Earlier, the Hon. James Wu, speaking in support of the new
Construction Sites (Safety) Regulations, said that an educational campaign
on industrial safety in the nine months before their enforcement should
"yield very good results".
The distribution of illustrated pamphlets, posters and permanent
signs on the sites would also serve both as instruction and timely warning.
In view of the search by local contractors and builders for
more sophisticated labour-saving methods and machines to combat rising
wages, Mr. Wu said that the implementation of the regulations was
"very timely."
