The Safety Advisor will provide assistance and advice to TDD's project engineers in the Development Offices and resident site staff on all matters relating to construction site safety.
Meanwhile, the unit will also arrange training opportunities for professionals and resident site staff to enhance their site safety awareness.
Mr Lee stressed that construction safety had been accorded a very high priority by the Government.
"All TDD staff are therefore asked to ensure that safety on construction sites receives close attention, and that the safety message is spread as widely as possible," he said.
