[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Duyul] The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education conducted a national safety inspection of six dormitory facilities under its management through a public-private joint effort by the 25th.

The national safety inspection is a government-wide initiative to check the safety status of major national facilities. The Office of Education targeted school dormitories and training centers where large-scale casualties could occur in the event of a fire.

The inspection targets were six locations: Hyundai Cheongun High School, Foreign Language High School, Energy High School, Hyundai Technical High School, Seosaeng Middle School, and Ulsan Student Education Center.

To ensure a thorough inspection, the Ulsan Office of Education formed a public-private joint inspection team composed of private experts in architecture, electricity, and firefighting, along with affiliated public officials.

The inspection focused on cracks in the interior and exterior walls of buildings, the condition of electrical cable ducts (EPS) and distribution boxes, and whether fire alarm equipment was functioning properly.

The inspection results pointed out some surface peeling and water leakage on the exterior walls, as well as drainage maintenance issues. The Office of Education plans to establish continuous monitoring and repair plans.

The inspection results will be disclosed on the Office of Education’s website in the Education Facilities section and the data room. The inspection targets will be tracked in the future to prevent duplicate designation and to check compliance during subsequent inspections.

An official from the Office of Education stated, “In addition to the national safety inspection, we are thoroughly conducting regular safety checks of facilities. We will rigorously protect students’ safety from natural disasters such as typhoons and heavy rains.”

Last year, the Ulsan Office of Education inspected four special schools used by disaster-vulnerable groups through the national safety inspection and completed addressing eight issues related to school facility management, including rooftop management, electricity, equipment, and external facilities.
