[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Following the recent collapse of a five-story commercial building in Dong-gu, Gwangju City's redevelopment area, which resulted in a major casualty incident, Hwaseong City has launched emergency inspections of demolition construction sites within its jurisdiction from the 16th to the 30th of this month.

The inspection targets 178 construction sites undergoing redevelopment or demolition within the city.

Among these, neighborhood living facilities with two or more floors and a total floor area of 100㎡ or more will be subject to joint inspections conducted by a safety management advisory panel composed of experts in civil engineering, architecture, and mechanical systems.

The inspection will focus on examining safety management plans, the appropriateness of safety management organizations and equipment in use, measures taken to prevent accidents in and around the work site, and signs of deformation in surrounding structures.

Additionally, compliance with quarantine guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 will be checked as well.
