In this respect, he noted that the Labour Department had offered facilities

for the training of supervisors in industrial safety practices and the Fire

Services Department also had run courses on fire prevention.

"It is sincerely hoped that all concerned in the shipbreaking industry

will take advantage of these training and instruction courses.

"We look forward to receiving from the industry recommendations based

on their experience for inclusion in future editions of the guide. It must

also be noted that in the absence of legislation, the use of the guide is

purely voluntary," Mr. Lack said.

QUEENSWAY TO BE REALIGNED

The Public Works Department is proposing to widen and realign the

whole of Queensway and parts of Murray Road and Queen's Road East..

The project is to eliminate the double bend at Queensway near the

Naval Terrace. This bend of 122 degrees has a very high accident rate.

The improvement scheme also includes the construction of a footbridge

across Queensway.

An announcement has been made in the Government Gazette and anyone

objecting to the proposal should do so by July 23. Claims for compensation

should be made by August 23.
