1,264 sites checked in special industrial safety drive
More than 110 factory inspectors of the Labour Department involved in the territory-wide special industrial safety operation checked 396 more construction sites in the past week. The total number of sites inspected so far reached 1,264.
A total of 117 summonses would be issued to building contractors for breaching industrial safety laws as a result of the operation. The total number of summonses to be issued under the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance has increased to 384 up to yesterday (Thursday).
The special task force comprising 10 factory inspectors inspected another 59 sites in the third week and recommended the issuing of 36 summonses.
Another 100 factory inspectors engaged in the special inspection exercises, which was completed yesterday, checked 337 more sites and recommended the issuing of 81 summonses.
The breaches detected over the third week related mainly to failing to provide suitable working platforms or scaffolds; failing to provide proper fencing of dangerous places; failing to ensure the use of personal protective equipment by workers and failing to provide adequate safety measures in the use of lifting appliances. These were similar to the previous two weeks' findings.
