The Gyeongbuk Office of Education plans to utilize private experts in the safety team to conduct inspections and consulting by field, eliminate hazardous and dangerous factors at construction sites, and further accelerate the operation of the safety team.


For thorough inspections, guidance and consulting on the implementation of safety and health management will be provided, with a focus on overall safety management at construction sites, including the structure and installation of safety railings, prevention of risks from falling objects, implementation of safety and health education, and the wearing of personal protective equipment.


In particular, if hazardous or dangerous factors are discovered during on-site inspections, immediate corrective actions will be taken. If serious risk factors are found, construction and facility use will be suspended, followed by detailed safety inspections, repairs, reinforcements, and re-inspections.



Park Dong-pil, Director of Education Safety at the Gyeongbuk Office of Education, said, “Through regular safety inspections, we will do our best to prevent serious industrial accidents among workers and create a safe and pleasant working environment.”
