Hong Kong Housing Authority and Housing Department

In view of the occurrence of a number of serious site accidents in the local construction industry in mid-2020 which has raised public concern over site safety, the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) rendered its support to the Life First Campaign launched by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) in late July. The Campaign aims to boost the safety awareness of the industry stakeholders and to enhance site safety performance. Over 50 construction projects with on-going works participated in the Campaign.

On the first day of the Campaign, the senior management of the HA and the works contractors paid visits to construction sites to deliver key safety messages to all levels of the workforce. Such key messages can be viewed from the CIC’s website.
