspection.

On the 9th, the county completed the formation of the '2021 Regional Safety Inspection Promotion Team' led by Deputy County Governor Lee Juchul.

The promotion team, along with the 'Gochang-gun Public-Private Joint Safety Inspection Mobile Team' composed of private experts in various fields, will conduct safety inspections of 55 facilities across 5 sectors for 26 days from the 23rd of this month to the 17th of next month.

The sectors include 4 buildings, 15 living and leisure facilities, 9 environmental and energy facilities, 4 transportation facilities, and 23 others.

Minor issues found during inspections will be immediately corrected on-site by the management entities, and facilities requiring repair or reinforcement will be promptly improved after securing the necessary budget.

County Governor Yoo Gisang stated, "We will prioritize thoroughly preparing to raise the safety awareness of residents and protect their safety," adding, "The National Safety Inspection will be carried out earnestly through the cooperation of the public and private sectors to ensure a substantial inspection."

Meanwhile, the National Safety Inspection has been conducted annually since 2015 following the Sewol ferry disaster. It is a nationwide disaster prevention activity aimed at safety inspections of facilities prone to various disasters and promoting safety practices among citizens.

Last year, it was not conducted due to the impact of COVID-19, but this year, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety decided to postpone it to the second half of the year and proceed with the inspection.
