Damyang Fire Station Conducts Special Safety Inspection at 7 Local Cosmetics Manufacturing Sites
Recently, the safety of cosmetics manufacturing facilities has become a societal concern. Damyang Fire Station has conducted a special inspection of hazardous materials safety management at seven cosmetic manufacturing sites in the area. This inspection was a crucial step to prevent potential fire and explosion accidents and to enhance the safety of these facilities.
Background and Goals of the Inspection
The recent safety inspection was directly triggered by fire and explosion accidents that occurred at cosmetics factories in Yeongcheon in August 2025 and Pyeongtaek in September. These incidents highlighted the importance of hazardous materials management and reinforced the need for stronger preventive measures to prevent similar accidents in the future.

Additionally, it was verified whether basic firefighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers, was adequately maintained and managed, with on-site inspections conducted to assess the overall hazardous materials safety management system. This involved not only assessing the physical safety of the facilities themselves but also verifying the effectiveness of their safety management systems.
The efforts to thoroughly check whether each factory handles hazardous materials safely and is prepared to respond swiftly in emergencies reflect a commitment to identifying even the smallest unrecognized vulnerabilities.
