Attorney Jeong Junho Proposes '3-Day Emergency Halt' at All Construction Sites in Gwangju Area

Create a 'Field Inspection Manual' to Check All Construction Sites

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Attorney Jung Junho has proposed a 'minimum 3-day emergency halt' in relation to the apartment collapse accident in Seo-gu, Gwangju, under construction by Hyundai Development Company.

Attorney Jung stated on SNS, "Due to this accident, many citizens are feeling uneasy not only about the I-Park site but also about other construction sites," and added, "Gwangju City should create an emergency site inspection manual and checklist to devise measures that can alleviate citizens' anxiety."

He continued, "At all construction sites in Gwangju, upon receiving the above manual, all construction should be halted for 3 days. On the first day, site inspections should be conducted according to the manual; on the second day, all site managers should gather at the city office to share inspection findings and review the city's inspection points; on the third day, additional training for site managers and sharing of safety know-how among them should be carried out," and proposed, "During this period, other site personnel should observe a time of mourning and remembrance for the victims."

He explained that this process would help alleviate citizens' anxiety about other construction sites in Gwangju.

He added, "The losses incurred by each site due to construction delays should be considered an unavoidable exception to liquidated damages for the period, and if recognized later by courts or others, will be minimized," and said, "I hope the missing persons are found as soon as possible and that this proposal helps ease the anxiety of Gwangju citizens."
