MORE URGED TO TAKE BOILER TRAINING COURSE
*****
THE FIRST CANDIDATES WHO ATTENDED A TWO-HOUR TRAINING COURSE ON THE OPERATION OF SMALL ELECTRIC IRONING BOILERS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO ATTEND TO BOILERS UNDER EXEMPTION ORDERS ISSUED BY THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT.
ANNOUNCING THIS TODAY, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE ORDERS WERE ISSUED BY THE PRINCIPAL SURVEYOR OF THE DEPARTMENT'S PRESSURE EQUIPMENT UNIT AFTER THE CANDIDATES HAD PASSED A MULTIPLE-CHOICE TEST ON COMPLETION OF THE COURSE.
THE ORDERS, HOWEVER, ARE VALID FOR ONLY 14 MONTHS, DURING WHICH A CANDIDATE SHOULD OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCE FROM THE UNIT BY PASSING THE APPROPRIATE EXAMINATION. FAILING THIS, HE WILL NO LONGER BE ALLOWED TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE BOILERS AFTER THE ORDER EXPIRES.
THE SPOKESMAN REITERATED THAT THE TRAINING COURSE IS AIMED AT ASSISTING FACTORY PROPRIETORS IN OBTAINING COMPETENT PERSONNEL FOR THE OPERATION OF THEIR IRONING BOILERS.
HE URGED THE PROPRIETORS TO SEND THEIR STAFF TO ATTEND THE COURSE, AND STRESSED THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HESITATE TO DO SO EVEN IF THE STAFF DO NOT POSSESS A HIGH EDUCATIONAL STANDARD.
+THE COURSE DOES NOT REQUIRE A HIGH EDUCATIONAL STANDARD. WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO HELP CANDIDATES TO PASS THE TEST,+ HE NOTED.
THE SPOKESMAN EXPLAINED THAT THE MINIMUM QUALIFICATION FOR THE COURSE IS TWO MONTHS' EXPERIENCE IN OPERATING IRONING BOILERS.
THE COURSE TAKES THE FORM OF A TWO-HOUR LECTURE TO BE GIVEN IN CANTONESE BY INSPECTORS FROM THE UNIT, AND THOSE WISHING TO JOIN THE COURSE SHOULD CALL ON THE UNIT ON THE 4TH FLOOR OF CANTON ROAD GOVERNMENT OFFICES, 393 CANTON ROAD, YAU MA TEI. THE TELEPHONE FOR ENQUIRIES IS 3-688111 EXT. 352.
THEY SHOULD BRING ALONG THEIR HONG KONG IDENTITY CARDS, A LETTER FROM THE IR EMPLOYERS CONFIRMING THEIR PERIOD OF SERVICE IN THE OPERATION OF ELECTRIC IRONING BOILERS AND A COPY OF THE CERTIFICATE OF FITNESS FOR REGISTERED BOILERS.
