The average number of occupational injuries reported monthly
increased from 2,050 in 1970 to 2,266 in 1971.
In 1971, Industrial Health Officers assessed 250 injured people
for permanent incapacity under the Workmen's Compensation Ordinance, five
less compared with the previous year.
EXTENSION OF PIER FOR CONVENIENCE OF FISHING FOLK
Government will soon extend the existing pier at Sam Mun Tsai
New Village, Shuen Wan Typhoon Shelter, to meet the increasing demand of
its use by the fishing population.
The new extension will also enable smaller police launches to
berth alongside the pier.
The works consist of the provision of a proper pier head with
sufficient depth of water alongside to allow fishing junks to berth at
most states of the tide.
Construction work is expected to begin next month, taking about four
months to complete.
