Among these, Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Provincial Council have already completed their move-in, and due to the unique coexistence of users and construction workers, the prevention of safety accidents is being emphasized.

The main inspection items include ▲temporary fences around the Convergence Town, pedestrian hazards including construction site entrances and exits, and access control management ▲provision and wearing of safety protective gear, placement of construction machinery signalers, compliance with worker safety rules ▲measures against wind and flood damage such as slopes, retaining walls, temporary facilities, stormwater management, and prevention of major accidents including falls and overturns.

The province plans to immediately correct any issues identified during the safety inspection on site.

Han Dae-hee, head of the Gyeonggi Province Construction Headquarters, emphasized, "Since construction for tenant institutions will continue sequentially until 2024 even after Gyeonggi Province has moved in, we will do our best to manage safety so that both users and workers can complete the project without any safety accidents."
