Top management commitment is key to safety at work
The key to safety and health at work was the commitment of the top management, its adoption of an appropriate safety policy and the successful implementation of that policy within the organisation, the Commissioner for Labour, Mr Stephen Ip, said today (Friday).
Speaking at the opening of the Seminar on Occupational Health and Hygiene Hong Kong 1996, Mr Ip said the essential elements of an appropriate safety policy were successful hazard identification, comprehensive risk assessment and adoption of measures to minimise the risks identified.
"Successful implementation must be backed up by continuous monitoring and education. Tripartite co-operation among employers, employees and the Government is essential," he said.
Mr Ip said the Safety Charter mentioned in the Governor's 1995 Policy Address would outline the roles and responsibilities of the three parties.
