Pyeongtaek City Conducts Safety Inspection of Pyeongtaek Port Auto Terminal and Other Facilities

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City will conduct safety condition inspections at nine private facilities under the City Safety and Coordination Division, including the Pyeongtaek Port Auto Terminal, from the 12th to 18th (seven days) to secure the safety of private facilities and establish management systems.

Inspection targets are classified into Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 facilities according to the "Facility Safety Act."

Class 1 facilities are large-scale facilities that require advanced technology for structural safety and maintenance management. Class 2 facilities are those, aside from Class 1 facilities, where disasters are likely to occur or where continuous management is necessary to prevent disasters, such as social infrastructure. In addition to Class 1 and 2, small-scale facilities requiring safety management are designated and managed as "Class 3 facilities."

The condition inspection is conducted through advance monitoring via the Facility Management System (FMS) regarding facility maintenance plans, whether safety inspections are implemented, delays in inspection timing, and other factors, followed by on-site visits.

The purpose is to ensure that managing entities thoroughly manage facility safety without violating relevant laws.

Pyeongtaek Mayor Jung Jang-seon stated, "As years pass, risk factors in aging facilities are increasing. Active facility safety management by managing entities is urgently needed," and added, "The city will make every effort to prevent facility safety accidents."
