The Korea Land Safety Management Institute announced on April 25 that it held a workshop with the Korea Transportation Safety Authority to improve the railway facility inspection system.
The workshop took place over two days, starting the previous day, at the headquarters of the Korea Land Safety Management Institute in Jinju, Gyeongnam Province. The Institute is responsible for evaluating structures and buildings, while the Authority evaluates tracks, electric power for trains, signal control, and information and communications.

The evaluation system for detailed inspections and performance assessments was introduced in December 2023. The purpose is to enhance the quality of railway facility inspections and prevent poor evaluations.
Performance assessments comprehensively evaluate the safety and usability of railway facilities that have been in operation for more than five years. Detailed inspections are procedures for facilities that have been in place for more than ten years, aiming to identify and suggest improvements for physical and functional connection points.
Kim Ilhwan, president of the Korea Land Safety Management Institute, said, "We will do our utmost to operate the system so that the public can use railways with peace of mind."
