Unannounced Inspections at High-Risk Workplaces
Strengthening Measures to Prevent Industrial Accidents

The Busan Northern Branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor (headed by Min Gwangje) announced that on September 1, it conducted a promotional campaign for the "Safe Workplace Project" targeting local residents at Exit 5 of Sasang Station, followed by direct inspections of high-risk workplaces within its jurisdiction.


Since July 23, the Busan Northern Branch has designated dedicated supervisors for 411 high-risk workplaces and construction sites, establishing a constant communication system and conducting unannounced inspections.


On this day, more than 30 participants, including industrial safety supervisors, the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, and safety and health associations, promoted the "12 Key Safety Rules" that employers must strictly follow. Afterwards, six inspection teams were dispatched to eight high-risk workplaces in Sasang District to conduct on-site inspections, and any violations were immediately rectified.



Min Gwangje, head of the branch, stated, "We are strengthening ongoing publicity, cooperation with related organizations, and communication systems for designated workplaces to ensure that the 12 key safety measures are firmly established at worksites." He added, "In addition to unannounced inspections, we will actively share recent accident cases and do our utmost to prevent similar accidents."
