The annual ACP Construction Safety Award Scheme has been organised since 1993 by NAPCO to promote construction safety in ACP construction sites and to reduce accidents.
A new "Safety Promotion Award" will be introduced for the first time this year to give recognition to those who have made the best effort in promoting construction safety to their staff, workers and sub-contractors.
The other two awards will be the Safety Management Award and the Safety Record Award. The former will be presented to those sites with a high quality of safety management while the latter will only take into account safety records of the
sites.
Also officiating at today's launching ceremony were Legislative Councillors Mr Tam Yiu-chung, Mr Edward Ho, Dr Leong Che-hung and Dr Samuel Wong, as well as the Director of NAPCO, Mr Billy Lam.

Eligibility of "working person" to register as voter
In response to press enquiries, a spokesman for the Registration and Electoral Office (REO) said today (Monday) that any part-time worker, casual worker and seasonal worker is a "working person" eligible for registration as an elector provided that:
he has been working, whether or not for the same employer, for four weeks or more for at least 18 hours in cach of the four weeks immediately preceding the date of application; or
he has been engaged in work of less than 18 hours of work per week at the time of application but he is able to show a consistent pattern of employment during the period of not less than 12 months immediately preceding the date of application.
The spokesman pointed out that exceptional cases would be considered individually on their own merits.
