INDUSTRIAL SAFETY TRAINING PROGRAMME INTENSIFIED
The Labour Department's Industrial Safety Training Centre is
intensifying its training of workers and supervisory staff in accident
prevention,
Mr. Chan Wing Kai, Industrial Safety Training Officer of the
Labour Departmont, revealed this when he was addressing the Castle Peak
Lion's Club dinner this evening.
In the last financial year, he said, the Centre had organised 40 courses on basic and advanced accident prevention; 74 on safety in specialised
processes such as power press operation and woodworking; and a special
course to train industrial safety officers for individual factories.
Officers of the Centre had also given safety talks to some 5,700
technical students during the same period.
"In the current financial year, the Centre is offering a total
of 150 courses, and will give talks to an estimated 6,500 technical
students," Mr. Chan said.
In addition to conducting training courses, the Centre has organised two seminars on safety in the construction industry.
Mr. Chan said the training courses and seminars not only helped
participants gain a deeper understanding of industrial hazards, but also
helped change some of their basic attitudes towards industrial safety.
