REGISTRATION OF FACTORIES
Booklet Gives Reasons
Since January this year, a campaign has been conducted by the
Labour Department to encourage proprietors of registrable workplaces to
come forward and apply for registration if they have not already done so.
The Commissioner of Labour, Mr. Paul Tsui said today that a
six-month period of grace would be granted.
After that period which will expire on July 12, he stressed
that more effective measures would be employed to help enforce the law.
Subsequently, an open letter was written to chairmen of more
than 650 Trade Organisations, Clansmen Association, Landlords and Tenants
Association, bringing the matter to their attention.
In that letter, it was mentioned that a simplified booklet
on the subject was being prepared.
This simplified booklet, in both Chinese and English, has now
been printed. It is entitled "Why you should (and how you can) register
your factory".
Copies of this booklet are being sent to organisations and
associations concerned. Proprietors and persons planning to have their
workplaces registered may also obtain copies from any of the offices of
the Labour Department.
