The exhibition
the first of its kind in South East Asia
includes a special section on safety in the construction industry, and
illustrates, among other items, the new safety regulations for the in-
dustry which will come into force on May 1, 1974. Copies of a guide
to these regulations will also be available free of charge.
The exhibition, which will last for the whole period of the
CMA Fair from December 11 to January 9 will also illustrate by actual
demonstrations, films, and workshop settings, work hazards in a wide
range of other industries, and the measures required to counter them.
"The exhibition is a must for every employer, manager, super-
visor and worker", Mr. Price said.
The Commissioner said the exhibition was supported by other
government departments, various employers' organisations, and individual
industrial establishments. **The willingness of so many employers to join
forces with the government in staging this exhibition clearly indioates
that there is an awareness on the part of management that it needs to
play a greater part in promoting work safety.
"And the success of the fight against accidents at work dependa
on the growth of this support," he said.
Mr. Price added that the Labour Departments Industrial Safety
Training Centre had recently organised a number of courses specifically
designed to explain the requirements of the new building safety regulations.
"These courses are free of charge, and any contractor who has
not yet applied for places should do so without delay," he said.
