Subcontractor workers suffered a lot… Repeat ‘outsourcing risk’
The aging of the Yeosu Industrial Complex… Need to enact legislation to reorganize industrial complexes
Police investigate explosion accident company officials… compulsory investigation
[앵커]
On the 11th, an explosion occurred at the Yeocheon NCC factory in Yeosu Industrial Complex, Jeollanam-do, killing 4 people and injuring 4 others.
The root causes of accidents are the aging of the industrial complex and outsourcing of risks.
A major improvement seems urgent to prevent safety accidents at the Yeosu Industrial Complex that are repeated every time.

The explosion at Yeocheon NCC in Yeosu, Jeollanam-do killed four people in an instantaneous explosion.
Except for one worker who died in the accident, the remaining 3 dead and 4 injured were all subcontractors.

Just two months ago, an explosion occurred at the Yeosu Industrial Complex, killing three workers.
Even at that time, all of the victims were daily workers of subcontractors, so the so-called ‘outsourcing of risk’ is repeated.

Another problem is outdated facilities.
The Yeosu Industrial Complex, which was built more than 50 years ago, has been stigmatized as a ‘powder of death’.
This is why it is necessary to enact a law to reorganize old industrial complexes.

The police are investigating the cause of the accident and whether safety regulations were properly followed during the work process by calling in the officials of the company where the accident occurred.
In addition, it is said that they are considering a forced investigation in the near future to secure data related to the accident.
