Guri City Launches 24/7 Construction Site CCTV Monitoring for 'Zero' Safety Accidents

Proactive Safety Response System Centered on Disaster and Safety Situation Room
Gradual Expansion Starting with Galmae Community Complex Center

Guri City in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Shin Donghwa) has taken action to prevent fires and safety accidents at construction sites in order to protect the lives and safety of its citizens. On the 28th, the city announced that it will officially commence operation of the “Construction Site CCTV Real-Time Monitoring System” to greatly enhance disaster response capabilities and establish a comprehensive disaster safety network.

This measure will begin with the Galmae Community Complex Center construction site and will gradually expand its coverage in stages. The system operates by linking the existing closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) installed at construction sites in real time with the Guri City Disaster and Safety Situation Room, enabling 24-hour monitoring of eight major vulnerable entry points and other high-risk areas.

Through this system, the Disaster and Safety Situation Room will be able to detect signs of fire, facility abnormalities, and risky behavior in real time, allowing for early identification of potential accidents on site. When abnormal signals are detected, information is promptly relayed to the site and relevant departments so that immediate initial actions can be taken, maintaining a strong early response system that blocks accidents in advance.

Guri City plans to thoroughly analyze the results of this pilot operation and, after addressing any shortcomings, expand real-time monitoring to all public construction sites in the city that are considered to have a high risk of safety incidents.

Mayor Shin Donghwa stated, “The safety of our citizens is the highest value and cannot be exchanged for anything, and the only correct approach to safety accidents is thorough prevention and proactive response.” He added, “We will continue strengthening field-oriented safety management systems to achieve 'zero' safety accidents, and all public officials will do their utmost to make Guri a safe city where every citizen can live with peace of mind.”
