A road pavement construction site in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province on the evening of the 1st.



The construction machinery that compacts the ground by going back and forth stops and the moment the driver moves, the machine jumps forward.



Three workers were killed in the accident, which occurred when the driver's jacket got caught in a neutral gear while he was trying to remove a safety cone caught in the wheel.



It has been confirmed that the police and the Ministry of Employment and Labor have found circumstances in which safety measures have not been properly implemented during the investigation process.



At the time, the construction company claimed that "four signalers were normally deployed to the site," but it was found out that all of them were doing work other than the work of the signalers at the time of the accident.



We also secured a statement that the work plan was not written properly and that safety training was insufficient.



[Ministry of Labor ATTN: If you want to leave the driver's seat (workers) are either training prior to separation from the driver's ignition key, no matter were I can not have these precautions]



Police do not keep a safe distance between the machine and the operator I'm paying attention to the point.



[Police official: It has to be something like '5m in front, 2m on both sides', which is stipulated for work (safe distance).

Whether or not I did it as a matter of fact...

.] The



police and the Ministry of Employment and Labor are planning to file a case together with the on-site manager and other related persons, as well as subcontractors and corporations in charge of subcontracting.



The machine operator arrested on the charge of manslaughter on the job was sent to the prosecution yesterday (14th).
