Handbill on safety of fixed electrical installations
The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) has produced a handbill on the responsibilities of owners of fixed electrical installation.
The bilingual leaflet is being distributed to all households in Hong Kong together with the electricity bills of the two power companies.
An EMSD spokesman today (Monday) said the handbill aimed at reminding owners of fixed electrical installation in buildings their duties for ensuring the safety of their equipment.
"Electrical safety in buildings will be enhanced if the owners fulfil their responsibilities," he said.
Under the Electricity Ordinance, such owners are responsible for preventing electrical accidents.
"They are required to ensure that there is no illegal alteration or addition to the fixed electrical installation," he said.
The spokesman stressed that in case of doubt and to prevent accidents, owners should consult and employ registered contractors and electrical workers to do electrical jobs such as installation, maintenance and modification works.
An owner failing to fulfil his duties might commit an offence, he added.
