Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station Visits Construction Sites for Spring Fire Safety Inspections

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Northern Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 17th that it conducted on-site fire safety management inspections at large construction sites (4 sites with resident supervisors) in the jurisdiction to proactively eliminate risk factors and lay the foundation for establishing a fire safety culture.

This on-site inspection visit was carried out to prevent fires caused by carelessness such as welding sparks during the spring season when construction sites become more active. It involved checking temporary fire-fighting facilities and vulnerabilities at construction sites within the jurisdiction and strengthening voluntary safety management by related personnel.

The main points included ▲ requests for fire prevention measures in spring and prevention of large-scale fires during critical periods ▲ checking the installation and operational status of temporary fire-fighting facilities ▲ recommending prior notification to the fire station during welding and cutting work ▲ caution in handling flammable materials and fire sources ▲ urging safety management through voluntary inspections by related personnel.

Chief Lee Dong-young said, “Due to the dry weather in spring and the nature of construction sites, fires can easily escalate into large-scale incidents. We ask on-site workers and related personnel to familiarize themselves with safety manuals and cooperate to ensure fire monitoring and safety inspections are conducted regularly.”
