REF.
HONG KONG: PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS FROM MR ROBERT PARRY M.PM.
2. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED ON WHICH TO BASE REPLIES
TO QUESTIONS 1-6.
QUESTION 1
3. FIGURES FOR INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS ARE COMPILED FROM REFORTS
MADE BY PROPRIETORS OF INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS. THE FACTORIES AND INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT NOTICE BE GIVEN TO THE FACTORY INSPECTORATE OF ANY ACCIDENT IN AN INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKING WHICH INCAPACITATES A WORKER FOR ONE DAY OR MORE. DETAILS OF ACCIDENTS WHICH RESULT IN DEATH OR INCAPACITATE A
WORKER MORE THAN 3 DAYS MUST ALSO BE REPORTED BY EMPLOYERS UNDER
THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ORDINANCE TO THE COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR IN A PRESCRIBED FORM. THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM ALSO SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FACTORIES AND INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS REGULATIONS. IN ADDITION, NOTICE OF ACCIDENTS IS SUPPLIED TO THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT BY HOSPITAL CASUALTY UNITS AND
THE POLICE AND THIS PROVIDES A USEFUL CROSS-CHECK.
4. ACCIDENT STATISTICS ARE CLASSIFIED BY INDUSTRY (BY I.S.I.C.
CODE), CAUSATION,
CAUSATION, AGE, SEX, OCCUPATION, PERCENTAGE DISABILITY, INSURANCE STATUS, MONTHLY EARNINGS OF INJURED PERSONS, DURATION OF LOST-TIME, TOTAL COMPENSATION AND THE VARIOUS COMBINATIONS
OF THESE ELEMENTS.
