The city explained that the safety inspections were carried out considering the characteristics of the thawing season, during which the ground weakens due to repeated freezing and thawing, significantly increasing the risk of accidents such as collapses and falling rocks.

The inspections focused on verifying the preparation and implementation of safety management plans, compliance with work safety rules to prevent falls and entrapment, and the appropriateness of construction methods. The city plans to immediately correct minor issues identified on-site and will continue thorough monitoring and inspections to ensure compliance with regulations.

Im Jong-cheol, Vice Mayor of Pyeongtaek City, stated, "Safety management is directly related to the lives of workers at construction sites," and added, "Please ensure thorough safety management until the completion of construction to maintain accident-free sites."
