    Dear Sir/Madam,

     

    Handling of Heavy Objects in Workplaces


              The Labour Department (“LD”) is highly concerned about the accidents and dangerous occurrences involving high-risk work processes that happened in workplaces.  LD had issued the Systemic Safety Alert (“SSA”) of “Handling of Heavy Objects in Workplaces” in response to serious/ fatal work injuries
     and dangerous occurrences happened before.  Through the occupational safety and health practitioners, the SSA aims to provide employers/ proprietors with necessary advice and assistance in order to fulfill their safety responsibilities and safeguard the safety of relevant employees engaged in such works.
     
    2.       In response to the recent recurrence of similar accidents, a copy of the relevant SSA is enclosed in this email, so as to remind the relevant employers/ proprietors of the importance of following systemic safety precautionary measures to prevent recurrence of similar accidents/ dangerous occurrences.  May the occupational safety and health practitioners please forward this message to the responsible persons of the relevant contractors.
    [See attachment "Systemic Safety Alert_Handling of Heavy Objects in Workplaces.pdf"]

    The SSA could also be downloaded from the “OSH 2.0” Mobile Application or the LD’s website at:
