Special campaign against problem factories
The Labour Department will launch a special territory-wide campaign from April 3 to 29 against factories with poor safety records.
The campaign aims at safeguarding the safety of factory workers and producing a deterrent effect on factory owners who make light of their employees' safety.
"Surprise inspections will be made on factories which have repeatedly flouted safety law or with high hazard ratings. Factory owners found to have infringed safety legislation will be prosecuted." Deputy Chief Factory Inspector, Mr Kan Hon-sang said today (Friday).
He emphasised that efforts to pressurise factory owners to pay due attention to workers' safety would not be relaxed although fatal accidents in factories were decreasing.
"According to the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance, every proprietor of an industrial undertaking has the duty to ensure the safety and health of workers employed by providing a safe system of work, safety training and instructions and suitable personal protective equipment. Any proprietor who fails to do so will be liable to prosecution," he added.
