The
Occupational Health and Safety Council (OHSC) has set
"Safe Working Cycle" as the theme for this
year's promotional campaign for the construction industry.
The Safe Working Cycle Seminar and Award Presentation
was conducted to recognize the industry's efforts in
implementing the Safe Working Cycle. Fifteen out of
47 contesting sites were shortlisted as finalists to
participate in the Safe Working Cycle Seminar. Three
of the shortlisted sites belong to SOBC and SOC.
Shui
On started implementing the Safe Working Cycle in July
2000. The daily morning meeting in the Safe Working
Cycle enables two-way communication between project
management and workers. As a result, more practicable
safety measures can be adopted to meet the actual needs
of frontline workers. Since the implementation of the
Safe Working Cycle, site safety performance has shown
marked improvement, and a stronger sense of teamwork
and participation has also been developed.
SOBC
and SOC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Shui On Construction
and Materials Limited (SOCAM). As early as June 1992,
SOBC became the first building contractor to achieve
ISO 9002 certification in Hong Kong. SOC also obtained
ISO 9002 certification in December 1995. Both companies
were awarded the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment
Series (OHSAS) 18001 certification by the Hong Kong
Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) in November 2000. They
were also awarded ISO 14001 certification by the HKQAA
and the China National Accreditation Committee for Environmental
System Certification Bodies (CACEB) in 1999 and 2000
respectively.
