於2022年11月18日, Mr. Johnny HO, 「保安業商會」會長及「香港保安學會」行政總裁, 出席亞洲安防會議(https://www.build4asia.com/events/asiansecuritex-conference/) 並成為其中一名講者。 他談及香港保安業在制訂保安業資歷架構方面的工作,並講解保安從業人員可如何透過「過往資歷認可機制」,無須重新接受培訓,根據他們在工作場所獲得的經驗和能力而取得資歷架構認可資格。

轉眼間已到2022年的最後一天,又是回顧過去,展望將來的時刻。
過去一年,香港保安業發生了兩宗與職安健相關的死亡事故,包括:
(一) 8月份,一名保安員在一間健康中心的入口處以手動形式關閉一道機動横向滑動式金屬閘門時,被一扇倒下的閘門壓斃。詳情可參閱勞工處給東主/僱主發出的職安警示及參考資料(https://www.labour.gov.hk/.../WSA_Pressed_by_a_Toppled...)
(二) 10月份,一名保安員在執行保安巡邏時,從一幢住宅樓宇 5 樓的平台墮下 至地面身亡。詳情可參閱勞工處給東主/僱主發出的職安警示及參考資料(https://www.labour.gov.hk/.../WSA_Fall_from_height_TC.pdf)
操作閘門及巡邏都是保安日常工作,前線保安人員對工作地點的職安健意識固然重要,同樣重要的是保安管理人員對自身的職安健責任的認識,包括做好風險評估,採取足夠的安全措施及為前線人員提供適當的指示及培訓等。
寄望來年大家身心康泰,事業進步!

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of 2022. Let me take this chance to look back on the past and look forward to the future.
In the past year, two tragic events occurred in the security industry, both of which involved OSH-related fatalities. They include:
(1) In August, a security guard was pressed to death by a toppled leaf of a gate when she was closing the power-driven metal horizontal sliding gate manually at the entrance of a health center. For details, please refer to the Work Safety Alert issued by the Labor Department to proprietors/employers (https://www.labour.gov.hk/.../WSA_Pressed_by_a_Toppled...)
(2) In October, a security guard plunged to death from the flat roof on 5/F of a residential building onto the ground floor while conducting security patrol. For details, please refer to the Work Safety Alert issued by the Labor Department to proprietors/employers and related reference materials (https://www.labour.gov.hk/.../WSA_Fall_from_height_EN.pdf)
Operating gates and conducting security patrols are day-to-day security tasks. While it is important for security personnel in the frontline to be aware of safety and health at work, it is equally important for security personnel at the management level to be aware of their occupational safety and health responsibilities, which include conducting risk assessment, putting in place safety measures, and providing adequate instruction and training to frontline security personnel.
Wishing you safety and health, and prosperity in the coming year!
Penny Fung, Director of Training and Professional Development
