Safety
anywhere in the world should be of utmost importance. But, it can be difficult
to report issues in a foreign country.
The Safety e-Report website, available in
Korean and English, bridges the gap for anyone who needs to report a safety
issue in Korea.
Operated by the Ministry of the Interior and
Safety, the Safety e-Report homepage offers a place for people to report on
minor to serious accidents in daily life at home, workplaces, on roads, in
schools, in natural public environments, such as mountains, the beach and more.
Examples of reported safety issues can
include environmental issues, such as structural cracks in buildings and
inadequate safety equipment, as well as policy and custom-related issues.
To file a complaint, visit the homepage and
click the "safety report" menu. From there, attach either photographs
or images of the reported incident and mark the location on the included map.
Registration for civil complaints can be submitted as soon as any required
information in regards to hazardous factors and expected actions to be taken is
provided.
In addition, the e-Safety homepage will
display the number of reports made by individuals, as well as resolved reports,
and details of the reports.
The service's English support was introduced
at the end of 2017. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety is also preparing
to support other languages on the Safety e-Report website, including Chinese
and Japanese.
There were more than 210,000 reports received through the website in 2017, a 40 percent increase compared to 2016.
