This site inspection will target 58 large construction sites with contract amounts exceeding 100 million KRW, organizing inspection teams by field such as civil engineering, architecture, and landscaping.

The annual safety inspection for the thaw season mainly focuses on checking for hazards such as ground subsidence and cracks around construction sites, as well as risks of slope collapse, aiming to prevent accidents in advance and promote accident-free, solid construction of public works.

Especially from this year, to expand citizen participation administration in the 8th term of the elected mayor, a joint inspection team will be formed with 10 citizen honorary inspectors who have interest and expertise in the technical administration field. This will not only prevent safety accidents but also strengthen safety management for disaster prevention through objective and transparent site inspections from the citizens' perspective.

Kim Jang-ho, Mayor of Gumi City, said, “We expect this inspection to be a starting point for joint inspections with citizens, and we will continue to expand citizen participation to build a trusted and safe Gumi City.”
