No Safety Accidents During Thawing Season!… BPA Conducts Safety Inspections

Busan Port Authority (BPA) conducted a safety inspection of the entire Busan New Port West Container Terminal construction site on the 20th to mark the thawing season.

The safety inspection was carried out as a preemptive measure to improve risk factors, since the ground frozen during winter has recently thawed due to rising temperatures, which could cause collapses and other accidents.

BPA officials are conducting safety inspections during the thawing season at the construction site of the New Port Second Container Terminal.

President Kang Jun-seok visited the construction site of the New Port West Container Terminal (phases 2-5, 2-6, and feeder pier) along with the head of the construction headquarters and other staff to check the ground conditions where earthwork is underway.

President Kang and others carefully examined ▲the condition of temporary facilities ▲the tidiness around the worksite ▲whether slope safety measures were implemented ▲and hazardous and dangerous factors within the site.

Through this inspection, BPA plans to identify risk factors and the state of safety and health at each site, correct any deficiencies, and strive to prevent safety accidents.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “Identify and address all potential risk factors that may occur at construction sites during the thawing season to prevent safety accidents in advance.”
