MORE MEASURES TO PROTECT EMPLOYEES AGAINST NOISE HAZARDS
A REGULATION THAT PROVIDES EMPLOYEES WITH MORE EFFECTIVE PROTECTION AGAINST NOISE HAZARDS IN INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS WAS APPROVED IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
MOVING A RESOLUTION ON THE FACTORIES AND INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS (NOISE AT WORK) REGULATION, THE SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER, MR JOHN CHAN, SAID IT REQUIRED INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKING PROPRIETORS ΤΟ CONDUCT NOISE LEVEL ASSESSMENTS AND DEMARCATE AREAS AFFECTED BY EXCESSIVE NOISE AS EAR PROTECTION ZONES.
A
"WHERE DEMARCATION IS IMPRACTICABLE, FOR EXAMPLE ON CONSTRUCTION SITE WHERE NOISY MACHINES ARE BEING MOVED AROUND QUITE FREQUENTLY, THE REGULATION REQUIRES PROPRIETORS TO LABEL THE NOISY MACHINES TO INDICATE THE DISTANCE WITHIN WHICH EAR PROTECTORS MUST BE WORN, MR CHAN SAID.
"DEMARCATION AND LABELLING WILL MAKE PROPRIETORS AND EMPLOYEES MORE CONSCIOUS OF THE NEED FOR PROTECTIVE MEASURES AND ALSO HELP THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT ENFORCE THE LAW."
