for the training of supervisors in industrial safety practices and the Fire
Services Department also had run courses on fire prevention.

will take advantage of these training and instruction courses.
"We look forward to receiving from the industry recommendations based
on their experience for inclusion in future editions of the guide. It must

QUEENSWAY TO BE REALIGNED
The Public Works Department is proposing to widen and realign the
whole of Queensway and parts of Murray Road and Queen's Road East..
The project is to eliminate the double bend at Queensway near the
Naval Terrace. This bend of 122 degrees has a very high accident rate.
The improvement scheme also includes the construction of a footbridge
across Queensway.
An announcement has been made in the Government Gazette and anyone
objecting to the proposal should do so by July 23. Claims for compensation
should be made by August 23.
