Gokseong-gun, Operation of Outdoor Advertising Posting Facility Grading System
Conduct Safety Inspections and Manage by Categorizing Results into Three Levels (A, B, C)
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Geun-gi) announced on the 26th that it has been operating a grading system for outdoor advertising posting facilities since August 17.
Gokseong-gun initiated the grading system to continuously monitor the aging level of outdoor advertising posting facilities and manage them efficiently.
The method involves conducting safety inspections on posting facilities used within the region and managing them by dividing into three grades (A, B, C) based on the results.
Posting facilities rated C in the inspection results are prioritized for maintenance and replacement over other grades. Gokseong-gun expects this to secure the safety of outdoor advertising posting facilities.
To operate the grading system, Gokseong-gun conducted safety inspections on local outdoor advertising posting facilities on the 15th. Among 47 facilities (44 banner posting stands, 3 promotional towers), 19 were rated A, 26 B, and 2 C.
Gokseong-gun plans to prioritize replacing the two posting facilities rated C by around October this year.
Additionally, although not subject to maintenance or replacement based on the grading, Gokseong-gun plans to gradually replace 22 ladder-type posting facilities rated B with folding-type posting stands.
This is because ladder-type posting facilities pose a higher risk of safety accidents due to strong winds when posting banners or conducting safety inspections. The cost for replacing each posting facility is expected to be about 10 million KRW.
