Safety Audits and Safety Inspections

We conduct safety audits and inspections on relevant divisions/departments from time to time to ensure all necessary safety regulations and requirements are strictly followed.

We have annual audits on the Safety Management Systems (SMS) of our major operations conducted by external certification bodies such as the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency to assure the requirements of ISO 45001 are fulfilled.

Also, we annually conduct divisional SMS audits and SMS audit at Corporate Level. No non-conformities were identified in these audits last year and the audit reports were submitted to the Labour Department for their reference.

In addition, we have conducted various types of safety inspections on operational activities of contractors and frontline employees on a regular basis to measure and monitor the health and safety performance against pre-determined plans and standards. These inspections are conducted by appointed persons with appropriate training and experience.
