Since 2019, the corporation has designated the "Hazardous Spot Inspection Day" and has been inspecting major urban railway facilities on the 22nd of every month to identify potential risks that could threaten safe operation in advance.


This inspection covers a total of 24 locations across 13 fields, including operation areas such as crew, business, vehicles, electricity, signaling, civil engineering, and construction sites. It also focuses on safety measures in preparation for the 19th Busan Fireworks Festival, which is expected to attract many urban railway users.


The main inspection items include the state of pre-preparation for mass transportation during the fireworks festival, customer convenience facilities such as E/S and E/L, track switch points and signals on turnaround lines, and construction sites.


In particular, six fields?crew, vehicles, electricity, mechanical equipment, signaling, and tracks?will enhance objectivity in securing the safety of public facilities and improve the effectiveness of on-site inspections through on-site verification and consultation by external experts in each field.


On the morning of the 21st, ahead of the Hazardous Spot Inspection Day, Lee Byung-jin, President of Busan Transportation Corporation, visited the Line 2 signaling equipment room and turnaround line with an external expert in the signaling field to check the stability of the signaling system and the operation status of track switches, urging on-site staff to do their best to prevent safety accidents.



Lee Byung-jin, President of Busan Transportation Corporation, stated, “The corporation will continue to conduct preemptive safety inspections on hazardous spots to ensure that citizens can use the urban railway with peace of mind, and we will do our best to make this happen.”
