In recent years the casualties of shipboard operations have been at high levels in the waters of the Hong Kong SAR,of which the casualties involving cargo handling operations are the worst and the number of serious casualties of Mainland crew has greatly increased.In response to the above situation,the government of the Hong Kong SAR has proposed to amend the relevant legislation in order to introduce mandatory safety training for persons engaged in works on vessel:specified disciplines of workers,including forement,tally clerks,crane operators,signallers,stevedoring workers,forklift truck operators,works supervisors,crew of lighters or Mainland coastal cargo vessels,etc.,are required to attend approved safety training courses and to hold valid certificates of training before they can be engaged in works on vessels. Through the mandatory safety training,the persons engaged in works on vessels may be imbued with relevant basic safety knowledge and safe operation guidelines.Hence their safety awareness will be raised,nd the objective of reducing accidents may be achieved.The government of Hong Kong SAR is going to implement the newly amended legislation relevant in 2002.Henceforth in the waters of Hong Kong SAR,the specified disciplines of workers of the above mentioned vessels,including the vrew of the Mainland river trade cargo vessels and coastal cargo vessels,are required to hold valid certificates of training.
