Hwaseong Mayor Seo Chul-mo Conducts Safety Inspection at Excavation Site

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Hwaseong Mayor Seo Chul-mo visited Samphyo Industries Hwaseong Business Division located in Yangno-ri, Bibong-myeon on the 8th to conduct an on-site inspection.

The inspection was conducted to prevent safety accidents at excavation permit areas in response to a fatal accident that occurred at a quarry complex in Yangju last month.

Mayor Seo conducted the joint on-site inspection with 10 personnel including a safety management advisory panel composed of relevant experts, staff from the Safety Policy Division, and the Forest Recreation Division.

They thoroughly reviewed the safety of slopes and restoration sites at the excavation permit area, predicted collapse risks, checked whether safety managers completed required training and maintained safety inspection records, and verified construction site safety measures including temporary fences and warning signs.

Meanwhile, the city plans to conduct on-site inspections of a total of four excavation restoration sites within the city by the end of this month.

Mayor Seo Chul-mo stated, "I will continue to conduct on-site monitoring to reduce the risk of safety accidents," and added, "I request that business owners also conduct thorough safety manager training and other safety management measures."
