Pre-event Risk Inspection and Intensive Safety Management During the Festival

Ulsan City will conduct a joint safety inspection from October 14 until the end of the event in preparation for the '2025 Ulsan Industry Festival,' which will be held from October 16 to 19 at the outdoor performance venue of Taehwagang National Garden and the riverside area in Nam-gu.

The '2025 Ulsan Industry Festival' will kick off at 2 p.m. on October 16, with Ulsan's leading companies and all five districts participating together.

Six themed parade vehicles, centered on the 'four major industries' and 'Ulsan people,' will march from the Industrial Rotary to the Nam-gu riverside area of Taehwagang, marking the opening of the festival.

During the festival, a variety of attractions and activities will be available around Taehwagang National Garden, including food booths, the '9988 Ulsan Youth Parade,' and the 'Nakhwa Nori Cultural Festival.' More than 100,000 visitors are expected to attend.

Accordingly, starting two days before the event on October 14 and continuing until the end of the festival, Ulsan City will form a joint inspection team of 20 members, led by Park Sooncheol, Director of Civil Safety, and including officials from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Jung-gu and Nam-gu district offices, fire and police departments, as well as private experts in electricity, gas, and fire safety. The team will inspect for safety risks in each area.

The main inspection points include: ▲ whether there are measures in place to prevent accidents due to crowd density ▲ the structural safety of stage installations ▲ the installation of safety facilities around power supply devices ▲ the implementation of safety measures when using gas facilities ▲ and the proper placement of fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment.

Minor issues identified during the inspection will be corrected immediately on site, while urgent matters requiring emergency action will be addressed and reinforced before the event begins, with compliance checked accordingly.

Additionally, a group chat for festival organizers will be operated to share real-time updates on crowd density and potential hazards, focusing administrative resources on safety management until the festival concludes.

Furthermore, on the last day of the Ulsan Industry Festival, October 19, a joint safety inspection with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will also be conducted for the Ulsan Fireworks Festival, which will take place at Gangdong Pebble Beach in Buk-gu.

A city official stated, "We expect large crowds at the festival site, so even minor carelessness could lead to major accidents. We urge citizens to strictly follow on-site safety guidelines, including directions from safety personnel and safety control lines."

Earlier this year, Ulsan City conducted pre-event safety inspections for 10 local festivals, including the Jakcheonjeong Cherry Blossom Festival, and addressed 102 issues identified on site through repairs and reinforcements before the festivals took place, ensuring thorough safety management for local events.
