Reply by the Hon. J.N. Henderson, OBE, JP Secretary for Education & Manpower, to a question from the Hon. Yeung Po-Kwan, CPM

in LegCo on 13 November 1985

Question:

In view of the incident on 5 November 1985

at Construction Industry Training Authority

Kwai Chung Construction Industry Training

Centre where an apprentice was killed by a

falling iron bar, will Government inform

this Council whether there are places to

review and improve upon safety measures

governing similar training centres in order

to prevent further accidents?

Answer

Sir, this was a very tragic accident.

The

Construction Industry Training Centres have had a very good

record in industrial safety and there has been no serious

accident at these centres in the past. Indeed, this and

other training centres take care to include the teaching of

good safety practice as part of their curricula.
