3 4. The 2014 accident rates for works departments are summarized below: - Departments No. of Fatal Accident(s) No. of accidents per 100,000 man-hours worked Accident Rates (Fatal + Non-fatal) No. of accidents per 1,000 workers per year ArchSD CEDD DSD EMSD HyD WSD Overall Note: The limit set by DEVB with effect from 1 February 2011 is 0.60 accidents per 100,000 man-hours worked (or equivalent to 22 accidents per 1,000 workers per year). 5. The severity rates (in terms of no. of man-days lost per 100,000 man-hours worked) for 2013 and 2014 were 46.4 and 41.3 respectively. A decrease of 11% was observed. Accident Analyses 6. The accident analyses for the following aspects are given in Appendices G to O of this Report respectively. Some key findings are summarized below. (a) Type of Contracts (Appendix G) The three types of contracts having the highest accident rates are listed below: - Type of Contracts Building contracts Accident rate (no. of accident per 1,000 workers per year) (19%) -3-
4 Type of Contracts Tunnel works contracts Port works contracts Accident rate (no. of accident per 1,000 workers per year) (63%) (8%) Since the accident rates under building and tunnel works contracts in 2014 are significantly higher than the that under other types, the corresponding contract administers and site supervisory staff are reminded to pay particular attention to the safety performance on sites. As reflected in item 3 above, the consequence of accidents associated with drowning could be fatal. Works Departments with ongoing Port Works contracts should be more vigilant in supervising the contractors works. (b) Types of Accidents (Appendix H) The four most common types of accidents are listed below: - Types of Accident Slip, trip or fall on same level (20%) 42 (19%) -1 (-2%) Injured whilst manual lifting or carrying (14%) 38 (17%) 8 (27%) Fall of person from height (15%) 26 (12%) -5 (-16%) Struck by moving or falling object 34 (12%) 28 (13%) 18 (8%) -10 (-36%) -4-
5 The aggregate of these four categories has been accounted for 56% of the total number of accidents in Works Departments are to devise effective means to further reduce the number of accident in these categories. (c) Trades of Work (Appendix I) The three most common trades involved in the accidents are listed below:- Trades Labourer 150 (51%) 126 (60%) 113 (51%) -13 (-10%) Carpenter (formworker) 11 (4%) 5 (2%) 12 (5%) 7 (140%) Bar bender and fixer 5 (2%) 3 (1%) 10 (4%) 7 (233%) More morning briefings or toolbox talks for labourers are recommended in order to enhance their safety awareness.

7 (f) Agents Involved (Appendix L) The three most common agents involved in the accidents are listed below:- Agents Involved Floor, ground, stairs or any working surface Material / product being handled or stored Portable power or hand tools 46 (16%) 58 (20%) 27 (9%) (20%) 20 (9%) 42 (19%) (10%) 4 (10%) -1 (-2%) 2 (10%) The numbers of accidents associated with Floor, ground, stairs or any working surface and Material / product being handled or stored have been the highest two for the past five years.

To uphold the continuous improvement in site safety, Works Departments are recommended to pay particular attention to the following aspects: - (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) promoting workers safety awareness in manual lifting; against fall from height and falling object; and to prevent slip and trip; improving on site cleanliness and tidiness; providing sufficient instruction, training and supervision to workers to ensure their safety at work in particular for working at height, electrical works, confined space work, working in the vicinity to water & moving plant and rigging work; providing sufficient number of banksman for the lifting and other operations involving moving plant and equipment; -9-
10 (v) providing suitable fall arresting equipment e.g. safety harness, fall arrester and independent lifeline to workers who are at risk of falling from a height; (vi) maintaining an effective monitoring system to ensure workers and supervisory staff (both RSS and in-house staff) make full and proper use of PPE and safety equipment; (vii) enforcing the requirement to conduct risk assessment for all manual handling works before commencement of the work; (viii) exploring the use of mechanical aids for lifting or carrying, in order to eliminate manual handling operations as far as possible; (ix) maintaining a safe system of work including proper site layout and work plan to segregate workers from construction plant and vehicles; (x) providing adequate safety training, morning briefings or toolbox talks to labourers in order to raise their safety awareness and working attitude; and (xi) providing sufficient information and instruction to workers and paying particular attention to the workers misbehaviours during safety inspection and supervision on site. Any unsafe actions or posture observed on site should be stopped immediately. 8.
