Imsil-gun to Conduct Inspections of Dust-Generating Workplaces Until the 8th of Next Month

Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk Province announced on the 28th that it will conduct a "Special Inspection of Dust-Generating Workplaces" until the 8th of next month.

This special inspection was promoted to prepare for the implementation of the fine dust seasonal management system and to create a clean air environment free of fine dust.

The fine dust seasonal management system is a policy implemented from next month to March of the following year to reduce fine dust emissions as the concentration of ultrafine dust (PM2.5) increases.

The targets of this special inspection are 106 workplaces in four sectors, including construction, fertilizer, and sample product manufacturing.

In particular, 40 construction sites will be subject to intensive inspection.

All workplaces must install facilities to suppress dust generation and take necessary measures to prevent dust emissions.

The key inspection points include the installation and operation of dust barriers, dust covers, wheel washing facilities, watering facilities at work sites, dust suppression measures during transport and transfer, and compliance with other environmental laws.

Minor violations detected on-site will be guided immediately, but workplaces that fail to take dust suppression measures and cause large amounts of dust emissions will be punished under a zero-tolerance policy.

Violating workplaces may be fined up to 3 million KRW according to relevant regulations.

The county plans to continuously carry out on-site administration for dust-generating workplaces such as construction sites to create a pleasant living environment in preparation for the fine dust seasonal management system.

County Governor Sim Min said, "We will minimize inconvenience to residents by resolving civil complaints through active guidance and inspection," adding, "We will work harder to create a clean air environment and make the local environment a better place to live."
