  Dear Sir/Madam,

   

  The Labour Department (“LD”) has grave concern over the fire safety at construction sites.  In light of the recent changes in fire risks at construction sites that have caused serious injuries and fatalities of workers, LD have recently issued an advisory letter to major construction contractors to remind them of taking adequate safety measures to ensure workers’ safety at work.  A copy of the letter is attached below for your reference.

   

  [See attachment "Advisory Letter - Fire safety at construction sites (eng).pdf"]

   

  In the interest of workers' safety, may I solicit your assistance in forwarding the above letter to your members and reminding them to take note of the relevant safety measures, please.

   

  If you have any questions, please contact Mr JABBAR Aziz of this department on 2852 3767 or me on 2852 4960.

   

  Best regards,

  AU Lai-fan, Rosanna

  for Commissioner for Labour
