Staff Safety and Health

In parallel with providing staff with training and development opportunities, we strive to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for the entire workforce. We obtained the OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certification in as early as 2012, and have set up a Safety Steering Group to oversee and coordinate the occupational safety and health (OSH) affairs of the Department, ensuring that OSH risks are eliminated or effectively controlled.

We have also established a number of monitoring committees, namely, the Electrical and Mechanical Branch Safety Management Committee, the Sewage Treatment Works Safety and Health Management Committee, and the Direct Labour Force Safety Management Committee. They are all composed of DSD staff from various disciplines and grades who account for about 3% of the entire staff establishment. Meetings are held regularly to discuss and review OSH-related issues and measures. In 2017-18, there were 5 work injury cases and 20 accident cases.
