Seongnam City Conducts Disaster Safety Inspections at 43 Multi-Use Facilities

[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will conduct safety inspections of multi-use facilities until the 15th of this month ahead of Chuseok.

The target facilities include a total of 43 locations expected to attract many visitors during the Chuseok holiday (September 18-22), such as the Yatap-dong Seongnam General Bus Terminal, 12 large supermarkets, and 30 traditional markets.

Seongnam City will check for defects such as building damage, cracks, and leaks, ensure evacuation routes are secured, verify the normal operation of gas and electrical leakage breakers, and inspect the management status of fire extinguishing equipment.

Compliance with COVID-19 prevention rules, such as wearing masks and maintaining distance between users, will also be checked.

Earlier, on the 26th of last month, the city inspected the Yatap-dong Seongnam General Bus Terminal and corrected 14 issues including malfunctioning emergency lights, the use of octopus-style power strips, and inadequate management of individually used city gas facilities.

If any hazards are found during safety inspections of other facilities, the city plans to have them corrected on-site.

For facilities that are difficult to repair immediately, the city will issue correction orders for repairs and reinforcements and will conduct follow-up management until the risks are eliminated.
