Gas Safety Corporation Expands 'Gas Safety Check' Nationwide to Islands via Delivery Workers

The Korea Gas Safety Corporation has decided to expand the 'Gas Safety Welfare Registered Mail' project, which involves delivery workers checking for gas leaks and other issues, to nationwide coverage.

On the 5th, the Korea Gas Safety Corporation signed a business agreement with the Korea Post and the Korea LPG Association to expand the Gas Safety Welfare Registered Mail project nationwide to strengthen monitoring of LP gas facilities in island regions.

The Gas Safety Welfare Registered Mail project involves the Korea Gas Safety Corporation sending promotional materials (registered mail) containing self-inspection guidelines for gas facilities to households in island regions. Delivery workers deliver the registered mail and complete a checklist through a Q&A with residents regarding ▲gas leaks ▲indoor storage of cylinders ▲inadequate sealing measures ▲use of metal piping, then return the checklist to the Korea Gas Safety Corporation. The corporation analyzes the checklists to conduct safety inspections and facility improvements for high-risk households.

Additionally, delivery workers will also perform the role of 'Gas Safety Messenger,' immediately reporting any suspected gas leaks or abnormal gas safety signs discovered during their duties to the Korea Gas Safety Corporation.

Last year, the Korea Gas Safety Corporation conducted a pilot project of the Gas Safety Welfare Registered Mail targeting about 9,000 households in Jeonnam, a region with many islands. Through this, five facilities with potential accident risks such as gas leaks and inadequate sealing measures were proactively identified and safety measures were implemented. Through this business agreement, the Korea Gas Safety Corporation plans to expand the project scope to approximately 27,000 households in island regions nationwide.

Park Kyung-guk, president of the Korea Gas Safety Corporation, said, "By expanding the Gas Safety Welfare Registered Mail project nationwide, we expect to effectively close safety management gaps for energy-vulnerable groups in island regions across the country." He added, "Combining the nationwide postal network of the Korea Post, the Hope Charging Fund support from the Korea LPG Association, and our core safety management capabilities, this collaboration between the private sector, government, and public institutions creates a new safety management model, which is even more meaningful."
