Labour Department highly concerned about fatal work accident that happened in Kowloon City today
To prevent workers from falling while working at height, the LD reminds employers to take adequate precautionary measures, including providing workers with suitable and adequate safe means of access to and egress from working locations, and ensuring that all dangerous edges are properly and securely fenced off. If the provision of the above-mentioned measures are not practicable, employers should provide suitable full-body harnesses to workers, which should be attached continuously to suitable and secure anchor points or independent lifelines with fall arresting system so as to protect workers’ work-at-height safety. Issued at HKT 20:30
