Yeongtong-gu in Suwon (District Chief Lee Jae-seon) announced on the 8th that it will conduct safety facility inspections of vulnerable areas within the district to prevent fires during the winter season and prevent large-scale fires and disaster accidents in advance.

The district will deploy three public officials, including the head of the Construction Division, to conduct comprehensive safety inspections of 34 construction sites that have been under construction since filing commencement reports in 2006 through the 26th, checking whether safety measures have been implemented.

In particular, the district will conduct thorough inspections on: safety measures at stalled construction sites, installation of snow removal equipment and other damage prevention facilities around construction sites, safe use of work gas containers and other fire hazards, thorough checks on snow removal and snow-melting equipment in preparation for heavy snow and severe cold.
