The main inspection targets are project sites where earthwork such as excavation and earth retaining work is underway. The regional headquarters inspection team and branch cross-inspection team will conduct inspections focusing on creating a safe working environment for on-site workers by checking slope safety due to ground freezing and thawing, and verifying temporary structures.

In particular, to prevent safety accidents during the spring thaw period, they will focus on inspecting risk factors such as ▲collapse of cut excavation faces ▲collapse of earth retaining walls due to ground softening ▲formwork props and equipment overturning caused by ground subsidence.

According to the inspections, they plan to establish action plans tailored to each project site, such as work stoppage or on-site corrective measures, and will monitor until completion of these measures as a systematic follow-up to focus on preventing safety accidents.

Head Cho Young-ho said, “Inspections during vulnerable periods are very important to prevent safety accidents,” and added, “We will do our best to protect site safety through meticulous and thorough inspections to ensure that no safety management blind spots occur.”
