Korea Racing Authority LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam (Head Eom Young-seok) formed the ‘Racecourse On-site Disaster Prevention Task Force’ to prevent major accidents during horse racing operations and strengthen communication with on-site personnel, holding its first meeting on the 14th at the Busan Jockey Association Well Lounge.

On the 14th, the Launch Ceremony of the On-Site Horse Racing Disaster Prevention Task Force was held at the Well Lounge in LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam.

The Racecourse On-site Disaster Prevention Task Force consists of about 14 members, including the head of the Racing Administration Center of LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam, the person in charge of disaster prevention, and horse racing stakeholders such as the president of the Trainers Association, the president of the Jockey Association, and association staff.

The task force operates an accident prevention proposal system to identify on-site risk factors and will continuously listen to field opinions to establish practical safety improvement measures.

Additionally, various education and support programs will be expanded to raise safety awareness among horse racing stakeholders and strengthen accident response capabilities.
