Submission Information
Accidents at work (especially in factories and heavy industries) affect not only workers, but their families, employers and society at large. Yet, with good safety habits, work-related accidents can be avoided. This competition aims to promote safety at work among the employees, general public and encourage everyone to adopt a safety mindset. The theme for next year’s competition is Safety@Work, with specific focus on Falling Preventions. Falling Preventions can be translated into Falling from Heights or Falling Objects. The students’ creatives can leverage on prevention or safety in this area. To help the participants better understand the theme, the following are some examples of falls for your reference. Falling object: Fatal accidents involving falling objects
>> Case 1: Struck by Falling Objects - Dislodged Suspended Bag Claimed Worker’s Life! A fatal accident took place last year at the Eastern Special Purpose Anchorage. While lowering work tools using a rope tied to a nylon bag from a ship onto a boat, the bag suddenly detached from the rope and landed onto a worker who was standing below. He succumbed to his injuries. Falling from Height: Fatal accidents involving roof works
>> Case 2 : Worker Fell While Installing Sun-Louvre A worker was tasked to install frames for the sun-louvre on a roof extension at the second floor of a factory. He stepped on a plastic skylight which was meant to allow natural sunlight into the building. The skylight gave way under the worker’s weight and he fell to the ground. He subsequently died from injuries in the hospital. The competition opens NOW. Competition closes on Wednesday 9 April 2008. For more information, please contact:
