Yeongam-gun, Safety Inspection of Apartment Construction Sites in Preparation for the Rainy Season

Preventing Disasters in Advance Through Thorough Safety Management

[Yeongam=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do, will conduct safety inspections on six apartment construction sites within the jurisdiction starting from the 17th ahead of the rainy season.

This inspection will focus on the Yeongam Haksan public housing construction site, where excavation and earth retaining works vulnerable to heavy summer rains are underway. The site inspection will be conducted together with external experts from the Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology Corporation.

For construction sites not subject to this inspection, self-inspections will be carried out by June 24 using the rainy season preparedness construction site and facility safety checklist distributed by the Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology Corporation.

To prepare for heavy rain and strong winds, flood control materials will be secured, and the management status of drainage facilities such as onsite and surrounding sump pits and manholes, as well as the installation status of temporary facilities, will be inspected. Any deficiencies will be addressed through onsite guidance and follow-up measures to thoroughly prevent disasters through strict safety management.

Yeongam-gun stated, “Through the rainy season preparedness inspections, we will take preemptive measures to address risk factors at construction sites pointed out during the inspections before the monsoon begins to prevent accidents in advance.”
