The National Railroad Corporation is taking steps to improve accident prevention and management of construction equipment used at railroad construction sites.
On September 15, the National Railroad Corporation announced that it conducted a two-day training session on 'Construction Equipment Safety Inspection Practical Training for Railroad Field Technicians' at its headquarters in Daejeon, starting on September 14.
This training targeted practical workers, including construction managers and representatives from partner companies, aiming to enhance understanding of equipment characteristics and key risk factors, as well as to strengthen practical knowledge and on-site response capabilities.
Key topics included: major issues in construction equipment safety inspections, actual accident cases and preventive measures, inspection and management tips for each type of equipment, and a related Q&A session.
In addition to this training, the National Railroad Corporation is reinforcing a prevention-focused system. In collaboration with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, it is conducting special joint inspections and comprehensive surveys, while also performing detailed checks on critical areas directly related to accidents. Safety inspections of vulnerable areas, such as construction adjacent to operational lines, are being carried out regularly.
Jung Jin-hyuk, the Commissioner of the National Railroad Corporation, stated, 'It is crucial to accurately understand and thoroughly manage the characteristics and risk factors of various equipment used in railroad construction. Through continuous practical training, we will enhance the capabilities of field technicians and create a safe railroad construction environment.'
