+ IN THE LIGHT OF THEIR FINDINGS, THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TRAINING AUTHORITY WILL REVIEW THE SAFETY MEASURES IN THESE TRAINING CENTRES WITH A VIEW TO DOING ALL POSSIBLE TO PREVENT RECURRENCE OF SUCH AN ACCIDENT, HE SAID.

MR HENDERSON POINTED OUT THAT THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TRAINING CENTRES HAD HAD A VERY GOOD RECORD IN INDUSTRIAL SAFETY AND THERE HAD BEEN NO SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THOSE CENTRES IN THE PAST,

+ INDEED, THIS AND OTHER TRAINING CENTRES TAKE A GREAT DEAL OF CARE AND TROUBLE TO INCLUDE THE TEACHING OF GOOD SAFETY PRACTICE AS PART OF THEIR CURRICULA.

→THE COMMISSIONER FOR LABOUR IS A MEMBER OF THE AUTHORITY AND WILL THUS BE IN A POSITION TO ENSURE THAT THE REVIEW IS COMPREHENSIVE AND THAT ANY NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE,+ HE ADDED.

+THEY ALSO SET OUT CLEARLY THE RELATIONSHIP, RIGHTS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF DEVELOPERS, MANAGEMENT AGENTS AND INDIVIDUAL OWNERS WITH RESPECT TO THE DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY, HE SAID.

MR LIAO SAID THESE CLAUSES WERE BEING DRAWN UP AFTER EXTENSIVE CONSULTATIONS WITH ALL DISTRICT BOARDS AND VARIOUS RELATED PROFESSIONAL BODIES.

+ IT IS INTENDED THAT AS A FIRST STEP, STARTING FROM EARLY NEXT YEAR, DEEDS ARISING FROM NEW NON-INDUSTRIAL LEASEHOLD GRANTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONTAIN THESE CLAUSES,+ HE SAID.
