The Silver Award - Considerate Contractors Site Award for Repair, Maintenance, Alteration and Addition (RMAA) Works Contracts, is to acknowledge the Company’s commitment and contribution to a safe working environment, hence achieving an excellent record of “zero accidents” at the Kai Tak District Cooling location since 2014.

In the same occasion, Mr. T.K.

T.K.’s participation in the Company’s “I see I act” safety promotion scheme has set an excellent example to influence his peers on upholding the importance of a safe working environment. He is the sole awardee in this award category. While Mr. Li Chi Keung, Supervisor of the Maintenance Department, was bestowed the Model Frontline Supervisor Award, in recognition of his leadership in initiating occupational safety and health campaigns as well as his efforts in motivating his team members to participate in relevant activities.

Co-organized by the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government and the Construction Industry Council, the Considerate Contractors Site Award Scheme is aiming to encourage contractors and subcontractors to work at all times in a responsible and considerate manner by providing a safe and healthy environment within and on the periphery of the site, safeguarding the safety of the staff, its neighbors and the general public.

Ir.
