Jeong Hyun-gu, Deputy Governor of Muan County, Jeonnam, conducted a safety management inspection at the ‘Namak New Town Sports Facility Construction’ site on the 12th to prevent large-scale construction site accidents ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

The Namak New Town Sports Facility, with a total floor area of 8,210㎡ and 1 to 2 basement floors, will feature a swimming pool (25m/7 lanes), the nation’s largest indoor surfing area (2 sections), and a multipurpose gymnasium. It is scheduled for completion in 2026, and currently, underground pile work is underway.

This inspection focused on checking ▲compliance with safety regulations ▲management status of temporary facilities ▲whether construction materials were stored along the roadside ▲availability of rest areas for workers ▲emergency contact network and work shift organization.

Minor hazards identified during the inspection were immediately addressed on site, and other issues will be supported for improvement before full-scale work begins.

Deputy Governor Jeong Hyun-gu emphasized, “There is a tendency for serious accidents to increase around the holidays,” and urged, “Workers should not rush their tasks recklessly and must check the safety management status.”
