Gwachon City Corporation has initiated safety training for all employees and a review of on-site response systems following a recent safety incident at the Gwachon Citizens' Hall ice rink.
On September 15, the corporation held a 'Disaster Safety Accident Prevention Commitment Ceremony' for all employees at the ice rink.
The event aimed to share details about a carbon monoxide leak incident and to raise employee awareness about preventing similar accidents.
Employees recited a commitment statement and signed a pledge to practice disaster safety accident prevention.
They agreed to thoroughly adhere to safety regulations, including preemptive inspections of facilities and work environments, and to take immediate action upon identifying hazards.
The corporation also plans to conduct special safety and health training for each department.
The training will cover step-by-step response procedures, including initial situation reporting, evacuation, access control, and notifying emergency services, as well as on-site response measures to prevent secondary accidents.
Continuous on-site inspections and drills will be conducted to identify and improve disaster risk factors.
Citizens have expressed the need for enhanced safety management in facility usage following the incident.
One resident stated, "Since this is a facility used by citizens, it is more important to ensure proper inspections and management are conducted regularly rather than just responding after an accident occurs."
Another resident added, "I hope that not only the ice rink but also other facilities in the citizens' hall are checked for safety issues, and that the results and improvements are communicated to the public."
Meanwhile, a corporation official remarked, "We feel a heavy sense of responsibility regarding this incident and will continue to strengthen safety management and employee training to ensure that hazards are identified and addressed promptly."
