This inspection was organized in accordance with Article 32-3 of the Framework Act on the Management of Disasters and Safety to proactively identify and eliminate risk factors in facilities where disasters or accidents could potentially occur. This year, the scope of inspections was expanded to 80 sites, focusing on facilities used by vulnerable groups and key public venues such as traditional markets, with the aim of addressing safety blind spots.

The inspection focused on checking for cracks in pillars and load-bearing walls of buildings within the central market, evaluating the safety of temporary structures such as canopies, and assessing the management of fire hydrants and sprinklers, fire extinguisher pressure and expiration dates, as well as vulnerabilities in electrical and gas systems.

Additionally, particular attention was paid to identifying fire and collapse hazards within the traditional market to create an environment where citizens can use the market with peace of mind.

Alongside the on-site inspection, a "Safety Inspection Day" campaign was also conducted. Around 80 representatives from 11 organizations—including the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Chuncheon Fire Station, Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, Korea Gas Safety Corporation, Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, Korea Rural Community Corporation, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, local disaster prevention groups, volunteer fire brigades, and safety monitors—participated in the campaign.

The participants distributed safety promotional materials, such as self-inspection checklists, to citizens and conducted the "Safety Walkaround" activity, encouraging people to directly identify safety risks in their daily surroundings.

Kim Younggyu, Disaster and Safety Officer, stated, "The intensive safety inspection is a preventive safety management activity aimed at protecting the lives and property of citizens," adding, "We will continue to proactively identify and eliminate risk factors to make Chuncheon a city where residents can feel safe."
