The National Railroad Corporation has enhanced safety awareness among rail passengers and the public while promoting a culture of rail safety.
On September 11, the National Railroad Corporation announced the conclusion of its "Public Rail Safety Campaign," which ran from August 14 to September 11 across six regional offices nationwide.
This campaign aimed to directly inform the public about safety rules to follow when using railways, such as at train stations and level crossings, and to encourage voluntary safety practices.
More than 140 employees from the six regional offices, including those in the metropolitan area, GTX, Yeongnam, Honam, Chungcheong, and Gangwon, participated in safety promotions tailored to the local rail environment and passenger characteristics.
They provided guidance on key safety rules, such as stopping at level crossings, checking for trains in both directions, and prohibiting unauthorized access to tracks and overhead lines, while distributing informational materials to rail users and pedestrians at crossings.
Jung Jin-hyuk, the Commissioner of the National Railroad Corporation, stated, "Rail safety begins with the attention of all citizens and the practice of basic safety rules. We will continue to promote safety at train stations and level crossings, focusing on establishing a proper rail usage culture and preventing accidents."
Additionally, Commissioner Jung declared upon taking office on September 1 that he would prioritize safety in all decision-making and strengthen a data-driven, preventive safety management system.
