ㅇ The support project is a project to support the installation and operation of smart construction safety equipment, such as intelligent (AI) CCTV, structural collapse/displacement hazard warning equipment, etc. at small and medium-sized construction sites under 300 billion won.

ㅇ Last year, as a self-project of the Homeland Security Agency, it was implemented for 12 locations in the Yeongnam area.

ㅇ To ensure fairness and professionalism, a steering committee including external experts will be formed to comprehensively evaluate and review the scale of construction, remaining construction period, and presence or absence of risky construction.

ㅇ The period of support for installation and operation of equipment is adjusted according to the conditions of the site, but supports up to one year.

ㅇ Details regarding the competition can be found on the website of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (www.molit.go.kr) and the website of the Homeland Security Administration (www.kalis.or.kr).

□ Minister of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport Kim Young-guk, director of technology and safety policy, said, “In order to reduce construction accidents, a lot of attention and effort are needed even at small and medium-sized construction sites where there are many construction fatalities.”

ㅇ “This pilot project for smart construction safety support will increase construction companies’ interest in construction safety and serve as an opportunity to prepare a system for compulsory smart construction safety equipment in the future,” he said.
