On that day, the representative of Bukyung Industry expressed practical issues and concerns about the preparation for legal application and fear of punishment, saying, "If a serious accident occurs, the management cannot operate properly while the representative is under investigation, which is practically a closure, and ultimately all workers who worked like one family become unemployed."


In response, Mayor Hong inspected the workplace along with the city's safety and health managers, checking the preparation status for establishing a safety and health management system such as risk assessment, and examined what is essential on-site regarding the expanded application of the Serious Accident Punishment Act.


Currently, Changwon Special City is conducting the "Consulting Support Project for Serious Accident Prevention in Small and Medium Enterprises" and visiting "Serious Accident Prevention Education," and is promoting improvement guidance projects to ensure the establishment of a safety and health management system through joint inspections with Gyeongnam Province.


Mayor Hong urged, "I ask the business representatives to devote all their efforts to strengthening their own disaster prevention capabilities."



Meanwhile, Mayor Hong has been continuing community-centered administration by visiting Jinhae on the 18th, cleaning, and listening to support plans and difficulties in establishing a safety management system.
