OWNERS URGED TO CHECK BOILERS REGULARLY

THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT HAS DISCONTINUED, AFTER MORE THAN TEN YEARS, THE PRACTICE OF REMINDING OWNERS OF BOILERS AND PRESSURE RECEIVERS THE NEED TO RE-EXAMINE THEIR EQUIPMENT WHEN THE CERTIFICATE OF FITNESS FOR THEIR MACHINES EXPIRES.
MRS. SOO MOK SAU-HA, ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR, EXPLAINED THAT THE BOILERS AND PRESSURE RECEIVERS ORDINANCE HAD BEEN IN FORCE SINCE MARCH 1963, AND BOTH OWNERS AND EXAMINERS SHOULD, BY NOW, BE WELL AWARE OF THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS IN THIS RESPECT.
SHE URGED THESE OWNERS TO DISPLAY MORE INITIATIVE IN FUTURE AND NOT TO RELY ON REMINDERS FROM THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THEIR EQUIPMENT RE-EXAMINED AT APPROPRIATE TIMES.
+THE FITNESS EXPIRY DATE IS WRITTEN AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH CERTIFICATE WHICH IS NORMALLY VALID FOR ONE OR TWO YEARS, DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF EQUIPMENT, SHE SAID.
