Seongnam City Conducts Safety Inspections at 58 Large Construction Sites

Seongnam City is conducting a safety inspection at a large-scale private construction site within Pangyo 2nd Techno Valley in Sujeong-gu.

The city of Seongnam in Gyeonggi Province will conduct safety inspections at 58 private construction sites until the 23rd of next month to prevent safety accidents.

The inspection targets are large private construction sites that are either seven stories or higher above ground or exceed a total floor area of 2,000㎡, including the new construction site at Pangyo 2nd Techno Valley in Sujeong-gu and the officetel construction site in Pangyo Daejang District.

Seongnam City will carry out this inspection with the cooperation of the Seongnam Fire Station and the Korea Construction Safety Association.

The main inspection items include ▲ management status of flammable materials such as fuel and oxygen tanks at construction sites ▲ proper placement of fire extinguishing equipment ▲ installation of temporary fire extinguishing facilities and evacuation routes ▲ compliance with safety rules when using flammable equipment such as welding machines. Additionally, flood control measures, drainage management, retaining wall and stone wall conditions, and soil erosion at cut slopes will also be inspected.

The city will immediately correct minor issues on-site to eliminate risk factors.

If serious hazards or risks are found, an administrative order will be issued to stop construction immediately, and construction will be allowed to resume once the issues are resolved.

Along with this, to raise safety awareness among construction site workers, group training will be held within the year at Onnuri on the first floor of Seongnam City Hall. Furthermore, accident prevention promotional materials will be distributed to foreign workers.
