This training was designed to enhance the expertise of safety managers, who play a key role in preventing chemical accidents, and to strengthen the inspection of risk factors at each workplace, thereby reducing blind spots in safety management.

On this day, more than 150 safety managers from hazardous chemical substance handling workplaces in the area attended the training. The lecture was led by Kim Soyeong, Head of the Siheung Chemical Disaster Joint Response Center, and focused on the following topics: major recent cases of chemical accidents and response measures in the event of an incident; key amendments to the Chemical Substances Control Act; and regulations related to guidance and inspection of workplaces handling hazardous chemical substances.

In particular, by sharing actual chemical accident cases, the training emphasized the importance of initial response and ways to establish an effective safety management system within the workplace, thereby improving participants' understanding.

Lee Beomyeol, Director of the Environment and Greenery Bureau, stated, "Chemical accidents can be sufficiently prevented through thorough pre-inspection and compliance with laws and regulations, so it is important for workplaces to have a proactive awareness of safety management." He added, "We will continue to strive to make Ansan City a safe place free from chemical accidents through ongoing training and management."
