Hwaseong City Completes Risk Assessment to Prevent Serious Industrial Accidents

"Continuous Management Through Improvement Measures for Hazardous and Risk Factors"

Hwaseong City announced on July 22 that it had completed the "2025 Annual Risk Assessment" conducted over two months since May to prevent serious industrial accidents.

This risk assessment was carried out for all city-affiliated workplaces, including the main city hall, branch offices, and business offices, as well as administrative agencies and town, township, and neighborhood offices. The assessment was conducted through both outsourcing to professional safety management agencies and internal evaluations by each department.

During the assessment process, professional agencies inspected 51 departments that handle field operations considered relatively high-risk in public administration, such as environmental sanitation, road maintenance and repair, park and green space management, cooking duties, and building security. For general office spaces, all departments participated in identifying risk factors under the guidance of the city's appointed safety manager.

The city plans to continuously manage the hazardous and risk factors identified during the inspection by preparing improvement measures based on the proposed solutions.

Starting this month, the city will sequentially implement the following measures: on-site visits to prevent heat-related illnesses among city employees in response to heat waves; safety and health inspections in the second half of the year; group safety and health training for supervisors and field workers; and inspections of hazardous and dangerous machinery and equipment to prevent employee safety accidents in the second half of the year.

Jung Myung-geun, Mayor of Hwaseong, stated, "Since prevention is the best approach to industrial accidents, we will thoroughly manage even the smallest risk factors through this risk assessment."
