This intensive safety inspection will target 1,394 locations across seven sectors, including bridge facilities where recent accidents have occurred, large construction sites, large retail facilities, suspension bridges, and other multi-use facilities, as well as aging and high-risk facilities where safety accidents are a concern.

The city, district and county offices, business sites, public corporations, related organizations, experts, and relevant groups will jointly conduct the inspections. Heads of each institution will also visit the sites directly to carry out thorough and precise safety inspections.

The city will implement a "Resident Application System for Inspection Targets," allowing local residents to request inspections of facilities they deem necessary, enabling citizens to directly experience safety inspection activities. Additionally, advanced technological equipment such as drones, Internet of Things (IoT) cameras, and thermal imaging cameras will be utilized to inspect facilities that are difficult to check with the naked eye or general equipment, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of inspections and minimizing safety blind spots.

The city will disclose the inspection results on the Integrated Information Disclosure System and establish a real-name inspection system to strengthen accountability in safety inspections. Furthermore, it plans to actively encourage the use of the Safety Report Center to enhance resident participation and eliminate hazards in daily surroundings.

Alongside this, during the inspection period, a city-wide voluntary safety inspection campaign will be conducted, and self-inspection checklists for homes and multi-use facilities will be produced and distributed to promote the spread of a safety culture and the normalization of safety inspections.

Kim Kyung-deok, Director of the Citizen Safety Office of the city, stated, "Minor and simple hazards discovered during this inspection will be promptly repaired and reinforced, and serious hazards will be continuously managed until the risk factors are resolved to ensure citizen safety. We also ask all citizens to actively participate in voluntary safety inspections at home using the Safety Report Center app."
