Prosecution against labour law offenders in 1995
The Labour Department achieved 8,621 convicted cases against labour law offenders in 1995, resulting in a total fine of more than $47.8 million.
Compared with the figures in 1994, the number of convictions and total fines imposed last year increased by 11.3 and 59.3 per cent respectively.
Senior Labour Officer (Prosecutions). Mr Jolm Sung, said today (Saturday) that the department would continue to step up prosecutions against employers who did not abide by labour law.
"They will have to pay for their malpractices if they do not take the safety and welfare of workers seriously," he added.
About 39 per cent or 3,387 of the convicted cases last year were related to industrial safety. Among them, 3,252 involved the violation of the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance and 135 the Boilers and Pressure Vessels Ordinance.
