[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) has established a client-centered safety and health inspection plan to prepare for winter safety accidents targeting the construction of the Busan New Port West Container Terminal (Phases 2-5).

BPA plans to provide safety equipment such as alarms to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and suffocation accidents, which are high-risk during winter construction sites, ensuring the safety of on-site workers.

They also stated that inspections will be conducted on all companies on site, including primary contractors and subcontractors, to strengthen safety management.

Min Byung-geun, BPA Vice President of Construction, said, “During high-risk periods such as winter, the client will directly inspect the safety management status to strive for a zero-accident construction site.”

The construction of the Busan New Port West Container Terminal (Phases 2-5), which began in March, is building a total of 16 buildings with a total floor area of 19,708㎡, including operational buildings, aiming for opening next year.
