Uiwang City Conducts Joint Safety Inspection with Suwon City on 'June Labor Safety Day'

[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyuk] Uiwang City conducted a joint safety inspection of construction sites within the city with Suwon City on the 11th in observance of 'June Labor Safety Day'.

The joint inspection, which took place with the participation of a total of 14 people including city officials, Suwon city officials, and 8 labor safety inspectors, focused on the 'Naesondagugyeok power transmission line underground construction project' site to prevent worker suffocation accidents that can occur in confined spaces. Additionally, a site inspection of the 'Baekun Valley damaged area restoration project plant exhibition hall new construction' project, which requires special attention during construction, was also carried out.

Through this inspection, the city carefully examined safety protective measures at construction sites, the organization of construction materials, and workers' compliance with safety rules, with a focus on three major accident risk factors—falls, crushing, and collisions—while conducting inspection activities to improve the safety awareness of business owners and workers and prevent serious accidents.

Meanwhile, the Uiwang City labor safety inspectors who participated in the joint inspection on this day are personnel who identify hazards at manufacturing facilities and construction sites within the city and provide guidance on improvement methods. Since March, they have conducted 379 safety inspections targeting 194 business sites in the area.

Shin Mi-kyung, head of the Enterprise and Jobs Division of Uiwang City who attended the inspection, said, "Going forward, through labor safety inspectors, we will continue to conduct ongoing safety inspections and implement improvement measures at construction sites within the city," and added, "For business sites with deficiencies, through repeated inspections, we will do our best to ensure that a workplace safety culture that prioritizes worker safety takes root at construction sites."
