Advanced Approach to Mitigate Risks during Adverse Weather Conditions

The safety of workplace during the inclement weather conditions such as typhoons, rainstorms and thunderstorms has long been the prime concern across the construction industry as they may cause serious accidents.

Please visit https://www.oshc.org.hk/oshc_data/files/greencross/2016/GC200505.pdf to appreciate the safety measures recommended by OSHC for the workplaces subject to the adverse weather conditions.

A Guide on Safety at Work in times of Inclement Weather published by Labour Department can be downloaded at https://www.labour.gov.hk/eng/public/os/D/InclementWeather.pdf

Together with the employers/proprietors’ obligation to ensure the safety and health of their workers at work under the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (Cap 509) and Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance (Cap 59), some advanced construction technologies commercialized in the market can be applied as advanced site safety management measures to minimize the risks.
