[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Moon Young-hoon, Acting Mayor of Gwangju Metropolitan City, visited the demolition site of the Jangmi Apartment reconstruction project in Nam-gu, where an accident occurred on the 15th due to the collapse of a temporary fence caused by falling demolition debris during building dismantling work, to inspect the accident response situation and on-site safety management status.

This inspection was urgently conducted to check the reorganization status of the overturned temporary fence, verify the implementation of the demolition safety management plan and demolition plan, and assess the overall safety management status.

Acting Mayor Moon received a report on the progress of measures taken for the collapse accident from construction officials and urged them to strictly adhere to the demolition plan during dismantling and to prevent safety accidents through thorough on-site management until the completion of the construction.

He especially instructed that dismantling work on buildings along roads requires special caution due to concerns about human casualties in case of accidents, and that related regulations must be strictly followed.

He then requested officials from Nam-gu Office, the site management supervisory agency, to make every effort to prevent accidents through comprehensive safety inspections of demolition sites following this accident, so that citizens do not fall into anxiety.

Acting Mayor Moon said, “Since this is an urban site densely populated with houses and commercial buildings, please review and establish sufficient safety measures to prevent damage to nearby buildings and residents caused by noise, scattered dust, and building debris generated during the demolition process, and ensure that safe construction continues until the end.”
