Hamyang-gun Conducts Joint Public-Private Inspection for National Safety Diagnosis

By October 14, public facilities, disaster-prone areas, and multi-use facilities, etc.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has been conducting the '2022 National Safety Inspection' for 59 days from the 17th of last month to October 14th, targeting 85 locations including steep slopes, waste landfills, rural guesthouses, and apartment complexes, as well as all households and multi-use facilities in Hamyang-gun.

The main inspection targets are selected focusing on important public facilities, disaster-prone areas, and multi-use facilities, and a joint public-private inspection is conducted with the participation of private experts and the Safety Corporation.

For the first time this year, five locations were selected for the 'Resident Application System,' where residents directly apply for inspection targets, and inspections will be carried out during the National Safety Inspection period.

Minor issues found during safety inspections are corrected on-site, while facilities with serious defects or urgent risk factors will undergo usage restrictions, detailed safety diagnoses, repairs, and reinforcement as follow-up measures.

Hamyang-gun plans to manage the inspection history, including the inspection year, methods, and pointed-out issues, for all safety inspection target facilities to ensure the implementation of the National Safety Inspection.

This National Safety Inspection distributes self-inspection checklists to about 21,000 households and 1,100 multi-use facilities in the area, encouraging residents to autonomously check for risk factors, thereby promoting voluntary participation and practice among the community.

County Governor Jin Byeong-young said, “Although the situation is difficult due to the resurgence of COVID-19, this National Safety Inspection will mature the safety culture of society through the interest and participation of private experts, administration, residents, and public institutions for the safety of our region and homes,” and added, “We ask for your great interest and cooperation in conducting the National Safety Inspection’s voluntary safety checks.”
