The inspection proceeded in the order of pre-identifying risk factors and establishing rapid response measures.

The Korea National Oil Corporation formed a public-private joint inspection team to identify and address on-site safety risks in advance while simultaneously conducting a disaster safety campaign to promote a culture of safety among employees.

Starting with the Yongin Oil Storage Base on this day, the Korea National Oil Corporation plans to conduct public-private joint focused safety inspections at a total of nine storage bases until the 31st. Any deficiencies found during the inspection period will be immediately addressed.
