Lotte removes over 8,000 safety hazards in new tower

Lotte Corp. eliminated over 8,000 safety problems in the past year at the Lotte World Tower, which is slated to open in April, the company said Sunday.
The company said a total of 8,266 safety cases were found in its independent probe from November last year, with 97 percent of them fixed.
The problems included trivial maintenance issues to safety-related matters such as managing fire apparatus and protective equipment.
“Checking only one floor takes a lot of time and effort as each floor is around 991 to 1,652 square-meters. The four-hour inspection was found to take 10 kilometers of walking a day,” said Lotte Corporation.
As safety concerns rose over the tower amid a series of construction accidents and cracks found on walls and the aquarium in 2014, the company started to run the safety committee from January last year.
