Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Conducts Safety Inspections at 1,972 Sites Nationwide... 4,681 Issues Identified
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 24th that a total of 4,681 issues were identified during safety inspections conducted from the 1st of last month to the 7th of this month at 1,972 construction sites nationwide that were at risk of safety accidents during the thawing season.
Specific issues under the Construction Technology Promotion Act include ▲16 cases subject to penalty points ▲32 cases subject to fines ▲2,451 corrective orders ▲2,182 on-site corrections.
Cases subject to penalty points will be finalized after administrative procedures such as objections by agencies like the Regional Land Management Offices, and cases subject to fines have been reported to the licensing authorities to carry out administrative procedures.
Corrective orders require the relevant supervisors and contractors to report the results of measures taken on the inspection issues to the inspection agencies, while on-site corrections were immediately addressed during the inspection.
The inspection targets were selected as construction sites with a high risk of accidents due to ground freezing and thawing during the winter season, including roads, railways, airports, and buildings.
To conduct this safety inspection, the Ministry deployed a total of 1,279 personnel, including five Regional Land Management Offices, the Korea Land and Safety Management Institute, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), Korea Expressway Corporation, affiliated organizations, and external experts.
