[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 23rd that it conducted on-site safety inspections from the 23rd of last month to the 10th of this month at 26 residential and public housing sites under construction in the province to prevent summer safety accidents, resulting in 97 preventive measures.

The inspection was conducted as a second inspection jointly by Gyeonggi Province officials and project implementers based on the first inspection results carried out by the project operators or construction companies.

The main inspection items included ▲ preparation and management status of safety management plans and manuals ▲ availability of flood control materials and equipment ▲ inspection of drainage facility installation status ▲ instability of cut-and-fill slope sections ▲ installation of safety facilities to prevent falls and dropping accidents ▲ installation of worker rest facilities ▲ provision status of cold beverages and saline solution (salt).

The inspection results showed that poor management of drainage facilities such as sedimentation tanks was the most frequent issue with 56 cases. This was followed by ▲ insufficient safety facilities such as safety fences (10 cases) ▲ lack of worker rest facilities (9 cases) ▲ need for protective measures on cut-and-fill slopes (8 cases).

Of the 97 cases, 75 that required emergency measures and immediate corrections were addressed on-site. The remaining 22 cases were instructed to be secured by the project implementers before the rainy season.

A provincial official stated, "We will thoroughly prepare for heavy rains by improving and supplementing risk factors at residential and public housing sites in the province in advance," adding, "We will continue to conduct safety inspections to create safer construction sites."
