INDUSTRIAL SAFETY POSTER COMPETITION
***
The Deputy Commissioner of Labour, Mr. Neil Henderson, today
praised the students who took part in this year's industrial safety
poster competition for their contributions to accident prevention.
Mr. Henderson was speaking this afternoon while presenting
awards to winners in the Labour Department's sixth industrial safety
poster competition which was held at the Industrial Safety Training Centre
of the Labour Department.
"The use of posters is an important weapon in the continued
drive to reduce accidents at work, " he said.
They are a major method of reminding workers and management
of the importance of safety rules and good working practices, and warning them of potential hazards at workplaces."
Mr. Henderson said that as part of its efforts to promote work
safety, the Labour Department was now issuing safety posters at the rate
of one a month, and the output would be increased as soon as the current
paper shortage was over.
In congratulating prize-winners in this year's competition,
Mr. Henderson gave particular praise to the teachers of the Jockey Club
Government Secondary Technical School, whose students took six of the
eight prizes awarded. There were more than 300 entries.
