BREATHING APPARATUS MUST BE APPROVED
The Commissioner of Labour today invited applications from
manufacturers of breathing apparatus for approval of their equipment
under the newly enacted Factories and Industrial Undertakings (Confined
Spaces) Regulations 1973.

The Regulations, which will come into effect on November 1, 1973,
stipulate among other things, that any person entering a confined space
must wear an approved breathing apparatus, unless the place has been
certified safe by the proprietor. Proprietors are also required to keep
a sufficient supply of such approved equipment..
Applications from manufacturers or their local agents should
be made in writing to the Commissioner, Labour Department, Canton Road
Government Offices, 4th floor, Kowloon.
