Seoul City Conducts Special Inspections on 530 Private Construction Sites Under Demolition and Reconstruction
Compliance with Demolition Plans, Thorough Inspection of Safety Facilities and All Processes from Permit to Construction
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 17th that it will conduct safety inspections on a total of 530 demolition and new construction sites to prevent safety accidents at private construction sites until November 15.
The five autonomous districts (Jung-gu, Yongsan-gu, Seongdong-gu, Dongjak-gu, Gangdong-gu) that requested joint inspections from Seoul will conduct joint inspections with Seoul, the districts, and external experts, while other districts will proceed with self-inspections. Through this inspection, they plan to check the following: ? Whether the safety management reinforcement measures for demolition and new construction sites prepared by Seoul are effectively implemented on site ? Whether demolition plans and safety management plans are established and followed ? The actual conditions of site safety, quality, and fire prevention.
If any illegal or deficient matters are detected as a result of the inspection, immediate reinforcement and improvement measures will be taken, and depending on the violations, the districts will be requested to take strong administrative and judicial actions against the construction-related parties. Additionally, exemplary cases of safety management at construction sites will be identified and shared with all districts, and if there are parts that are realistically difficult to implement due to deficiencies in the system, proposals for legal amendments will be submitted to the relevant government departments.
