Enhancing Safety for Working in Confined Spaces
提高密閉空間工作的安全性

PMD organised a safety training course on confined spaces operations for Venue Management
Personnel, designed to enhance the safety knowledge among frontline workers, including on-
site managing officers, technicians, and building supervisors. Led by a trainer from the OSHC, the
programme comprised of two training sessions with 60 participants in total. The training aimed
to address safety concerns and ensure compliance with the Labour Department’s revised Code
of Practice , which was introduced in response to previous accidents. The curriculum covered
essential topics such as legal requirements for confined space work, stakeholder responsibilities,
the implementation of safe working systems, hazards of confined space operations, and emergency
response arrangements.

Additionally, our maintenance contractors at our estates have installed video surveillance systems
to enable the standby personnel outside the confined space to monitor situations and promptly call
for rescue when necessary. We have also reviewed safety practices and term contracts for water
tank cleaning in both rental estates and most managed properties under PMD, ensuring effective
implementation and compliance with the updated safety requirements.

物業管理部為場地管理人員舉辦密閉空間工作安全培訓課程，加強前線人員（包括現場管理人員、技術員和大廈
主管）的安全知識。一共兩節的培訓課程均由職安局的導師主持，共有六十名參加者。該培訓旨在回應安全問
題，確保符合勞工處為應對事故而修訂的《工作守則》。該課程涵蓋了基本主題，例如密閉空間工作的法律要求、
持份者的責任、安全工作系統的實施、密閉空間操作的危害以及緊急應對安排。

此外，我們屋邨的維修承辦商已安裝視頻監控系統，讓密閉空間外的待命人員能夠監察情況，並在有需要時及時
呼叫救援。我們亦審查出租屋邨和大部分物業管理部所管理物業的水箱清潔安全守則和合同，以確保有效實施和
遵守更新的安全要求。
