KOSHA Busan Regional Headquarters Conducts Patrol Inspections to Prevent Fire Accidents at Construction Sites

The Busan Regional Headquarters of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (Director Jeong Jong-deuk) announced on the 20th that, in response to the repeated fire incidents in the Busan area, they have selected fire-vulnerable sites for emergency patrol inspections and are distributing safety and health materials for fire prevention.

A total of 300 fire-vulnerable construction sites have been selected for focused inspections on the handling of flammable materials, presence of fire-related work (ignition sources), ventilation measures, and fire prevention measures.

Fire-vulnerable construction sites refer to construction sites where fire-prone work (such as finishing processes) is underway.

The Busan Regional Headquarters is conducting this patrol inspection in conjunction with the 'Fire Prevention Site Inspection (February 20, 2025)' and the '4th Site Inspection Day (February 25, 2025)' to carry out surprise inspections and distribute safety rule materials for fire-risk work to encourage self-improvement.

Going forward, the Busan Regional Headquarters plans to continuously verify the implementation of fire prevention measures and the use of safety rule materials for fire-risk work through ongoing patrol inspections.

Director Jeong Jong-deuk stated, “We will continuously manage and coordinate with the Ministry of Employment and Labor for supervision of non-improved poor workplaces to eradicate fire accidents and strive to establish a safety culture for industrial accident prevention throughout all workplaces.”
