Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will conduct safety inspections on 43 aging houses and social welfare facilities in preparation for the thawing season.

Gyeonggi Province announced that from the 14th of this month until the end of next month, it will carry out safety inspections on a total of 43 locations, including 29 aging houses over 30 years old requiring safety repairs and 14 social welfare facilities over 10 years old with weak ground conditions.

To this end, Gyeonggi Province formed a joint public-private inspection team with related organizations such as the Special Safety Inspection Team, private experts, city and county offices, and fire stations.

The inspection team will check ▲tilting of facilities and structural cracks during the thawing season ▲implementation of facility maintenance plans ▲management status of fire extinguishing equipment for fire preparedness ▲management status according to individual laws.

Kim Byeong-tae, head of Gyeonggi Province's Special Safety Inspection Team, emphasized, "We will focus on inspecting facilities with high risk due to weakened ground as the frozen ground thaws in winter," adding, "We will protect the lives and safety of residents by inspecting various facilities not only during the thawing season but also during upcoming disaster-prone periods such as the rainy season and typhoons."
