Occupational Safety

87.         The Government attaches great importance to promoting safety at work.  The Labour Department (LD) vigorously enforces the law and takes special enforcement actions against industries with poor safety records.  Together with the Occupational Safety and Health Council, related workers’ unions and trade associations, the LD launches occupational safety and health initiatives, and organises large-scale publicity campaigns and education activities to raise industries’ awareness and standards of occupational safety and health.
