One out of three companies that failed to conduct facility safety inspections was evaluated again for poor performance.

Over the past five years, 280 repeated arrests... Kim Jeong-jae “Repeatedly insolvent companies must be systematically managed”

(Sejong = Yonhap News) Reporter Oh Jin-song = It was found that companies that received poor evaluations in facility safety inspection and diagnosis continued to perform related work, and one out of three of them received poor evaluations again.

According to data submitted by People Power Party lawmaker Kim Jeong-jae, a member of the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee of the National Assembly, from the National Land Safety Management Agency on the 11th, a total of 280 companies have received poor evaluations more than twice in facility safety inspections and precision safety diagnosis over the past five years.

Precise safety inspection/precise safety diagnosis of facilities is a procedure to investigate and evaluate the defects and safety status of major facilities such as bridges and buildings. The Land Safety Management Institute evaluates the appropriateness of inspection and diagnosis results performed by professional companies.

Among the companies that received poor evaluations over the past five years, 74 were caught twice, 86 were caught 3 to 5 times, 48 ​​were caught 6 to 10 times, 33 were caught 11 to 20 times, and 39 were caught 21 or more times.

One company received as many as 656 poor evaluations over the past five years, and there were also companies that received 652, 394, and 246 poor evaluations.

The number of companies that performed detailed safety inspection and diagnosis again after receiving a poor evaluation was 570, and the total number of facilities they inspected and diagnosed was 114,600.

In particular, 183 (32.1%) of these 570 companies were found to have received poor evaluations again. One out of three companies that resumed work after receiving a poor evaluation showed that the poor performance was repeated. Among the inspections and diagnosis performed again by these companies, the number of cases evaluated as poor reached 2,235.

In the current system, depending on the degree of insolvency, sanctions such as business suspension, cancellation of registration, imposition of fines, and deduction of business performance evaluation (PQ) points when bidding for new services are possible.

However, since business suspensions and fines are managed by local governments and PQ deductions are managed by the ordering agency, it appears that the Korea Land Safety Management Agency does not directly manage the actual follow-up disposition results.

Rep. Kim said, “It should not end with finding insolvency, but it should be possible to check at a glance the actual administrative disposition, subsequent re-performance, and whether there is re-insolvency,” and added, “The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Land Safety Management Service should link information with local governments and ordering agencies to systematically manage repeatedly insolvent companies.”
