On the 7th, Gwangju City announced that it will conduct a joint public-private safety inspection at 67 construction sites over four weeks from the 11th of this month to the 6th of next month to prevent safety accidents at construction sites during the winter season.

To ensure expertise, the city will form an inspection team consisting of district offices, the Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology Corporation, and private experts to carry out the inspections.

This inspection is being promoted to prevent fire and explosion accidents, falls, and poor construction quality such as improper concrete curing caused by low temperatures, which are likely to occur at construction sites due to heavy snowfall and cold waves in winter.

The main inspection items include ▲ safety management status to prevent winter fires, collapses, and falls ▲ appropriateness of construction plan establishment such as concrete curing ▲ securing emergency snow removal equipment in preparation for heavy snowfall.

Minor issues found during the inspection will be immediately corrected on-site, and parts that are difficult to address immediately will be continuously monitored until the risk factors are resolved.

Baek Bok-hwan, Director of the Citizen Safety Office of Gwangju City, said, “We will make every effort to eliminate risk factors in advance through winter construction site safety inspections to prevent safety accidents from occurring.”
