However, when the accident occurred at Baekseok Station, where one person died last week, the president of Hwangchang-hwa district heating corporation confirmed that it was not until one hour after the accident. I did not get a formal report from the company, but I received a call from someone I know. Reporting was delayed and action was delayed.

It is a reporter.

The explosion occurred in the Baekseok Station heat transfer pipe in Goyang City, which occurred at 8:40 in the evening of last 4 days. It is about one hour after about 9:40 about the president of Hwangchang-hwa district heating corporation having an accident news.

However, I received a phone call from an acquaintance, not a heating company, and I knew the accident.

Hwang also acknowledged this in his conversation with SBS.

[Hwang Chang-hwa / District Heating Corporation President: I realized that I had an acquaintance who witnessed the scene. More than reporting from the company. It was about the same time as getting a Goyang disaster letter.]

After a while, I received the disaster safety letter that was sent to all the local residents.

[Hwang, Chang - Hwa / District Heating Corporation President: I think it 's reported to the president only if the personnel accidents happen in scale. On that day ... ]

Hwang acknowledged that it was too late to report and said that he would improve the situation where external personnel are in charge of safety management work.

But on the other hand, there is also controversy over whether the so-called parachute personnel management is the issue of governance.

Hwang was a secretary at the time of Prime Minister Lee Hae - chan 's prime minister, and took office in October after passing through the head of the National Assembly' s library.

The district heating corporation decided to issue measures by the end of January next year, but it seems that a comprehensive inspection of personnel and systems is necessary.
