SAFETY FIRST FOR STUDENTS
About 60 students of the Kowloon Technical School today visited
Hong Kong's Industrial Safety Training Centre as part of a new Labour
Department programme to promote industrial safety.
The department's Industrial Safety Training Officer, Ir. Chan Wing-kai,
said the programme was aimed at instilling into the younger generation the
importance of industrial safety.
"Most of these technical students will eventually take up industrial
employment" he said, "and it is of the utmost importance to make them aware
of the industrial hazards and the precautionary measures required well in
advance."
Training officers of the centre also explained to the students,
in detail, the basic principles of industrial safety. The talks were
supplemented by film shows.
Similar visits are being arranged for other technical schools and
institutes, and for the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups during the summer
holidays.
