The spokesman pointed out that the ordinance had empowered the Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services to monitor the use and operation of builders' lifts and tower working platforms, to stop the use of unsafe installations, to enter construction sites to inspect the installations and to investigate accidents in connection with the installations.
"Anyone breaching the safety requirements specified in the ordinance is liable to a maximum fine of $200,000 and imprisonment for 12 months," he said.
Meanwhile, EMSD has produced a bilingual pamphlet entitled "Safe Use of A Builder's Lift and Tower Working Platform" to promote the safe use of these installations.
Copies of the pamphlet have been distributed to various trade associations and institutions. They are also available free of charge at all District Offices of the Home Affairs Department.

Invisible effort behind-the-"screens"
It is a really comfy and snugly thing to sit in front of your television and view your favourite television programme, especially after a hard day's work.
But you may not be aware that the impeccably clear vision in front of you requires the hard work of others.
"It is our duty to regulate the use of radio communication equipment and to ensure that the reception of television programmes is free from unwanted interference," said a Senior Controller of Telecommunications, Mr Andrew Tang of the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA).
It is not strange to us that OFTA is in charge of regulation and licensing of telecommunications services. But it also looks after the technical regulation of television and sound broadcasting services and prepares plans for the installation of new transposers in order to improve coverage.
