FACTORY PROPRIETORS REMINDED TO USE MACHINE GUARDS
******
FACTORY PROPRIETORS WERE TODAY (FRIDAY) REMINDED THAT THEY COULD FACE PROSECUTION AND HEAVY FINES IF THEY FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE GUARDS ON DANGEROUS PARTS OF THE IR MACHINERY AS REQUIRED UNDER THE FACTORIES AND INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS (GUARDING AND OPERATION OF MACHINERY) REGULATIONS.
THE REMINDER CAME FROM A LABOUR DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN FOLLOWING A RECENT COURT CASE AT THE CAUSEWAY BAY MAGISTRACY WHERE THE OWNER OF A CHAI WAN FACTORY WAS FINED A TOTAL OF $5,000 FOR FAILING TO GUARD DANGEROUS PARTS OF 10 PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING MACHINES.
THE FINE WAS THE MAXIMUM FOR SUCH AN OFFENCE.
