Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) will conduct a joint public-private intensive safety inspection on a total of 36 sites, including housing and construction sites and vacant houses, until September 22 to prevent safety accidents in advance ahead of the long Chuseok holiday and to establish a proper construction culture.

The inspection targets include 17 housing construction and building sites and 19 vacant houses within the reconstruction project sites. The district formed a joint inspection team composed of external experts such as architects and structural engineers, as well as district office officials, to ensure effectiveness.

The main inspection items for construction sites are ▲ implementation status of safety management plans for Chuseok and establishment of emergency contact systems ▲ management status of equipment such as temporary fences and falling object prevention nets against typhoons and strong winds ▲ subsidence and cracks around construction sites and tidiness ▲ management status of facilities preventing soil runoff on slopes, etc. The district plans to make thorough efforts to prevent any safety gaps at construction sites during the holiday period.

For vacant houses within reconstruction sites, the inspection will carefully check for damage to no-entry facilities, unauthorized intrusion, environmental pollution caused by illegal dumping, and subsidence of the surrounding ground.

Minor issues found during the inspection will be corrected immediately on-site. If serious defects or risk factors are discovered requiring urgent repair or reinforcement work, emergency safety measures and administrative actions such as usage restrictions or construction bans will be taken, followed by additional supplementary measures to ensure prompt improvement through thorough follow-up management and supervision.

Meanwhile, as a result of the summer construction site safety inspection conducted in August, minor issues such as reinforcement of underground opening safety signs, installation of safety handrails on stairs, and reinforcement of temporary fences at construction site entrances were found at three construction sites and all have been corrected.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “We are conducting proactive safety inspections to correct the construction site safety management conditions that can easily become lax during the long Chuseok holiday,” adding, “We will do our best to make Yangcheon-gu a safe city without any safety gaps through thorough pre-inspections.”
