[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Pohang City, Gyeongbuk, will conduct safety inspections on various facilities, retaining walls, and drainage channels at housing construction sites until the 24th to prepare in advance for natural disasters such as heavy summer rains and typhoons, as well as safety accidents.


This safety inspection targets 14 apartment construction sites, including 2 sites where construction has been halted, focusing on ▲ flood control measures against heavy rain, protection status of risk factors and retaining walls around the construction site ▲ ground safety assurance during underground excavation and the condition of earth retaining structures ▲ operation status and safety management of construction machinery such as tower cranes and pile drivers ▲ establishment and implementation of safety management plans ▲ management status of materials and equipment at halted construction sites.


Depending on the inspection results, minor issues will be immediately corrected through repairs and reinforcements, and sites with high accident risks due to inadequate safety management will receive emergency measures followed by administrative actions according to relevant laws.


A Pohang city official urged site personnel, “Due to recent climate change, it is difficult to predict weather conditions, so it is necessary to normalize self-inspections at the site and thoroughly prepare in advance.”



Park Byung-jun, head of the Apartment Housing Division, said, “Since there are many housing construction projects currently underway, we will actively guide and supervise to ensure thorough site safety management,” adding, “We will continue to strive for accident-free and safe construction sites.”
