[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim I-gang) announced on the 7th that it has completed the 2022 National Safety Diagnosis safety inspection targeting a total of 110 facilities across 7 sectors, including 51 facilities in the fields of architecture, industry, and construction sites.

Seo-gu selected inspection targets considering accident types and key facilities, and to promote efficient work, formed a task force consisting of a safety support group, general planning team, on-site inspection team, and private council team, conducting on-site inspections from August 17 to this day.

In particular, 32 safety management advisory members participated in the inspection along with related department officials, with the public and private sectors working together to ensure no blind spots in resident safety.

As a result of the inspection, 61 facilities were identified as requiring on-site correction and repair/reinforcement. Seo-gu held the final report meeting for the National Safety Diagnosis on the 6th, one day before the inspection completion, to discuss measures for issues found during the inspection process in advance.

Mild issues will be corrected immediately on-site, and public facilities requiring repair, reinforcement, and detailed safety diagnosis will be promptly improved by securing budgets.

For private facilities, Seo-gu plans to strengthen facility accountability by intensively checking management status and verifying the implementation of follow-up measures until risk factors are resolved.

Mayor Kim I-gang of Seo-gu said, “I hope this National Safety Diagnosis will serve as an opportunity to prevent safety accidents and spread a safety culture,” adding, “We will strive to secure resident safety through thorough follow-up measures.”
