BPA Strengthens Smart Safety Management... Introduces 'Solar-Powered Mobile CCTV'

Busan Port Authority (BPA) has introduced 'solar-powered mobile CCTV' to strengthen safety management at small-scale construction sites within Busan Port.

Small-scale construction projects with a budget under 5 billion KRW have fewer on-site personnel and many blind spots in management, making them more vulnerable to safety accidents than large-scale projects.

According to the 2022 fatal accident statistics announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, out of 328 fatal accidents in the construction industry, 224 cases, accounting for 58%, occurred at small-scale construction sites with budgets under 5 billion KRW.

To reduce safety blind spots and strengthen safety management at small-scale construction sites within Busan Port, BPA introduced the smart construction safety technology 'solar-powered mobile CCTV.'

Solar-powered mobile CCTV introduced at the Nam container steel yard construction site.

BPA has installed solar-powered mobile CCTV at the Nam Container Rail Yard construction site currently under construction to perform on-site safety management supervision during key construction phases.

Since the 'solar-powered mobile CCTV' is powered by solar energy, it can be installed anywhere and easily monitor situations in areas difficult to observe with the naked eye, allowing early detection and response to hazardous situations to prevent safety accidents.

Lee Sang-kwon, Head of BPA's Construction Headquarters, stated, “To ensure safety management tailored to the characteristics of various sites, we will continue to expand the application of smart construction safety technologies and do our best to prevent accidents.”
