내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Chun Jae-soo) announced that it will hold the “Practical Capacity-Building Training for Serious Public Accident Personnel for the Second Half of 2026” today, September 21, at 2:00 p.m. in the International Conference Room on the 12th floor of Busan City Hall.

Approximately 240 working-level personnel responsible for serious public accident-related duties at Busan Metropolitan City headquarters, directly affiliated agencies, municipal offices, districts and counties, public corporations, and other public agencies will attend the training.

The training has been organized to help personnel responsible for serious public accidents accurately understand their statutory obligations to ensure safety and health, as well as key inspection requirements, and to strengthen the prevention and response capabilities needed in the field based on actual cases.

The training will be led by Park Ji-yeon, managing partner of PK Law Firm, who participated in industrial accident trials while serving as a prosecutor and was also a member of a task force dedicated to safety accidents. The lecture will be held under the theme “Understanding the Serious Accidents Punishment Act and Serious Public Accidents.”

Key topics will include the main provisions and core obligations under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, major inspection items that working-level personnel should check, cases involving serious public accidents, on-site precautions, and preventive measures.

In particular, the training will go beyond explanations of relevant laws and systems by presenting major cases, highlighting matters that can easily be overlooked in the field, and providing practical preventive measures. A question-and-answer session will also be held to address practical issues encountered by personnel in the course of their work.

Through this training, Busan Metropolitan City expects personnel to further recognize the importance of preventing serious public accidents and to operate safety and health management systems more effectively in ways tailored to the characteristics and on-site conditions of each organization.

Lee Byeong-seok, Assistant Mayor of Citizen Safety Office, said, “Preventing serious public accidents requires more than simply checking compliance with statutory obligations. Above all, it is essential to have the practical capability to proactively identify and address hazardous and risk factors in the field.”

He added, “Busan Metropolitan City will continue to provide training and support so that personnel can accurately understand relevant laws and cases and faithfully implement practical preventive measures in the field.”
