On-site Investigation and Cause Analysis by Field
Establishing Measures to Prevent Recurrence in the Future
On April 23, the Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam announced that an accident investigation committee has been launched to conduct a full-scale analysis of the causes behind the facility accident that occurred at Changwon NC Park on March 29.
The accident took place near the third base concession stand at Changwon NC Park, where a structure fell, injuring three people. Tragically, a woman in her twenties who suffered a severe head injury died as a result.
In response, the city of Changwon formed the "Changwon City Facility Accident Investigation Committee" to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the accident. The committee consists of nine experts who have no affiliation with Changwon NC Park and plans to conduct a transparent and fair investigation moving forward.
During the first meeting, the committee held in-depth discussions on several topics: the sequence of events and progress of the investigation, key cause analysis, and future measures to prevent recurrence. The committee is expected to conduct its investigation for approximately five months, though the duration may be adjusted depending on the progress in each area.
Jang Geumyong, acting mayor of Changwon Special City, stated, "This accident served as a serious wake-up call for all of us." He added, "Based on the results of the investigation, we will strengthen our safety management system and continue to provide ongoing safety education to improve awareness so that such accidents do not happen again in the future."
