The forum attracted about 600 participants from the industry, including works contractors, property management agents, cleansing and security service providers, as well as HA works and estate management staff. The theme of this year was “Caring Culture for Safe Work Practice”. Site safety culture was promoted through inspiring presentations and interactive question and answer sessions. The exhibition area displayed personal protective equipment, site safety appliances and tools. At the virtual reality booth, participants could experience the lifting operation and the firefighting procedures.
