[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has launched a巡回 inspection targeting 18 affiliated business sites to prevent major industrial accidents.


On the 15th, Geochang-gun Mayor Gu In-mo personally inspected two business sites: the Agricultural Technology Center's Agricultural Products Processing Support Center and the Useful Microorganism Cultivation Center.


On that day, the Agricultural Products Processing Support Center was inspected, including four processing rooms and one training room. At the Useful Microorganism Cultivation Center, the cultivation room, storage room, and laboratory were inspected.


The inspection team also checked for fall hazards such as railings and stairs. They thoroughly examined risk and hazardous factors including the presence of obstructions that could hinder quick evacuation, the risk of electric shock due to exposed energized parts of distribution panels, and the storage conditions of flammable materials such as portable sprays.


Mayor Gu In-mo emphasized, "There is a rule that fatal accidents occur after 300 near-misses and 29 minor accidents," adding, "We must engrave in our hearts that ignoring and neglecting minor accidents leads to major disasters."



The county plans to complete safety inspections of all 18 affiliated business sites by the end of March.
