[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Jeonnam Naju City (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 30th that it will conduct the ‘2021 National Safety Inspection’ with joint participation from the public and private sectors from the 2nd to the 31st of next month.

The National Safety Inspection is a social safety campaign system aimed at preemptively eliminating risk factors through focused inspections of hazardous facilities within the jurisdiction.

Introduced in 2015 after the Sewol ferry disaster, it conducts joint public-private inspections targeting aging and hazardous facilities and systematically manages the inspection history.

The city will inspect 42 facilities across six sectors including apartment complexes, construction sites, sewage treatment facilities, landslide risk areas, and cultural heritage sites.

The inspection targets include 5 environmental and energy sites, 9 lifestyle and leisure sites, 20 architectural facilities, 1 industrial and construction site, 1 health and welfare and food site, and 6 others.

Led by Deputy Mayor Jeong Chan-gyun, the task force is organized into three teams: ‘Overall Planning,’ ‘On-site Inspection,’ and ‘Situation Management,’ conducting safety inspections and surveys of fire, architecture, gas, and electrical facilities together with private experts.

Inspection items that require immediate action will be urgently addressed, and facilities needing repairs or reinforcements will have their risk factors eliminated through history management.

Mayor Kang In-gyu stated, “We will do our best to inspect and resolve risk factors in facilities directly related to citizen safety through the National Safety Inspection,” and added, “We ask citizens to voluntarily conduct safety checks during this inspection period and report any nearby risks through the Safe Report system.”
