Gwanak-gu Conducts Safety Inspections in Vulnerable Areas During Thawing Season to Prevent Accidents
Inspection of 56 Safety-Vulnerable Facilities During Thawing Season Including Steep Slopes and Rockfall/Collapse Risk Areas
Special Safety Inspection of 5 Sites Including Aged Stone Walls on the 26th, Emphasizing Residents' Safety as Top Priority
Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Jun-hee) will conduct an "on-site safety inspection" until April 15 in preparation for the thawing season, when the risk of safety accidents increases due to temperature changes.
The inspection targets 56 vulnerable safety areas such as steep slopes and construction sites where safety accidents are a concern due to collapse or falling rocks.
The inspection will focus on safety accidents that may occur during the thawing season, including ▲condition of slopes ▲management status of slope drainage facilities ▲management status of safety facilities around steep slopes ▲whether ground subsidence has occurred in residential adjacent areas.
In particular, on the 26th, Park Jun-hee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, personally conducted a safety inspection. Mayor Park carefully assessed the actual conditions on-site by visiting vulnerable safety areas such as residential stone retaining walls.
At the site, Mayor Park said, "The importance of safety can never be overemphasized," and urged, "Please always do your best to focus on proactive safety management on-site so that the city is safe for residents from disasters."
The district plans to enter the inspection results into the steep slope information system for any problems found during the inspection, and immediately correct simple repairs and reinforcements that can be done on-site.
