Gimhae City Smoothly Prepares for Serious Accident Punishment Act Application... Managing 846 Sites

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 2nd that a total of 846 workplaces and facilities subject to the Serious Accident Punishment Act have been identified within the jurisdiction.

This is divided into 325 serious industrial accident workplaces and 521 serious citizen accident public-use facilities. The city plans to update and manage the workplaces and facilities subject to the law through a full survey every first half of the year ahead of the law's enforcement on January 27 next year.

Additionally, the city has established a Serious Accident Prevention Team, formed a TF team to respond to the enforcement of the punishment law, established pre-response plans by sector (department), investigated and confirmed workplaces and facilities subject to the law, submitted opinions on the legislative notice of the enforcement decree, proposed amendments to unclear legal provisions to central government agencies, and is fostering public discussion among nationwide basic local governments.

During the month of September, non-face-to-face publicity on serious accidents targeting workplaces and usage facilities was conducted using promotional leaflets, SNS, banners, and electronic display boards, and face-to-face publicity will be combined for workplaces with a history of accident disasters.

In consultation with the contract and licensing departments, safety-related contract measures such as collecting safety pledges from subcontractors and submitting safety management plan implementation results before completion will be strengthened, along with raising awareness of industrial accident prevention for construction accident prevention specialized institutions and workplace supervision agencies.

Mayor Heo Seong-gon said, "We will also strengthen safety inspections and establish crisis management measures for public-use facilities and transportation means subject to serious citizen accidents so that citizens can use them safely."
