Gwangju City Conducts Safety Inspections at 15 Construction Sites Until the 27th

Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kang Ki-jung) announced on the 1st that it will conduct safety inspections at 15 construction sites from the 4th to the 27th to prevent fatal accidents and safety incidents at construction sites in the Gwangju area.

The inspection targets are construction sites in Gwangju City with a progress rate between 30% and 80%, where there is a risk of falls. To ensure thorough inspections, the process will be conducted jointly with related organizations such as district offices, the Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology Corporation, and private experts.

The main inspection items include ▲ compliance with safety facility installation regulations (such as safety railings and fall prevention nets) ▲ compliance with standards for temporary structures like scaffolding and their retention periods ▲ appropriateness of safety management plans and whether regular safety inspections are conducted.

Minor issues that can be addressed on-site will be corrected immediately, and parts that are difficult to address will be continuously monitored until the risk factors are resolved.

Park Nam-joo, Director of the Citizen Safety Office, said, “Concerns about safety accidents are increasing due to the recent spread of unease at construction sites,” adding, “We will do our best to alleviate safety concerns and prevent safety accidents.”
