This meeting was organized to prevent various safety accidents that could occur around large construction sites in advance and to enable relevant agencies to jointly inspect risk factors at each site.


The meeting was attended by Acting Mayor Kim Sangsoo of Namyangju City, city officials, LH, GH, and construction site representatives.


During the meeting, the results of the 2026 Namyangju City Special Safety Inspection and key follow-up measures were shared. In addition, exemplary safety measures from each construction site were presented, and ways to strengthen safety management at large construction sites were discussed.


In particular, participants re-examined the safety management systems of major large construction sites, including the National Road No. 47 relocation construction site, and discussed the direction for follow-up actions based on the inspection results.


A site representative who attended the meeting stated, "Based on the results of the special safety inspection, we will immediately address site-specific vulnerabilities and implement even more thorough safety checks before starting work."


Acting Mayor Kim Sangsoo emphasized, "The safety of citizens and workers is more important than process or speed. Since even minor carelessness at construction sites can lead to major accidents, responsible safety management must be practiced by relevant agencies and contractors through repeated inspections of risk factors and prompt on-site actions to prevent accidents."



Meanwhile, the city plans to reflect the matters discussed at this meeting at each site and will continuously monitor the implementation of follow-up measures after the special safety inspection. Namyangju City also plans to continue strengthening proactive safety management by maintaining direct communication with safety managers of large construction sites.
