OSH INNO Expo opens
The opening ceremony of the Expo was officiated by the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun; the Permanent Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Ms Alice Lau; the Commissioner for Labour, Mr Sam Hui; the Chairman of the OSHC, Dr David Mong; the Vice-chairman of the OSHC, Professor Lam Chor-yin; and the Chair of OSH Innovation and Information Technology Committee, Mrs Cindy Chow.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr Sun said that the Government remains steadfast in promoting AI-driven solutions and Smart Site Safety Systems for occupational safety at construction sites. The LD is one of the pioneers in the Government in adopting innovation and technology in inspection and enforcement work. Apart from utilising small unmanned aircraft for site inspections since October 2025, the LD will introduce small unmanned detection vehicles to support inspections of high-risk drainage works and related accident investigations. In addition, to combat climate change, the LD has leveraged on the availability of extra data collected to enhance the Heat Stress at Work Warning system by incorporating more heat index measurements from additional monitoring spots across Hong Kong to improve the coverage and sensitivity of the system, thus further strengthening the protection of health of employees working in hot environments. He encouraged all stakeholders to build on the momentum of the Expo and embrace a forward-looking, data-driven safety culture, and turn “Vision Zero” into a lasting reality through collective efforts.Issued at HKT 15:40
