Room LT401, 4/F, Amenities Building, (next to Swimming pool), City University of Hong Kong
Programme Highlights
On managing workplace health and safety in Hong Kong, a legally-required safety management system incorporates 14 elements. As its name implies, any system, including a safety management system which adopts the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, necessarily involves system elements and sequential flow, which demands the “Plan” element to precede the other three elements. Similar safety tools, such as the Fault Tree Analysis and Event Tree Analysis adopt the same vertical flow pattern. The Speaker will however focus his presentation on an alternative approach in managing workplace health and safety, using a flat or horizontal mode of safety ideas collection, commonly known in the management field as brainstorming, and propose a combination of the two methodologies.
Speaker Profile
Michael Leung, has been a health and safety practitioner for over 30 years, having worked for the Hong Kong Government and large public organizations. He is a Chartered Safety and Health Practitioner, Chartered Environmentalist, Chartered Builder (U.K.) and Certified Mechanical Engineer (P.R.C.)

Dear members,
OSHC has organized a workshop "Workshop on Establishing Professional Ethics and Communication Skills for Safety Officers ” in March 2014.
Workshop on Establishing Professional Ethics and Communication Skills for Safety Officers on 3 & 4 March 2014
Safety Officers deal with different challenges every day. They not only need to maintain professional ethics at work but also have to facilitate two-way communication with management and frontline staff regarding the arrangement of occupational safety and health issues. If Safety Officers are not working well with other employees and lack of the communication skills, it would be a very difficult job for them to carry on. Occupational Safety and Health Council and Educational Movement for Human and Spiritual Development will organize a 2-day training camp especially for registered safety officers on 3-4 March 2014. From the educational ground of spiritual development, the training objectives are to emphasize the professional ethics of safety officers and to help develop effective communication skills and also to improve interpersonal relationship.
Enrolment fee and details of the Workshop can be found in the attachment (Chinese Version only) or download the leaflet at the
