This is a proactive measure to ensure the safety of residents and protect workers' rights during the holiday period.

The inspections will take place from September 23 to 30 at the Okjeong-Pocheon Line and Dobongsan-Okjeong Line metropolitan railway construction sites. The province plans to identify and eliminate potential risks in advance by checking traffic safety management, flood response systems, and fire prevention management status.

In particular, in response to increased traffic volume during the holiday, the inspections will focus on managing vehicle flow around the sites, flood response plans and backup facility readiness in case of heavy rainfall, and the management of electrical and flammable materials for fire prevention. If minor issues are found, immediate corrective action will be taken. For matters requiring mid- to long-term review, the province will take measures based on urgency and continue to monitor them according to the safety management plan.

To protect workers' rights, the inspections will also thoroughly examine wage payment status and equipment fee disbursement, including the payment status between contractors and subcontractors, to ensure that workers' legitimate rights are not infringed upon. If violations are found, immediate corrective action will be required.

Kim Yurae, Director of Railway Construction at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Through proactive and thorough inspections, we will ensure both safety management and rigorous oversight of wage and equipment fee payments, thereby safeguarding the safety of residents and the rights of workers. Gyeonggi Province will do its utmost to ensure that both residents and workers enjoy a safe and comfortable Chuseok holiday, and that those returning home experience no inconvenience in their travels by maintaining the highest standards of on-site safety management."
