Animation - Use Dehumidifiers Properly
(web accessible version)
======================================
Part 1：Dehumidify? A clean dust screen is what you need!
A boxing match is about to start.
The first appears on the stage is an animated dehumidifier which is blue coloured, clean and tidy, and fully instrumented. An innovative and shiny dust screen flies out from behind. This blue player turns around and the dust screen fits into his back. After assemble, he happily turns to the audience. Large blue words “Clean Dehumidifier” appear on the right side of the screen.
What comes next is another animated dehumidifier which is green coloured, fully instrumented, and with stains and black round framed glasses on his face. A black and dirty dust screen with dust sticking on it flies out from behind. This green player turns around, and the dust screen fits into his back. After assemble, he smilingly turns to the audience. Large green words “Dusty Dehumidifier” appear on the left side of the screen.
The referee, dressed in white with a bow tie, stands between the two players, first raising his right hand to introduce the blue player on the right, then raising his left hand to introduce the green player on the left. Meanwhile, 2 lines of orange words “ Water Absorption Power Competition for Dehumidifiers” appear above them.
A giant yellow timer appears on the screen, and then an explosion box pops up with the word "ding" on it.
The screen is split into halves, the left showing the “Clean Dehumidifier” and the right the “Dusty Dehumidifier”. After they wave their hands to greet the audience, the game officially starts.
The “Clean Dehumidifier” feels relaxed and displays his powerful water absorption capacity. Water continues to be absorbed into the water tank which soon becomes 100% full. The red word “Victory” appears above his head.
However, the “Dusty Dehumidifier” demonstrates weaker water absorption capacity. Despite his painstaking efforts to absorb water until his face turns red, he can only absorb 20%, and then collapses. The blue word “Defeat” appears above his head.
The referee comes out to announce the result. On the right side of the screen, the words “Dehumidify? A clean dust screen is what you need!” are shown. The lower right corner shows the Enquiry Hotline 1823 and the Website: www.emsd.gov.hk of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department.
======================================
Part 2: Remember not to put the dehumidifier under dripping clothes!
The Dusty Dehumidifier on the left and the Clean Dehumidifier on the right are fiercely arguing. They both get very agitated, with smoke emitting from their heads and their fists tightly clenched. They furiously break up, turn away from each other and finally walked in opposite directions.
The green Dusty Dehumidifier is being bordered by boredom and grievances. The blue Clean Dehumidifier comes to say "Hi" and then pats his arm. Anger burns in the Dusty Dehumidifier. When the Dusty Dehumidifier almost bursts into a rage, the Clean Dehumidifier immediately calms him down, points to the top of his head, and asks him to look up.
It turns out that a row of clothes drying above him are still dripping. The Clean Dehumidifier points to the dripping clothes, reminding the Dusty Dehumidifier to stay alert.
The Dusty Dehumidifier winces in the lower right corner of the screen, and a cloud-shaped frame appears above his head where he is hit by the water dripping from the clothes, making him dizzy with electricity leakage, and then falling onto the ground... Thinking about the consequences, the Dusty Dehumidifier becomes frightened with cold sweats. The Dusty Dehumidifier is really touched and breaks into tears by what the Clean Dehumidifier has done. The Clean Dehumidifier comforts him and expresses that he has already forgiven him. The two finally shake hands and smile.
The Clean Dehumidifier points to the right of the screen, and the words “Remember not to put the dehumidifier under dripping clothes!” appear on the right. The lower right corner shows the Enquiry Hotline 1823 and the Website: www.emsd.gov.hk the information of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department.
======================================
Part 3: Do not overuse your dehumidifier. It will pose a safety risk!
In an office, the Clean Dehumidifier and the Dusty Dehumidifier, dressed as clerical staff with shirts and ties, are busy with processing documents in front of their computers, making phone calls and inputting data.
The Clean Dehumidifier finishes his tasks one by one. He drinks water from time to time, walks away and takes a break, and returns home after work at night.
The Dusty Dehumidifier is anxiously doing his job, and keeps picking up more documents for further processing. He is so busy that he doesn’t have time to eat. He just grabs some bread to eat while working... He is unwilling to stop even until he becomes exhausted and dizzy. Despite his extreme tiredness, he insisted on working overnight in the office.
The next morning, the Clean Dehumidifier returns to the office and finds the Dusty Dehumidifier nearly collapsed, almost fainted with electricity leakage ...
On the screen, the Dusty Dehumidifier feels weak and shaky and is not even able to stand properly. Black smoke, water vapour and electric flashes are seen constantly emitting from his body. On the right side of the screen, the words “Do not overuse your dehumidifier. It will pose a safety risk!” popped up. The lower right corner shows the Enquiry Hotline 1823 and the Website: www.emsd.gov.hk of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department.

Animation - To be suitable or not, it is no doubt that compatibility comes first!
(web accessible version)
Description of visual: The screen shows three hands with chopsticks reaching out to the dim
sum steamer basket in the center and picking up the dim sums from inside. The word “夾” (literally means “suitable” or “to clip”) appears on the dim sum steamer basket.
Narrator: When it comes to suitability, it is always about whether something
matches something else.
Description of visual: There are several red words next to the dim sum steamer basket. The
headline “To be suitable or not, it is no doubt that compatibility comes first!“ comes out after placing the words together.
A boy with freckles and orange hair pulls out quickly from right to left
a background setting featuring the earth and the starry sky.
Narrator: Well, in this world, there are things that match with each other, but
there are also some that just don’t. You can't force it.
Description of visual: The boy stands in the middle of the screen with hands over his chest.
Three big words “是咁的” (literally mean ”the point is that”) appear in front of him, and soon he is surrounded by different kinds of foods. With his left hand akimbo and right hand holding chopsticks, the boy is considering which food to choose.
Narrator: For example, sushi is of course a good match for sashimi but not
for green beans or curry, right?
Description of visual: The boy rests his chin in his hands, casting greedy eyes at the three
pieces of raw fish sushi. The screen changes. The boy is stunned while staring at the sushi with green beans and curry flavors.
Narrator: Likewise, freshly grilled roast pork goes perfectly well with bean
curd sheets and tofu.
Description of visual: The boy dresses himself up as a piece of roast pork, being clipped by chopsticks and grilled on raging fire. The screen changes. Two girls, one is a bean curd skin and the other one a bean curd, appear from both sides of the roast-pork boy.
Narrator: Speaking of hairstyle, it definitely has to suit one’s face shape.
Following the crowd is not a good idea!
Description of visual: The boy pulls off the costume of roast pork and becomes a boy with
bob hair style, then turns into a superstar wearing sunglasses and the hair style as Elvis Presley, and finally a blonde princess in the Princess hair style.
Narrator: Need to match!
Description of visual: The screen shows a flash of photo-taking. Then the boy appears with the look as a shower superman wearing an orange cloak. Next to him is the caption “a shower head with water control valve”.
Narrator: In the same way, shower heads and electric water heaters must match
too.
Description of visual: The shower superman fades out slowly from the screen. Then appears a beautiful woman dressing up as an electric water heater. Next to her is the caption “a shower storage type electric water heater”.
Narrator: Shower heads with on/off control valves do not suit shower storage
type electric water heaters.
Description of visual: The shower superman and the electric water heater beauty look at
each other, showing great affections.
Narrator: Even if a shower head with an on/off control valve can be installed on
a shower storage type electric water heater, it doesn't mean they are suitable for use.
Description of visual: The shower superman presses his water control valve, and its display
changes from ON to OFF.
Narrator: If you switch off the valve and turn on the water heater to boil water,
the pressure inside the heater will build up. Failure to release the pressure may result in explosion.
Description of visual: The shot moves along the red hose below the shower head, until it
shows the electric water heater beauty. The pressure inside the electric water heater beauty is becoming bigger and bigger. Her whole body turns red and finally explodes. The heater superman next to her is totally shocked.
Narrator: So, please bear in mind that shower heads with on/off control valves
don’t go well with shower storage type electric water heaters!
Description of visual: With tears, the shower superman “unfriended” the electric water
heater beauty on the social media.
Narrator: But they are a good match for other type of electric water heaters!
Description of visual: The shower superman discovers some other types of electric water
heater beauties, and he likes them very much.
Narrator: Make sure you get it right before you buy! End!
Description of visual: The screen shows the caption “a shower head with water control valve
is not suitable for a shower storage type electric water heater!!”. At this moment, the shower superman changes back to the boy with orange hair, and utters a word “the end”. The information of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department is shown at the lower right corner of the screen:

Continuous Learning for Trades
To facilitate proper operation and maintenance of fresh water cooling towers, EMSD has prepared a video for reference by owners and property management agencies.
Hello, Miss Cheung (Manager).
Please take a seat.
What's the matter, Chairman?
I've just taken up the post of Chairman of the Owners' Corporation.
I want to know more about the management of our building.
I've recently read news about the growth of Legionella bacteria in cooling towers.
As what I know,Cooling tower is being used in the air-conditioning system of our building, isn't it?
Yes, Chairman, you can rest assured.
For the fresh water cooling tower in our building, or "cooling tower" in short, we have already joined the Fresh Water Cooling Towers Scheme for Air Conditioning Systems (FWCT Scheme) managed by EMSD.
Its design, installation, operation and maintenance have fully complied with EMSD's code of practice and guidelines.
As the owner of the fresh water cooling tower, we have the responsibility to design, operate and maintain the cooling tower properly.
And we have arranged regular inspections, timely maintenance and periodic water quality tests of our cooling tower as per the Code of Practice for Water-cooled Air Conditioning Systems issued by the EMSD to prevent the proliferation of Legionella bacteria.
Separately, we know that to address the concern of potential risk of Legionnaires' disease related to cooling towers, the Government has formulated a package of enhancement measures for regulatory control of cooling towers.
Among others, EMSD will regulate improperly maintained or contaminated fresh water cooling towers under the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance, Cap 132 (PHMSO).
The tower owners shall ensure proper operation and maintenance including water treatment of their cooling towers so as to prevent contamination and nuisance to the public.
What's Legionnaires' disease?
In fact, it is an infectious disease caused by a type of bacteria called Legionella.
It was named after an outbreak of Pneumonia occurred in a Legion Convention in USA in 1976.
Legionella bacteria can be found in natural aqueous environment as well as man-made water systems, such as lakes, rivers, ponds and fresh water cooling towers.
Proper design, operation and maintenance of cooling towers can prevent the growth of Legionella bacteria.
How should we do to ensure proper operation and maintenance of cooling towers?
Our building has engaged a specialist contractor to conduct regular operation and maintenance for our cooling tower.
I'll have a meeting with the contractor next week.
We may ask their engineer to elaborate on that at the meeting.
Okay.
Let's start the meeting.
This meeting is to discuss the arrangement of operation and maintenance of the cooling tower in our building in the coming year.
Engineer Wong is the representative of Proper Engineering Company and is in charge of the operation and maintenance of the cooling tower in our building.
Hello, everyone.
Chairman, you may ask Engineer Wong questions now.
Engineer Wong, I want to know why Legionalla bacteria can proliferate in cooling towers.
Let us first understand the configuration of a cooling tower.
Cooling tower is to lower water temperature by evaporative cooling.
Let's look at this.
A cooling tower is generally a device used in an air-conditioning system for lowering water temperature by evaporative cooling in which the ambient air is drawn in to contact with the falling water to absorb heat before discharge into the atmosphere.
Why can it proliferate Legionallae easily?
It is because Legionellae can be found in natural aqueous environment, such as lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, mud and soil, and also survive in man-made water systems as well.
The optimum temperature for proliferation of the bacteria is around 20oC to 45oC, particularly in the range of 35oC to 43oC.
So, the operating temperature of the cooling water in cooling towers is optimum for the growth of Legionallae.
Engineer Wong, can you elaborate on how to reduce the potential risk of spreading Legionnaires' disease by fresh water cooling towers?
The Fresh Water Cooling Towers Scheme for Air Conditioning Systems (FWCT Scheme) managed by EMSD was launched as a pilot scheme early in 2000.
It has changed its pilot status to a standing one since 2008.
Under this scheme, a set of code of practice and brochures have been promulgated to provide guidelines for owners, property management agencies and relevant engineering personnel on the design, installation, operation and maintenance of cooling towers.
Owners are advised to apply early in the planning or design stage of the proposed cooling tower installations for joining the Fresh Water Cooling Towers Scheme managed by EMSD.
They should ensure that their proposed cooling towers are suitably located, with proper design and installation provisions for prevention of Legionnaires' disease.
Then, what are the requirements for the design and installation?
The design and installation guidelines are detailed in Part 1 of the Code of Practice.
Let me explain to you the main points.
Requirement 1
Cooling towers shall be sited away from surrounding air intakes and exhausts, operable windows and public thoroughfare with minimum 7.5 m horizontal separation to minimize the drift and air emitted from the cooling towers to enter a building through outdoor air intakes and operable windows as well as nuisance to the public.
It also prevents the exhaust air from a building from affecting the water quality of the cooling towers.
For a cool ing tower wi thi n 7.5m from its own building facade boundary, it shall be sited away from air intakes and exhausts and operable windows on its vertical building facadeby minimum 7.5 m below or 20 m above.
Requirement 2
Cooling towers shall be installed with effective water treatment equipment to control bacterial growth.
Pipeworks and equipment should be installed to discharge bleed-off water to a flushing tank for flushing purpose.
Requirement 3
Cooling towers shall be provided with effective drift eliminators to minimize the formation and release of drift.
Drift means water lost from the cooling tower as liquid, droplets or aerosols entrained in the exhaust air, excluding condensation.
Requirement 4
Dead-legs shall be minimized to avoid stagnant water in the cooling water circulation pipeworks for the cooling tower which promotes bacterial growth and contamination of the system.
Where unavoidable, purge valves should be provided to the dead-legs for regular draining.
Requirement 5
Cooling towers shall be provided with suitable access to allow for maintenance, inspection and water sampling.
Separately, tower owners should also ensure compliance of their installations with relevant statutory requirements, such as water connection under Waterworks Ordinance and supporting structures under Buildings Ordinance.
I see. Then what are the requirements for the operation and maintenance of cooling towers?
With proper operation and maintenance, fresh water cooling towers can achieve better energy efficiency and operational performance, assure public health and safety as well as minimize nuisance to the public.
For operation and maintenance, tower owners should engage a specialist contractor to operate and maintain their cooling towers according to Part 2 of the Code of Practice.
In addition, EMSD has published a leaflet titled “Good Operation and Maintenance Practice of Fresh Water Cooling Towers for Air-conditioning Systems”in which concise guidelines are provided.
Firstly, on the operational aspect, cooling towers and water treatment facilities should be regularly maintained by a specialist contractor.
Cooling water should be continuously or intermittently filtered and treated with chemicals, or other proven physical methods to control corrosion, scaling and microbial growth.
Water treatment chemicals should be added by automatic dosing devices which may either be of metered dosing or proportional dosing type to suit the application.
In the aspect of chemical treatment, use two different biocides alternatively at periodic intervals, use combination of two compatible chemicals for better control, or conduct occasional slug dosing to maintain higher biocide concentration.
Cooling water should be regularly bled off and replaced with make-up water to limit the concentration of dissolved solids left behind in the cooling water.
Continuous bleed-off is recommended with control by a conductivity meter.
Intermittent discharge may be adopted for small-sized cooling towers by a manually or timer-operated drain valve.
As to routine inspection and preventive maintenance, cooling tower installations should be regularly inspected and properly maintained.
Inspection should include cooling towers and their associated mechanical equipment, water treatment facilities and water tanks.
Firstly, for weekly routines, check cooling water for clarity, surface debris, algae and temperature.
Check water level of basin and foaming condition of the cooling tower.
Check bleed-off valves, strainers, drains and float valves for proper operation.
Check operation condition of water treatment dosing equipment, and check water treatment chemicals or materials for adequacy and safety.
Check operation conditions of cooling tower fan and drive, water treatment dosing facilities as well as water pumps.
Drain stagnant water in dead-legs by manual purging for at least 15 minutes each.
Run all standby condensing water-side equipment for at least 1 hour.
Then, for monthly routines, monthly water sampling and testing should be carried out.
The operation details and water test results should all be recorded in Form CT3.
Check internal surface condition of cooling towers.
Check water basin, tower framework, fills and drift eliminators.
For quarterly routines, adjust and lubricate fans, motors bearings and pumps.
Adjust and lubricate all moving parts of valves.
Clean water distribution pipeworks including nozzles.
Half yearly routines are as follows:
Water basin and internal surfaces of cooling towers should be cleaned, desludged and disinfected at least every 6 months.
Circulate first biodispersant in the system.
Chlorinate the water by 5 milligrams per liter, circulate for 4 hours and then drain.
A minimum level of free residual chlorine at 5 ppm should be maintained throughout the entire cooling tower water circuit.
Manually clean and desludge internal surfaces.
Refill and recirculate chlorinated water for 6 hours and then drain.
A minimum level of free residual chlorine at 5ppm should also be maintained throughout the entire cooling tower water circuit.
Clean fills and drift eliminators.
Remove end cap in each header for cleaning.
Then, how can we ensure there is no Legionella bacteria in the fresh water cooling towers?
This can be done by regular monitoring of water quality.
Regular water sampling and testing of cooling water should be carried out and tested by laboratories accredited by the Hong Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (HOKLAS), including, monthly testing of heterotrophic colony count (HCC) as well as quarterly testing of Legionella bacteria count (LBC).
If bacterial level is at or above the control thresholds, the water treatment programme should be reviewed and remedial actions should be taken according to the Code of Practice.
If bacterial level is at or above the lower control threshold (but below the upper one), i.e. LBC at or above 10 cfu/ml or HCC at or above 100,000 cfu/ml, online disinfection shall be carried out for cooling towers.
Cooling towers can be kept in operation during online disinfection.
If bacterial level is at or above the upper control threshold, i.e. LBC is detected to be at 1,000 cfu/mL or more, or HCC is at 5,000,000 cfu/mL or more, emergency decontamination shall be carried out at once.
After completion of online disinfection and emergency decontamination, water samples should be tested until bacterial level resumes normal to ensure the efficacy of the remedial actions.
Detailed procedures of online disinfection and emergency decontamination can be found in Part 2 of the Code of Practice.
Owners or property management agencies may ask the cooling tower specialist contractors to arrange water sampling for testing by an accredited laboratory.
Besides, to monitor if owners of cooling towers have properly discharged their responsibility to properly operate and maintain cooling towers, EMSD will carry out random sampling inspections of cooling towers and collect water samples for bacterial testing for surveillance monitoring of the overall water quality conditions.
According to water sample testing results, EMSD will take regulatory actions in accordance with the provisions of PHMSO.
If bacterial level is at or above the control thresholds, remedial actions shall be taken according to EMSD's instruction and water samples have to be tested until bacterial level resumes normal.
I fully understand now.
Chairman, besides proper operation and maintenance, management of cooling towers is also vital.
Please elaborate on that.
Owners or property management agencies should keep an operation and maintenance (O&M) manual prepared by the cooling tower specialist contractor for managing the maintenance of the fresh water tower cooling system.
The operator should keep records of system operation, routine inspection, water sampling results and maintenance work.
The O&M manual and records should be kept by authorized personnel and readily available for inspection and reproduction when authorized public officers demand for them.
Owners or property management agencies should engage an independent auditor to conduct audit on operation and maintenance of the system annually to check maintenance manual and records, conduct visual inspection, and identify risks and problems with recommendations on remedial actions if any.
Owners of cooling towers at non-domestic premises are encouraged to apply for joining the Fresh Water Cooling Towers Scheme managed EMSD, which will be conducive to their management of cooling tower installations.
If they have not done so, they can visit EMSD's website for relevant information and application details.
Last but not least, it is about the audit procedures.
Annual independent audits of operation and maintenance records of cooling tower systems shall be carried out by an independent and competent auditor.
The auditor may be hired by the building or water-cooled air conditioning system owner, or the property management company; but shall not be employed by the cooling tower specialist contractor.
Re-inspection or follow up action may sometimes be required if improvement work or remedial action is suggested by the audit results.
After completion of the audit process, the auditor shall submit a signed copy of formal Annual Audit Report each to the system owner and EMSD.
The Report should focus to assess whether the scheduled operation and maintenance work have been properly carried out in the past year and appropriate actions that have been taken in case of poor water quality. The Report should also highlight any necessary improvement and remedial actions.
The Auditor should have relevant operation and maintenance experience on cooling tower systems and possess either one of the following qualifications:
Registered Professional Engineer in Building Services or Mechanical discipline ; Higher Certificate or above in building services or mechanical engineering plus at least 5 years of operation and maintenance experience on cooling tower systems.
We have done annually the audit and submitted reports to EMSD.
That's nice.
I fully understand now.
Thanks for the detailed explanation by Engineer Wong and Miss Cheung.
Let's work together for better operation, maintenance and management of the cooling tower of our building.
Good idea.

Railway Safety
Light Rail pedestrian crossings/Entry gates / Escalators / Lifts
Hi! We are the Sing’s family.
We’re going by MTR to a Super Star concert.
At the Light Rail pedestrian crossings, we have to obey the Light Rail safety signs and the pedestrian signals.
Wait behind the yellow line. Take note of the “Lookleft” or “Look right” indication before crossing.
Pay attention to the audio warnings from the Light Rail vehicles, and watch out for turning vehicles. Always get off your bike and push it across the crossing.
Go, go, go.
Super Star! Here I come!
Mom, you should...
first touch your Octopus on the reader. Make sure the arrow shows and the “Please enter” message is shown before passing through the gate. Don’t rush through!
Grandpa, you can use the wide gate when you have baggage.
Look, Mom! Let’s take this escalator.
Wait for me, Sing. Don’t go onto the escalator by yourself !
Mom, don’t look at your phone. Look at where you’re going! And stand still! We should always hold the handrail and stand clear of the step edges and take extra care if we are wearing sandals!
As you have baggage, Grandpa, why don’t we take the lift to the platform? It is safer and more convenient. Sing will be waiting for us with Mom on the platform.
Platform screen doors
The train has come, let’s go! Super Star, here I come!
Stop! Stop!
When you hear “Do Do Do”, Please Stop, don’t rush or force your way inside! You may hurt other passengers or even yourself!
Don’t lean against the platform screen doors.
Don’t place your hand on any moving part of the platform screen doors.
On the platform
When we are waiting for the train , we should stand behind the directional arrows and wait in line.
Let passengers exit from the train first before boarding.
Be careful, Sing!
Grandpa, please mind the gap between the platform and the train.
Inside the train compartment
Mom, look at me!
Attaboy!
Sing, this is dangerous! You may hurt yourself and disturb other passengers.
Grandpa, please don’t spoil Sing!
Mom, I want to buy a metallic balloon to take to the concert. I hope Super Star will do his best!
You must not bring metallic balloons into the MTR, Sing! It may trip the overhead line and affect the train service if the metallic balloon flies away.
Inside the train compartment/ Transfer
Be careful, Mom! Don’t keep talking on the phone. Your fingers were almost caught by the doors! It’s much safer to move inside the train compartment and hold the handrail.
Thank you! That’s so thoughtful of you, Papa!
Grandpa, there’s an empty seat. You may sit here.
Sing, you know what to do, right?
Yes! I will offer my seat to any passenger in need. Please sit here, Madam. Be careful!
Thank you, little boy!
We need to interchange to another line.
On platforms without automatic platform gates/ platform screen doors
Grandpa, you should keep your baggage behind the yellow line.
Alright.
Take extra care on rainy days, as the floor may be slippery.
Got it!
Well done, Sing. We should always wait behind the yellow line on platforms without platform screen doors or automatic platform gates.
Passenger inside train compartment feeling unwell
Mom, look!
Are you alright, Madam?
If a passenger on the train feels unwell, you may ask a station staff for help at the next station.
Only use the Emergency Call handle or Call button in an emergency. Don’t misuse it!
Something drops onto the track
Dad…, look out! That man dropped something on the track!
I will go down and pick it up after the train departs.
Excuse me. Always ask MTR staff for help. Never try to pick up anything by yourself. That’s very dangerous!
Thank you. I’m going to ask the station staff for help now!
We have arrived on time!
Super Star…Super Star, here we come!

Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme
VO:
The Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme aims to inform the public about the energy performance of electrical products and gas stoves so as to facilitate consumers’ choice on selecting energy efficient products during their purchase. The Energy Efficiency (Labelling of Products) Ordinance is the first legislation on energy efficiency in Hong Kong that came into effect in May 2008. The Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme (MEELS) currently covers eight types of products accounting for about 70% of the annual electricity consumption in the residential sector. After the third phase of MEELS is fully implemented in December 2019, the entire scheme is expected to save about 600 million kWh per year which is equivalent to an annual electricity consumption of about 125,000 households.

Electricity / illumination / Air-conditioner / elevator
VO:
About 90% of the electricity consumption in Hong Kong is from buildings. Since September 2012, the Buildings Energy Efficiency Ordinance was fully implemented to govern the energy efficiency standards of four major building services installations. It is estimated that by 2025, about 2 billion kWh of electricity will be saved each year, equivalent to about 420,000 households annual electricity consumption.
VO:
At present, there are many aged buildings in Hong Kong. After a long period of operation, energy efficiency performance of building may be declined. The use of “retro-commissioning" for timely checking of energy efficiency performance of existing buildings, and identifying areas for improvement can save about 5% of energy consumption. We and other stakeholders are implementing “retrocommissioning”in some government buildings and private buildings, and will continue to promote and develop this energy-saving measure with a view to inject new impetus into building energy efficiency performance.

Guidelines for Modernising Existing Escalators
MC
Various kinds of escalators bring us convenience
An escalator is after all a machine in motion
How can we make it safer and more reliable?
In this video, we are going to introduce eight safety guidelines on modernising escalators
Drama
Auntie Li
Good morning, Uncle Ming
Why don’t you use the escalator?
It’s tiring to climb the stairs
Uncle Ming, the escalator shakes when I stand on it
It seems not quite stable
Our escalator has just undergone maintenance
And officers at our management office always keep an eye on the use of the escalators
You can rest assured
Is it really safe?
Certainly
With us (registered workers) being the “Safety Duo”
regular maintenance for lifts and escalators here is carried out on a monthly basis
We have never missed a single service
Are you working so hard that
you conduct maintenance works every month?
Of course
According to the Lifts and Escalators Ordinance (Cap. 618)
responsible persons for escalators shall ensure that
the escalators are kept in a proper state of repair and in safe working order
If maintenance works are to be carried out
the responsible persons shall employ a registered escalator contractor
to carry out regular maintenance for the escalators at intervals not exceeding one month
and arrange a registered escalator engineer
to examine the escalators thoroughly at intervals not exceeding six months
Apart from regular maintenance and examination
are there any other ways
to make this escalator safer
more reliable and more comfortable?
We, the “Safety Duo”, are here today
to carry out modernisation works for this escalator
and to implement the eight enhancement measures proposed by the EMSD
in order to further enhance the safety of escalators
Wow! As many as eight measures?
Yeah! Let’s take a look at the latest information on the upgrade of escalators
MC:
Escalators in Hong Kong were installed in different decades
While they met the technology standards then at the time of installation
with rapid technology development in recent years
there is room for improvement for the then-installed escalators
so that they can be safer, more reliable and more comfortable
It must however be emphasised that
with proper maintenance and periodic examination
the existing escalators are safe for use
There are eight newly designed enhancement measures in total, which are elaborated as follows
Solution 1: Install Skirt Panel Safety Devices
To prevent serious injury due to trapping between skirting and steps,
skirt panel safety devices can be installed
to detect any objects being trapped between skirting
and steps and stop the escalator automatically
Apart from installing skirt panel safety devices at the points of upper and lower
transition from incline to horizontal
skirt panel safety device shall also be installed along the inclined section.
Solution 2: Install Skirt Panel Deflector Devices (Plastic Brush Bristles)
To reduce the risk of trapping between skirting and steps
deflector devices in the form of brush bristles suitably fixed along the skirting
can be installed to guard passengers’ feet
loose clothing and foreign objects
from possible trapping in the gap between steps and skirt panel
Solution 3: Install Obstruction Guards
To reduce the risk of trapping passenger’s head or upper limb
obstruction guards can be installed at floor intersections
criss-cross escalators and building obstacles
In particular, at floor intersections and on criss-cross escalators
a set of fixed guard and suspended guard shall be placed
For vertical building obstacles
fixed guards shall be installed
The position of the obstruction guards
shall effectively prevent injuries to the passengers
Solution 4: Install Emergency Stop Switches
To stop the escalator in case of emergency
push button type emergency stop switches can be installed
Apart from placing emergency stop switches in conspicuous
and easily accessible positions at or
near to the upper and lower landings of the escalator
additional emergency stop switches shall also be installed
for escalator with rise above 12m
Solution 5: Install Landing Floor Plate Safety Devices
To reduce the risk of injury if passenger falls into
the machinery space under the landing floor plate due to the dislocation of the plate
a safety device can be installed under the landing floor plate to stop the escalator
if there is dislocation of any landing floor plate detected
Solution 6: Install an Auxiliary Brake
To prevent passenger from losing balance due to sudden acceleration
or reversal movement of the escalator
an auxiliary brake can be installed to stop the escalator
when the following abnormal situations are detected:
before the speed exceeds a value of 1.4 times of the rated speed;
by the time the steps change from the preset direction of motion; or
failure of the coupling of the operational brake and the driving wheels of the steps
For detecting such abnormalities mentioned above
unintended reversal monitoring switch
overspeed governor
broken step chain safety device
and broken drive chain safety device shall also be installed
Solution 7: Install Step Sagging Safety Devices
To reduce the risk of trapping due to step sagging
a monitoring device can be installed underneath
the running steps to stop the escalator if any sagging of the step is detected
Solution 8: Install Missing Step Safety Devices
To prevent missing step which could be a serious trapping hazard to passengers
a monitoring device can be installed at each driving
and return station to detect any missing step
and prevent missing step emerges from the comb plate
Drama
With these enhancement measures
everyone can use the escalators in a more comfortable manner and at ease
Auntie Li, now you can rest assured in using the escalator
Thank you for your efforts!
Not at all! We’re professional, aren’t we?
Safe use of escalators depends on all of us
Remember to stand firm and hold the handrail
when using the escalator
MC
Responsible persons for escalators are recommended to study and discuss with
engineering consultants or registered escalator contractors
regarding the technical problem and feasibility of installing the above-mentioned devices
and implement the improvement measures
Before carrying out the improvement works
the responsible persons should consider whether there is enough space in the escalator for such works
the technical feasibility of the project and whether there is sufficient budget, etc.
to determine whether they should replace the main components of the existing escalator
or install new safety devices
The responsible persons may also consider
replacing the entire escalator to meet the latest safety standards today
Besides, the responsible persons for escalators should take note that
when major alterations are made to an escalator
the registered contractors should be required to ensure that all replaced devices
including components or parts
must be in compliance with the requirements under the Lifts and Escalators Ordinance
and the Code of Practice on the Design and Construction of Lifts and Escalators
If you have any enquiries on the above escalator enhancement items
please dial 1823 or

Escalator Safety Devices
MC Tag : We use escalators as part of our daily lives. They are moving machines, so in order to protect the safety of escalator users, a series of safety devices are incorporated to the design of escalators.
MC Tag : With technology development and enhanced safety requirements, these safety devices are correspondingly under continuous improvement. Now let me introduce each of them to you.
MC VO : Firstly, an escalator must have a structure with sufficient mechanical strength to carry the passengers. For example, the steps of an escalator should have the mechanical strength to carry no less than 600kg/m2, the strength of which is equivalent to that a step with about 1m in width should be able to support the aggregate weight of at least 3 adult passengers.
MC VO : Also, the inspection covers and floor plates should be able to support the weight of at least 500kg/m2, the strength requirement of which is equivalent to that of supporting about 6 to 7 adult passengers in a 1m2 area.
MC VO : As for the handrails of public service escalators, the breaking strength must be at least 25,000N in order to prevent the handrails from breakage. The breaking strength of 25,000N is approximately equivalent to 2.5ton in weight.
MC VO : Besides the above-mentioned structural strength requirements, there are many safety devices installed in an escalator. These include the missing step safety device. If any missing step is detected, the device will stop the escalator.
MC VO : In case of sagging of any part of the step so that the meshing of the combs is no longer ensured at the point at which the steps enter the landing, the step-sagging safety device will stop the escalator, avoiding damage of the steps and combs due to collision.
MC VO : Passengers must pass through the inspection covers and floor plates in order to travel on an escalator. Safety devices are installed beneath these inspection covers and floor plates. If the inspection cover or floor plate is opened, the escalator will be stopped in order to prevent workers from getting injured by the moving parts in entering the machine room for work.
MC VO : There is also the broken handrail safety device. If a broken handrail is detected, the device will stop the escalator to ensure passengers’ safety.
MC Tag : The clearance between the step and the skirting and between two consecutive steps shall not exceed 4mm and 6mm respectively, in order to prevent foreign objects being trapped at these locations.
MC VO : The deflector device normally in the form of brush bristles is suitably placed on the skirting to guard passengers’ feet from coming into contact with skirting and reduce the possibility of trapping of passengers’ shoes between skirting and steps.
MC VO : If foreign object is trapped between skirting and steps, for example a passenger’s shoe being trapped between the skirting and the steps, then the skirting safety device will stop the escalator.
MC VO : Besides, in case of foreign objects being trapped at the point where the steps enter the comb, the comb plate safety device will stop the escalator.
MC VO : Similarly, in case of foreign objects being trapped at the handrail inlet, the handrail inlet safety device will stop the escalator to prevent trapping of foreign objects, such as fingers.
MC VO : Every escalator has an overspeed governor to monitor its operating speed. If the operating speed exceeds a certain threshold, the overspeed governor will be actuated to stop the escalator, preventing accidents by overspeeding.
MC VO : Besides, when the deviation of the speed of handrail from that of steps exceeds a certain threshold, the handrail speed monitoring device will stop the escalator to prevent accidents.
MC VO : An escalator is driven by drive chains. If breakage or undue elongation of the drive chains is detected, the broken drive chain safety device will stop the escalator to prevent accidents.
MC VO : Similarly, the steps of an escalator are driven by step chains. If breakage or undue elongation of the step chains is detected, the broken step chain safety device will stop the escalator to prevent accidents.
MC VO : Furthermore, by the time the steps change from the preset direction of travel, the unintentional reversal monitoring device will stop the escalator to prevent accidents.
MC Tag : With regard to braking system, the function of the main brake is to maintain the escalator in a stationary position when the escalator service is normally suspended and to stop the escalator when any of its safety devices is actuated.
MC VO : In order to prevent possible passenger injury on an abrupt stop, the escalator, on actuation of the braking system, will not completely be stopped at once, but will have a stopping distance for buffer before it comes to a complete stop. Depending on the rated speed of the escalator, the stopping distance ranges from at least 0.20m to at most 1.7m.
MC VO : In addition to the main brake, an escalator also has an auxiliary brake. The auxiliary brake will assist in stopping the escalator under failure of the main brake and other specific circumstances.
MC VO : Furthermore, the emergency stopping device is usually installed at the entrance and exit of the escalator, or in other conspicuous and easily accessible positions at or near to the landings of the escalator. The escalator can be stopped by pressing the device button in case of emergency.
MC VO : Besides the above-mentioned safety devices, there are other safety facilities such as the obstruction guard and the machine protective cover. The obstruction guard is to prevent passengers from injury by touching building obstacles and the bottom of an adjacent criss-cross escalator.
MC VO : The machine protective cover is to protect workers from injury by the rotating parts during their work.
MC Tag : Besides safety design of escalator, periodic maintenance and examination for the escalator is equally important to its safe operation.
MC VO : In accordance with the Lifts and Escalators Ordinance (Cap.618), the responsible person for escalator must employ a registered escalator contractor to carry out the periodic maintenance works for the escalator at intervals of not exceeding 1 month and arrange a registered escalator engineer to conduct the periodic examination at intervals of not exceeding 6 months, so as to ensure that the escalators and all its associated equipment or machinery are kept in a proper state of repair and in safe working order.
MC VO : Furthermore, the responsible person for escalator should frequently inspect the escalator and be aware of the conditions of the escalator. The items that the responsible person should be aware of include:
(1) Whether there are any abnormal noises when the escalator operates;
(2) Whether the steps, combplates and handrails of the escalator are damaged;
(3) Whether the inspection covers and floor plates are secure;
(4) Whether the escalator start, stop and operate in a normal manner;
(5) Whether the emergency stopping device for use by passengers function effectively; and
(6) If any passenger is found using the escalator improperly, stop him/her immediately.
MC Tag : If a problem is found, the escalator should be stopped immediately. Place a fence when necessary to avoid passengers from using the escalators and notify the registered escalator contractor for repair.
MC VO : Besides proper daily escalator management by the responsible person for escalator, passengers should also pay attention to the following items when using the escalator...
(1) Do not overload the escalator;
(2) Do not interfere with the escalator equipment;
(3) Hold the handrail and do not walk on the escalator to avoid accidents;
(4) Do not play or run on the escalator;
(5) Do not extend your body outside the handrail;
(6) Keep your feet away from the skirting or yellow stripes;
(7) Keep trolleys, prams, bicycles or wheelchairs off the escalators;
(8) Do not play with the emergency button which is to be used only in an emergency;
(9) Children must be accompanied by adults when using the escalator;
(10) Lift your foot when stepping on and off the escalator to avoid losing balance and getting the front of your shoes trapped;
(11) Assist the elderly and those in need. People with mobility problems or carrying large items are advised to use the lifts;
(12) Do not go beyond or vandalize the obstruction guards;
(13) When wearing open-toe footwears such as slippers or sandals, be careful of the gaps between the steps or between the steps and the skirting. Keep clear of the deflector;
(14) Pay attention to the gaps between the steps or between the steps and the skirting when wearing long dresses;
(15) Lift the umbrella up when carrying one. Don’t place the tip of the umbrella into the slots or in between the steps;
(16) Pet owners must hold their pets firmly;
(17) Do not go in the opposite direction as the escalator;
(18) Do not sit on the escalator;
(19) Do not climb on the handrail.
MC Tag : Escalators are safe machines. If the responsible persons for escalators properly manage their escalators, the registered escalator contractors and engineers properly carry out the periodic maintenance and examination, the passengers follow the safety guidelines in using escalators, everyone can use the escalators at ease.Escalator Safety Devices[MP4 format (220MB)] (Only Cantonese dialogue provided) Download script

Managing Lift and Escalator Incidents - Misconceptions about Lift Plunge
MC VO : In Hong Kong, lifts and escalators have become part of our daily lives. Most residents use them everyday to travel between floors within a building when going for school, work, home or even shopping.
MC Tag : Since we frequently use lifts and escalators, their safety issues are indeed worthy of our attention.
MC Tag : Proper maintenance and repair can indeed reduce lift and escalator incidents. But according to recent reported incident statistic, over 90% of the total number of reported lift and escalator incidents were caused by passenger behaviors, for example, fingers putting too close to and trapped in the gap between lift door and door frame when traveling on a lift , and falling by loss of balance when walking on an escalator. This shows that passenger behaviors in using lifts and escalators are indeed worthy of our attention.
MC Tag : Therefore, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department has established relevant guidelines on safe use, maintenance and management of lifts and escalators for the responsible persons and users of lifts and escalators.
MC Tag : Now let’s explain on what safety devices do a lift have.
MC VO : A lift should have five basic safety devices to guarantee safety. These include suspension ropes with sufficient safety factor, door locking device, overspeed governor, safety gear, and buffer.
MC VO : A lift is generally suspended with two or more suspension ropes. The minimum breaking loads of these suspension ropes should be twelve times or above of the rated load of the lift. Hence, if one rope has failed, the others will still have sufficient capacity to suspend the lift for ensuring passenger safety. The car door locking device and landing door locking device of a lift ensure that both the car door and landing door must be closed and locked when a lift is traveling in order to prevent passengers falling in the lift well.
MC VO : Both the overspeed governor and safety gear are the safety devices to prevent a descending lift from overspeed. When a descending lift exceeds a specified speed, the overspeed governor will lock the governor rope and actuate the safety gear to stop the lift.
MC VO : After the overspeed governor has locked the governor rope, the safety gear will then be actuated to grip the guide rails firmly and stop the lift safely.
MC VO : The buffer acts as another safety protection. When a descending lift exceeds its limit of travel in a failure, the buffer can reduce the impact of the lift car.
MC VO : Hence, if these five safety devices are working properly, the lift is considered to be safe.
MC VO : Besides these basic safety devices, a lift also has a self-monitoring system which, on detecting a fault, will actuate the safety protection system to stop the lift, preventing occurrence of accident. On detecting a fault, some newer models of lift can further send the passengers to the designated floor under safe circumstance and open the lift doors to release them before suspending the lift service for repair.
MC Tag : Lifts are indeed safer and more reliable with these safety devices. However, it is most important to use the lifts properly in order to prevent accidents. Now let’s see what happened to the youngsters who didn’t follow the guidelines on safe use of lifts.
Scene 1
Female Youth A: (Panic) Wow, did the lift just plunge?
Male Youth: (Panic) Are you serious? I don’t want to die yet…
Female Youth B: Calm down. The lift has just stopped!
Female Youth A: Yes, the lift has stopped! Male Youth: (Panic) So what shall we do now?
Female Youth B: Let me call someone for help by the emergency alarm!
Property Management Officer: Hello, is everyone inside okay?
Youth B: We are all okay! Please help us out!
Property Management Officer: Calm down and don’t be scared. Someone will come save you guys soon. Remember, don’t move around. Don’t try to open the doors and don’t go near the doors, understood?
Female Youth B: Okay!
Property Management Officer: Fault call center, some people are trapped inside a lift. Location is On Sum Building. There are three passengers, and no one is injured. Please come as soon as possible. Thank you!
Scene 2
Worker: No worry guys, I am a registered lift worker. I will now open the lift doors to let you out. While opening the lift doors, the lift may have a little movement. That’s normal and don’t be scared.
Female Youth B: Okay. Thanks!
Worker Assistant: Fai, I’m going to the lift machine room to release the lift.
Worker: Okay!
Scene 3
Worker: Please come out...
Property Management Officer: Be careful...
Youth B: So lucky! We are finally out. Female Youth A: It must be you! You were dancing inside the lift and the lift stopped!
Property Management Officer: You guys should not have jumped inside the lift!
Female Youth A: But the lift was malfunctioned and it just plunged!
Worker: It wasn’t a lift plunge actually. It was rather due to your dance inside the lift which actuated the safety protection system to stop the lift abruptly and hence you all mistaken it as a lift plunge.
Female Youth B: But the floor indicator displayed that the lift traveled a few floors downward!
Worker: It’s because according to the design of the lift, the safety protection system was actuated and hence the lift stopped. When you stopped dancing, the safety devices resumed normal. After the self-monitoring system confirmed that the fault was cleared, the lift would automatically send you to the designated floor to release you. However, it stopped abruptly once again in the course of travel because someone tried to force the lift car doors open.
Male Youth: Oh! So it’s how it was. It really scared me to death!
Property Management Officer: So don’t dance inside a lift and don’t try to force the lift car doors open in the future! Got it?
All Youths: Ok!
MC Tag : The above-mentioned is one of the examples which causes passengers to mistake the situation as lift plunge and hence in a panic. So what are factors causing the misconception of lift plunge? Let’s have an expert to tell you now.
Wong Sir : Why would the safety protection system of a lift cause the misconception of lift plunge in passengers?
Wong Sir : There are self-monitoring systems in the lifts. When a situation which may potentially cause a fault, such as loosening of car door locking device due to a naughty child jumping inside the lift, is detected by the self-monitoring system, the safety protection system would be actuated automatically to stop the traveling lift to prevent accident.
Wong Sir : When a lift is traveling upward, the passengers’ inertia is upward as well. When the lift stops abruptly, the passengers would perceive as they were weightless, and hence a feeling of lift plunge.
Wong Sir : When the passengers stop jumping, the car door locking device would resume normal. After the self-monitoring system confirmed that the fault was cleared, the lift would automatically travel to the designated floor to release the passengers and subsequently suspend its service for repair. If the lift is traveling downward, the floor indicator would display concurrently from higher floor level to lower floor level, the whole course of which would lead to misperception of a lift plunge by the passengers.
Wong Sir : Besides, some lifts only stop on certain floors. Take a lift which only stops on G/F, 10/F, 14/F, and 18/F for example. While it is traveling from 10/F to 14/F, the floor indicator may instantly change its display from 10/F to 14/F, but the lift is in fact still near 10/F. If a fault occurs in the lift in the meanwhile, the lift would stop and the floor indicator would reset its display to 10/F. Together with the perception of plunge when the lift stops abruptly, the passengers may mistake the case as if the lift plunged for 4 floors from 14/F to 10/F.
Wong Sir : So don’t worry everyone. Lift plunge is in fact a misconception. The situation encountered by the passengers is just owing to the action of the safety devices of the lift. With various safety devices, a lift is indeed a very safe equipment.
MC VO : There are other factors that would also cause a lift to stop abruptly. For example, when someone attempts to force the lift landing doors open, causing a fault in the landing door lock signal, or even loosen the landing door lock, the lift would stop abruptly.
MC VO : Another factor is the weather. When the ambient temperature drops abruptly, the suspension ropes would elongate due to contraction. When the suspension ropes become too long, the suspension rope safety device would be actuated to stop the lift. Therefore, the maintenance workers would often check and adjust the lengths of the suspension ropes when the weather changes abruptly.
MC VO : Also, the lift would stop abruptly when there is a power failure or unstable power supply in the building.
MC Tag : There are several points for passengers and property management officers to pay attention to when there are passengers trapped inside a lift due to lift failure.
MC VO : If trapped in the lift, passengers should not be panic and should stay calm. Press the emergency alarm push button for help or use the intercom inside the lift to contact a property management officer of the building. Follow the instructions, and wait inside the lift for rescue.
MC VO : Since the lift may resume service in a sudden, passengers should not attempt to force the lift car doors open or open the emergency trap door to avoid more serious incident.
MC VO : The safety design, emergency lighting and communication devices as well as ventilation system of a lift can guarantee passengers’ safety.

保安員 : 這次真的謝謝你們！幸好你們及時趕來，沒有意外發生！
小高圖 : 叔叔，你僱用我當助手好嗎？
梁斯 : 你有興趣嗎？
小高圖 : 是的，我一直覺得升降機是一項很偉大的發明，所以我想確保它運作正常，避免意外發生！
梁斯 : 好吧，難得你有這抱負，等你將來完成學業後申請做電梯學徒，到時候我就僱用你做助手吧！
小高圖 : 到時記得僱用我！
梁斯 : 好的！
婆婆 : 謝謝，再見！
梁斯 : 現在我會暫停部升降機！
小高圖 : 我知道叔叔一定會守諾言，我長大後一定會回來當你助手！
場5：
黃婉曼 : 升降機及自動梯條例訂明，只有合資格人士，，或受合資格人士直接監督的人才可以親自進行升降機工程或自動梯工程。一般合資格人
士有兩種：分別是註冊工程師及受僱於註冊升降機或自動梯承辦商的註冊升降機或自動梯工程人員。註冊升降機及自動梯工程人員是分為三個級別；A級可進行安裝及拆卸工程、B級可進行保養工程、和C級可進行調試及檢驗工程。而工程人員可以註冊單一或多於一個的級別。
場6：
小高圖 : 我長大之後要像叔叔一樣，成為一個出色的註冊升降機及自動梯工程人員。
高圖 : 現在我已經是電梯學徒了。
高圖 : 師父，我已經工作了3個月，今天終於調來保養組了！
梁斯 : 好，你終於成為學徒了，我跟你講解公司的守則，過來！
高圖 : 是，師父！
梁斯 : 坐吧！
高圖 : 是，師父！
梁斯 : 公司又已經解釋清楚公司的內部守則、實務守則和其他有關的守則，例如勞工處和建造業議會升降機及自動梯的安全守則和指引，現在我
就和你重温條例的要求和內容。
梁斯 : 條例清楚說明工程人員：一，必須擁有合適級別的註冊身分和受僱於負責相關工程的註冊承辦商才可以親自進行該升降機或自動梯工程。
但是若果像你般還沒有註冊的，就要由一位擁有合適級別的註冊工程人員在場，才可以進行有關的升降機或自動梯工程。除此之外，註冊
工程人員須確保：A，該工程妥善和安全地進行，和B，採取充分的安全措施以防止該工程進行時任何人受傷或任何財物受損。三，如姓名
或通訊地址有所變更，須要於14日內，以表格LE48通知註冊主任。四，在進行升降機或自動梯工程時，須時刻攜帶有效的註冊證。最後就
是五，每五年為註冊續期。
高圖 : 師父，以上條例內容我已經清楚晒了。
梁斯 : 那麼你又是否清楚若違反條款，一經定罪，會有什麼罰則？你要成為註冊工程人員，必須要知道！
高圖 : 是，師父！
場7：
黃婉曼 : 任何註冊工程人員都要遵守條例入面的要求，若然違反條例有關註冊工程人員的規定，最高罰款是港幣1萬元。
另外，亦有機會就專業失當或疏忽行為，接受紀律審裁。紀律制裁包括吊銷註冊及罰款等。在清楚要遵守條例嘅內容之後，準備進行工
程之前，都要清楚實務守則內容的實務指引。
而實務守則的指引包括：必須遵守實務守則上的安全措施，例如二人工作的安排，以保障工程人員安全地進行有關的工程和得以相互照
應。
而註冊工程人員亦要熟習註冊承辦商或上級提供的指示、指引、施工說明、程序、和其他技術資料，例如製造商為該升降機或自動梯
制定的保養指引。這樣亦可以確保工程在妥善和安全的情況下進行。
參加僱主安排的訓練和簡介課程並妥善保存培訓紀錄。
進行任何升降機工程或自動梯工程之前，應該先了解工作內容，以確定自已是否能夠勝任和具備所需的資格去獨立進行有關的工作。除
此之外還要了解在工程中的職責，若果斷定自己或者在自已直接監督下的人員不適合或者無能力去進行有關工程的時候，就要立刻通知
上級。
場8：
梁斯 : 阿文，你臉色不好，是否不舒服？
阿文：沒什麼，少許頭暈，我撐得住！
梁斯 : 你不舒服就不要免強，你立刻停止工作，我通知公司找人代替你！
阿文：這個不太好，我可以的師兄！
梁斯 : 我不想你在工作期間出現意外，有健康的身體才有精神把工作做好！
阿文：也對，麻煩你了師兄！
場9：
黃婉曼 : 最後，在開工前一定要準備和檢查要用的工具和設施，如發現有異常的地方或情況，就要立刻向上級報告，和避免使用有關工具和設施
以免帶來不必要的事故或損傷。一切準備妥當之後，在進行任何升降機或自動梯工程的時候，需要注意以下的重要事項；
首先是要注意風險評估的結果和妥善實施安全措施。
其實風險評估是由一些對熟識工程安全和有經驗的人員為前線的工作人員找出工作相關的潛在風險，經過評估後，制定一些措施去消除
或者將有關的風險減至可以接受的水平。所以大家出外工作的時候一定要看清楚風險評估的結果和嚴格執行風險評估所提及的安全措施。
那就可以令工程在最安全的情況下進行。
除此之外，就是要顧及個人和在同一個施工地點的工作人員的安全。同埋嚴格遵守安全守則和任何專為升降機或自動梯制定的緊急程序。
那就可以確保工程是在妥善和安全的情況下進行。最後緊記要在工作日誌上如實填寫最新的工作及檢驗結果的詳程。
場10：
梁斯 : 現在清楚了條例和實務守則內容後，還有什麼問題？
高圖 : 沒問題，只要一切按照守則的指引去做就一定穩妥了。
梁斯 : 還有要記得若有任何疑問，也應該詢問我或者請示上司。
高圖 : 知道！
梁斯 : 那你準備一會兒跟我去檢查自動梯。
高圖 : 知道，師父！
梁斯 : 徒弟，檢查另一邊，和加點油！
高圖 : 知道，沒問題！
梁斯 : 那邊多加點油！喂？好的，我們立刻過來！隔壁安心大廈升降機故障，我們立刻過去！你去填工作日誌，我就收拾工具！
高圖 : 好的，師父！師父，讓我來吧！
梁斯 : 告訴你，我是擁有升降機和自動梯兩樣的ABC註冊級別，俗稱「全能牌」才有資格做兩樣工作。
梁斯 : 徒弟，填好了沒？
高圖 : 差不多！填好了，師父請簽名！
梁斯 : 現在是四點三十分，為什麼你填五點鐘做？
高圖 : 我看上一次也是填2小時，就照樣填一樣的！
梁斯 : 當然不可以，我們在任何情況之下，都要如實填寫工作日誌，你這樣已經觸犯法例了！
場11：
黃婉曼 : 在任何情況之下，註冊工程人員都必須如實填寫工作日誌，包括工作開始及完成的實際時間。根據條例第140條，任何交出虛假或具誤
導性的文件，充作遵從根據本條例對其施加的要求，即屬犯罪。一經定罪，最高可處罰款港幣20萬元及最長監禁12個月。
場12：
梁斯 : 你重新再填寫後就過去安心大廈！
高圖 : 是，師父！改好了師父！
梁斯 : 你現在過去安心大廈先取圍欄，記得你不能先開始，要等我到場，因為你不是註冊工程人員，不可以獨自工作的！
高圖 : 師父請放心，關乎自身和其他人的安全，我不會亂來的！
梁斯 : 醒目！
保安員 ： 師父，現在什麼情況？
梁斯 : 這裡還欠少許工作就可以了，我檢查過機器是正常的，我會先清整理場地和重開自動梯，因為隔壁大廈有突發事故，等我們處理好隔壁大
廈事故之後，會回來完成餘下工作。
保安員 ：好，等我簽名先！那你們盡快回來吧，謝謝！
場13：
梁斯 : 師父，在那邊！
保安員 ： 謝謝兩位師父，剛才升降機突然停止運作，幸好沒有人被困，不過現在又沒事了！
梁斯 : 好吧，現在我要檢查升降機！
保安員 ： 不可以，快到下班時間，停了升降機會做成不便，反正已經沒有事，下次再檢查吧！
梁斯 : 升降機可能有其他問題，還是進行檢查比較好，何況若有事故，負責人也要負責任！
保安員 ： 也對！那沒法子，你也有道理，那就拜託兩位了！
梁斯 : 徒弟，你先設置圍欄吧！
高圖 : 師父，剛才你很有威嚴！
梁斯 : 人命尤關，我們要堅守本份和原則去做，知道嗎？
高圖 : 知道！
梁斯 : 那還不去守你的本份！
高圖 : 知道，師父！
場14：
黃婉曼 : 如果升降機並非處於安全的操作狀態，註冊工程人員應即時向負責人建議暫停使用並進行維修，但如果繼續使用升降機而又唔會引致危
險，註冊工程人員可與負責人商議另外時間進行維修。
如果負責人不同意暫停使用有問題的升降機，工程人員應即時通知上司安排一名註冊工程師進行檢驗，以確定升降機是否處於安全操作
狀態，並在有需要的情況下通知機電工程署。
黃婉曼 : 註冊工程人員應向負責人清楚說明升降機嘅情況，在工作日誌上填寫相關的紀錄，和通知公司以保障個人權益。
場15：
梁斯 : 現在會進行升降機機廂頂工作，徒弟，還記得實務守則的內容嗎？
高圖 : 記得！第一，進行工作前先核實機廂頂上面個控制裝置操作正常。
二，每當升降機停止移動時就要按緊急掣。
三，一定要用機廂頂上面的控制裝置控制機廂，和採用檢查操作模式，將機廂上落速度調節到不超過每秒0.63米，即是俗稱「打慢車」；因為
在機廂正常速度時工作是十分危險。
四，盡量減少同一時間內在機廂頂逗留的人數，只派一名人員單獨控制機廂移動和停止，萬一有所誤會弄錯機廂移動或停止的狀態是非常
危險的。
五，還要確保所有人員都要知道機廂什麼時候移動和怎樣移動。
六，機廂頂必須保持清潔，沒有油污和結構穩妥，避免站立在機廂頂部緊急活板門上的門鎖和安全裝置。
七，工作後一定要清理乾淨機廂頂上的雜物，移走所有工具和設備。
梁斯 : 答得很好，但是實務守則還有其他工程和施工地點的實務指引，徒弟你應該熟讀及經常重溫。
高圖 : 我會的！
梁斯 : 那我們開始進行檢查，之後就上去機房。
高圖 : 知道！
場16：
梁斯 : 徒弟，你在做什麼？
高圖 : 我拿手機出來玩一下而已。
梁斯 : 玩手機？你知道機房也是屬於危險的地方嗎？一不小心也會發生意外，下次不要再讓我看到你工作期間玩手機！
高圖 : 師父，對不起，不會有下次了！
高圖 : 師父，鋼纜好像出現問題！
梁斯 : 對！鋼纜出現嚴重銹蝕痕跡，可能有斷裂的危險！
高圖 : 那應該怎麼辦？
梁斯 : 立刻停止部升降機運作，我現在通知公司，你快去聯絡管理處吧！
高圖 : 知道！
梁斯 : 公司是嗎，我發現有升降機的鋼纜出現問題….
高圖 : 師父，已經通知管理處了！
梁斯 : 好吧，我們檢查其他地方，記緊一陣險查完之後，一定要清理所有雜物，尤其易燃物品，以免造成意外！
高圖 : 知道！
場17：
黃婉曼 : 看過今輯故事內容，各位註冊工程人員一定對條例及實務守則內容有更深入的了解，大家在進行工程時，只要依照條例和實務守則裡面
的指示去做，那麼在工作的時候就會妥善又安心了。

自動梯的定期保養工程
字幕
====
升降機和自動梯已經成為我們生活不可劃缺的垂直運輸工具。
根據《升降機及自動梯條例》(第618章)，
這些設施的負責人和埋管理人員，
須要確保它們保持安全操作狀態
和有註冊升降機及自動梯承辦商
為這些設施做定期的保養。
至於自動梯的定期保養工作的內容，
負責人和管理人有什麼需要注意的地方呢，
看看梁斯師父和他徒弟高圖以下的例子。
兩位師父有什麼幫到你?
今日阿保放假呀?
是的 我是新來的管理員阿
你們今天來有什麼事
我是註冊自動梯承辦商的註冊工程人員，
我叫梁斯
這位是我的徒弟高圖。
合約規定，
我們要每兩星期為扶手電梯進行保養工程，
今天是來為扶手電梯做抹油的
原來是這樣!
我們填好工作日誌就開始工作!
有什麼需要幫你們的?
有的 因為進行扶手電梯的抹油工程，
所以要暫停扶手電梯，
麻煩你幫忙截人
好的!
已經填好工作日誌
那我們可以開始了!
根據《升降機及自動梯條例(第618章) 》自動梯的負責人
必須僱用冊自動梯承辦商，
每隔不超逾 1個月為自動梯進行最少一次的定期保養，
和安排註冊自動梯工程師
每隔不超逾 6個月為自動梯進行一次定期檢驗，
以確保自動梯和它所有相聯設備或機械
保持妥善維修狀況和安全操作狀態。
另外 就《一般規例》第17條的規定，
自動梯的負責人須備存
不少於最近3年的工作日誌記錄，
工作日誌須記錄由註冊自動梯承辦商、
註冊自動梯工程師及註冊自動梯工程人員
所進行的自動梯工作，
處理的事故 故障及檢驗的詳細資料。
註冊升降機工程人員或註冊自動梯工程人員
分為三個級別：
A級註冊工程人員在受僱於註冊承辦的情況下，
可親自進行安裝及拆卸工程
而B級註冊工程人員在受僱於註冊承辦的情況下，
可親自進行保養工程
至於C級註冊工程人員在受僱於註冊承辦的情況下，
就可親自進行檢驗工程
而承辦商要根據法例同合約要求
進行定期檢查 保養和維修工程.
承辦商亦會預計為自動梯定期保養的工時，
然後填寫落工作日誌。
而自動梯嘅定期保養一般稱為「抹油」，
工作包括檢查 清潔 潤滑和調校。
當工程人員到達時會填寫到達時間
工作內容及簽名，
而當完成保養工作後會填寫恢復操作時間，
這時管理員就需簽署作實。
自動梯工程人員要跟從註冊承辦商制定的
保養計劃書執行保養工作
一般保養計劃書是不單只編寫一年的保養事項，
而會包括某特定工作或裝置的保養頻率。
而每次保養工作的內容，
是由這四種基本元素會有不同形式的結合而組成。
而一般保養工作的內容，
就等梁師父兩師徒示範給大家看
我們可以開始了
請問近來扶手電梯有什麼不妥的地方?
你告訴我們
我們可以一次處理它
就是扶手有時突然會變慢咗
師父一陣幫忙檢查它
沒問題 我們做事以妥當註明
一定幫你修得像新的一樣。
專業點
我們會跟進的
因為我今天是我第一日返工，
我對扶手電梯的保養不太了解，
可以簡單講解一下嗎。
當然可以啦
阿圖 又到考試時間啦
知道
我們幫扶手電梯的一般保養檢查事項包括
扶手電梯相關嘅照明：
如出入口近踏板腳的腳燈必須有足夠及適當的照明，
以便乘客可以安全乘搭扶手電梯
如果光線不足 就要更換。
工程人員亦會檢查有冇貼出准用証同埋張証有冇過期 ，
同時檢查准用証有冇貼在當眼的位置，
例如貼在自動梯的出入口處位置。
另外 亦會檢查法例規定的安全告示同標誌 :
安全告示同標誌有冇貼在當眼的位置，
例如安全告示貼係扶手電梯的進出入口的壁板上，
以提示乘客小心使用扶手電梯。
而合規格防護檔板可防止乘客使用扶手電梯時
不會碰到障礙物或夾到，
所以需確保妥善安裝。
裙腳防護裝置即係毛刷條，
這個裝置在防止乘客出現夾腳意外，
所以保養時必須檢查固定螺絲要穩固及齊全、
而裝置的部份沒有鬆脫及凸出造成意外
梯頭梯尾防護檔板的功能係防止物體下墮意外，
所以保養時必須確定防護檔板
安裝妥當及穩固
除此之外，
保養時亦需注意梯梳 梯級 傍板之間的間隙，
例如檢查梯梳嘅螺絲是否穩固及齊全、
安裝尺寸是否合符標準
梯級與傍板之間隙會否過大，
而有機會出現夾脚意外
如發現有以上的情況 就需要調校。
和要檢查扶手帶運轉狀態和制動效率。
扶手帶運行必須暢順，
而扶手帶與梯級速度必須同步，
這就是我們的保養工作；
扶手電梯的剎車系統必須確認有效，
所以保養時必須進行定期測試；
但剎車系統的制動力亦不應太大或太少，
因為可能會出現乘客站立不穩
或人叠人的意外，
所以剎車系統的制動必須依照標準。
只是扶手電梯已經那麼多地方要保養了
以上只是扶手電梯外部結構而已
還有其他部份
那麼有分多少個部份
保養扶手電梯工作範圍
大致分為四個部份
分別是外部結構 梯頭機房、
內部結構和梯尾機房
說得對嗎 師父
算你平時有溫習
現在要先檢查梯頭機房
徒弟你先拆開機房面板
記住每一部份都要檢查清楚
那就逐步開始吧
首先是
電動機牙箱是提供動力去驅動自動梯的主要部份，
保養工作包括檢查運行時有否異响，
牙箱油是否足夠、
牙箱油有否變壞，
以及表面清潔
驅動鏈的作用係將電動機牙箱的動力帶動扶手電梯運行。
驅動鏈條張力過鬆會產生異响或導致故障，
或導致扶手電梯運行不穩定，
所以在驅動鏈條張力檢查時
必須依從標準去調較張力
驅動鏈安全裝置是監察驅動鏈條張力的安全裝置，
假若驅動鏈條張力過鬆或發生折斷，
這安全裝置會立刻啟動，
令到扶手電梯即時停止運作，
所以必須調校在合適尺寸
機房內有許多電器安全開關裝置，例如：
限速器安全開關裝置、
迫力與輔助迫力安全開關裝置、
電源相位保護裝置和過載保護裝置等。
保養時會按照計劃書的編排續一去進行檢查及保養，
以確保這些安全裝置運作正常.
主迫力裝置係扶手電梯極之重要的安全設備，
當發生事故要即時剎停扶手電梯就要靠佢，
所以裝置的機械活動部份必須清理、
適當活動位要注油、
檢查迫力皮厚度有否損蝕到更換情況，
最後當然要測試它的制動力
是否合符實務守則要求
輔助迫力裝置的功能係假若扶手電梯向上運行時
發生故障引致向下溜動，
輔助迫力裝置就即時啟動保護乘客
保養的念同之前的主迫力裝置相近；
限速器的作用係假若扶手電梯發生超速，
限速器就立刻啓動令扶手電梯立刻停下來，
保養的概念同迫力裝置相似，
機械和活動部份清理及注油潤滑，
若有任何更換零件或接點開關，
必須進行檢測工作，
以合符安全設定要求
機房內的清潔亦很重要，
因為扶手電梯在使用後，
垃圾及塵埃等骯髒物會經梯級面板帶到機房內，
所以機房地台上會有許多塵埃或垃圾，
每次保養嘅時候必須清理
新款的扶手電梯許多時已裝有
自動油泵以潤滑郁動的機件，
所以保養時必須檢查油缸的油是否充足，
及各出口的油喉位置正確及沒有倒塞
控掣板由如扶手電梯的控制電腦，
控制板內各接線同端子時
常有鬆脫或接觸不良引致故障，
所以必須定期檢查各線位接觸良好，
不會影響扶手電梯的運作。
而控掣板內各繼電器同保險絲亦必須定期檢查，
確定活動自如及檢查各接觸點的表面，
假若接觸面表面粗糙或損蝕嚴重
就必須進行清理或更換工作
控制板內電壓常有微量波動發生，
所以控制板內的電壓量是必須定期量度，
一般電壓包括有主電路，
控制電路 照明電路 指示器電路等；
在量度各電路時必須確認其量度值在安全範圍之內.
如發現有不正常的電壓 就應立即更進。
在扶手電梯內有不同位置的啤呤，
例如鏈輪內的啤呤，
如啤呤潤滑的油不足，
會發出响聲 或可能出現故障；
保養時會採用油槍
把雪油經啤呤接合咀注入啤呤內，
以收潤滑之效.
檢查完梯頭機房，
就輪到內部結構部份，
這個工作需要隔外留神!
我會的師父
這個部份我們需要保養
導軌提供軌道給梯級運行，
所以必需定期清理，
確保梯級運行暢順
傍板同梯級的間隙如果過大，
有可能會夾到乘客，
保養時需要調較間隙的闊度
扶手帶的張力不宜太緊或太鬆，
以免影響扶手帶的運行，
所以扶手帶的張力必需調校準確
而扶手帶驅動裝置係用嚟驅動扶手帶，
當中包括扶手帶驅動齒牙
和壓住扶手帶的橡膠壓轆，
保養時要調校壓轆的張力彈弓，
以確保扶手帶運行暢順
另外
重要檢查各安全裝置是否處於正常狀態，
包括
傍板安全裝置，
當有物件被夾到傍板與梯級之間的空隙時，
便會停止扶手電梯的運行
扶手帶入口安全裝置，
當有物件進入扶手帶入口時，
亦會停止扶手電梯的運行，
以免損壞機件
最後 就是梯級沉降安全裝置，
當裝置感應到梯級沉降時，
會停止扶手電梯的運行，
以免造成意外
還有 別忘記梳齒板開關裝置，
這個裝置是保護乘客，
當乘客的腳或物件碰到梳齒板，
有機會會令到梳齒板蹺起而會夾到乘客的腳。
所以當裝置感應到有梳齒板蹺起
便會停止扶手電梯的運行。
記得
動作快點
還有幫梯尾機房做保養就完成了
完成了
那就開始梯尾機房
好 要快點處理這邊
梯級大鏈的作用是拉動梯級
所以它的張力調較是很重要
接著就是梯級大鏈安全裝置，
這個裝置當感應到梯級大鏈的張力不正常時
便會制停扶手電梯
以免發生意外
而它要保養的工作包括調校裝置在合適位置
和測試功能是否正常
之後是為鏈輪啤呤注油
最後到清潔梯尾機房
現在所有部份都已經做過保養了
我們運作一次看還有沒有不妥善的地方
沒問題了師父
完全妥當
好
沒問題就可以去填寫簽走時間
之後就可以離開了
我們已經完成扶手電梯保養工程
麻煩你去檢查一次.
好的
檢查過沒問題了
那我們現在可以填寫工作日誌簽走時間就可以了
兩位師父辛苦了
不辛苦
確保扶手電梯的運作正常
是我們的責任.
謝謝 梁師父
如果再有發現不妥當的地方
就跟我們聯絡吧
好
看了梁師父和他徒弟保養扶手電梯的工作內容
扶手電梯的負責人或商場管理人員
都有職責注意扶手電梯的日常運作
扶手電梯運作時有否發出異常聲音；
扶手電梯的梯級、梳齒板
扶手帶有否損壞
扶手電梯的起動
停動及運行是否正常
乘客使用的緊急止動裝置是否有效；
如發現有乘客不正當地使用扶手電梯，
應立即阻止
就像搬運貨物
坐在梯級等等。
當有需要情況下，
提供合適的空間擺放扶手電梯的零件，
例如拆出來的大量梯級
或安全圍欄等。
希望各位睇完以上的短片，
會對扶手電梯的保養工作有更深入的認識，
從而對大家係日常管理扶手電梯方面有所幫助。
多謝各位收看

一般保養計劃書是不單只只是編寫一年的保養事項
而會包括某特定工作或裝置的保養頻率。
每次保養工作的內容
是由檢查、清潔、潤滑和調校
四種基本元素在不同形式的結合而組成
而一般保養工作的內容
就等梁師父兩師徒向大家示範
師父，安全措施已經準備好
阿圖，今天要為升降機進行保養
記得我教過你要做什麼嗎
當然記得
首先是檢查升降機槽底有否異常的地方
例如水浸、垃圾、鋼纜有沒有過長等等
檢查過一切正常之後
就輪到機廂內
包括
檢查求救鐘
機廂內樓層按鈕
樓層指示燈
有沒有貼上載重牌
火警標語
檢查准用證有沒有過期
地坎坑有沒有垃圾積聚
平樓層的精確度
剛才管理員都說平樓層有問題
我們要仔細檢查清楚
之後就上去機房
知道 師父
根據《建築物 (建造 )規例》(第123B章 )第 9A條規定，
機房門前必須張貼符合規定的警告告示。
此外，負責人應經常巡視升降機機房
留意有無異常情况
例如有紅粉在機房的地面或機件上
機器漏油至地上
或者滿佈放置雜物等
如發現這些情現
應立即向註冊升降機承辦商反映及跟進
而為免發生意外
如果負責人需要進入升降機機房作巡查時
最好有註冊升降機工程人員陪同下進入機房
五號機關機
五號機關機
知道
五號機關
梁師父
巡樓嗎
是的 你們負責保養
我就負責保安 輪到檢查機房
其實機房有什麼地方需要注意和保養
我知道
愛現 說來聽聽吧
我記得的
在上機房時先要檢查中途的路徑有否阻塞及是否安全
有需要時就要通知管處
另外 到達機房門口就要檢查門鎖有否破壞
自動門關裝置是否正常操作
那進入機房後呢
要記住 機房重地
要保養的地方有兩方面
第一方面是檢查基本設備是否齊全及正常
包括燈光照明系統
緊急照明裝置
通風設備
安全負載的吊重標語
緊急放人工具和指導書張貼
合適滅火筒和有否過期
提防觸電告示
對講機是否正常
第二方面就是升降機的保養工作
這部份我就記得了
保養工作包括要檢查
牽引機器是否運作正常
例如摩打 牙箱和纜轆
另外要檢查迫力器機械操作是否正常
要定期為各類啤呤同懸吊纜加油
檢查控掣板內各接線點是否穩固
以及各繼電器和保險絲是否接觸正常
量度控掣板內的電壓
除此之外
要定期清潔和潤滑限速器的機械活動部份
還有要檢查懸吊纜及保險纜索的狀態
和清理選層器
最後就是要定期檢查機房各類安全裝置
是否能保持正常效用和接點良好
不錯
果然沒辜負我對你的期望
當然 我立志要像師父一樣
做一個出色的專業升降機工程人員
為全港的市民服務
梁師父 果然名師出高徒
在確保升降機安全方面
升降機的負責人和管理人員
在日常升降機管理中有好多地方需要注意
在日常升降機管理中
負責人應注意下列事項
升降機機房門必須保持緊鎖
不可在機房內
機房的出入口處及安全通道
放置雜物妨礙通行
機房內須備有適合電氣火災使用的滅火器具
例如二氧化碳滅火筒
保持升降機機廂的清潔及衞生
日常清潔升降機機廂時
應使用較乾的潔具及無腐蝕性清潔劑
機廂內切勿有濕水情況
有需要搬運沉重物件而有可能導致升降機超載時
請與註冊升降機承辦商聯絡
代為考慮可行性
避免發生意外
升降機機房內和井道底不可以放置任何雜物及儲有漬水
並應保持清潔和衞生
樓宇如有損壞而影響升降機的運作
如漏水或石屎天花剝落
應即時安排樓宇維修
如有需要 請停止該升降機的運行.
此外 負責人應提供合適地方給予升降機工程人員
擺放當日保養時常用的安全設備 例如安備圍欄
聽到 請說
收到報告
2號升降機槽懷疑有物件跌落機廂頂發出響聲
麻煩通知承辦商跟進
好 知道 我去告訴梁師父
梁師父
聽到了 這裡都已經檢查完
我們現在去2號升降機
阿圖你先去2號升降機頂層設置安全措施
我巡查一次機房就過來
是 我立刻去
阿圖 這次給個機會你學習怎樣打開升降機門
記得看過周圍沒有其他人才打開門
為什麼 師父
這是避免其他人尤其是小童
有樣學樣走去開啓升降機門造成意外
要記得
只有我們工程人員才可以開升降機門
明白了 我會小心了
我們現在會開始檢查電梯井道.
梁師父 剛才的是什麼聲音
可能是油壺沒油了
要檢查過才知道
我們順道進行保養工作
井道保養要做什麼的
井道保養工作需要做的是
所有保護網
例如 井道側隔離網
井道壁的隔離網
保養時需要檢查所有固定碼及螺絲是否穩固
以防因保護網鬆脫
令到工程人員有機會因不小心碰到郁動的機件而受傷
平衡錘鉈是為用作平衡升降機的額定重量嚟減輕摩打的負載
正因為錘鉈會和升降機一樣會在升降機槽上落
檢查錘鉈頂的固定碼 螺絲 保護冚
彈弓及纜索接口是否穩固
以及鉈磚有否出現鬆脫現象
是必要的保養工作
慎防有組件從高處墮下
井道照明是提供足夠光線給工程人員在升降機槽內工作
如發覺有照明燈具損毀 應盡快修復
機廂頂清理
保養人員必須將油污
塵埃或垃圾等污物全部清潔及清理
因為這些油污會引致在機頂站立滑腳造成意外
而塵埃及垃圾可能引致機件活動不良及故障發生
機身同鉈的導靴 是確保升降機和鉈可以暢順地在路軌上落
所以要確保油盅的油是足夠可以潤滑導靴同路軌的接觸面
使其運作暢順
同樣 路軌方面
當然要注意佢嘅駁口位置是否順滑
同駁口板螺絲是否穩固
而固定路軌的支持碼
如果鬆脫會引致升降機運行不暢順或者出現故障
所以要定期檢查其支持碼固定螺絲或焊接位
懸吊纜索連繫住機廂同平衡錘鉈
纜索張力不平衡會影響它的牽引力
對纜索本身及纜轆槽的耐用性亦有影响
所以懸吊纜索張力平衡測試是非常重要的
若發現平衡不一致時
可調校纜索的張力彈弓
補償鏈連繫在機廂底和平衡錘鉈底
因機廂在升降機槽不同位置時
補償鏈可以減輕摩打的負載力。
保養時要注意它的固定螺絲及固定碼是否穩固
補償鏈最低的浪位點不應接觸到槽底
而機廂運行時 保償鏈亦應隨着機廂暢順運行.
平層裝置設是升降機槽內
主要功用在使到機廂準確地停係各樓層
所以電梯平層不準確
就要調校井道平層訊號刀的位置
所有安全開關
井道內有許多不同形式的安全開關
例如機頂緊急停止制
救生窗的安全開關制
井道頂端及終端撞制等等
都必須在保養時定期測試相關功能是否正常運作
隨行電纜
是提供機廂的照明及所有訊號的電源
隨行電纜的一端接駁到機房
而另一端接駁到機廂
所以保養時必須檢查在機廂的固定碼及其螺絲是否穩固
而機廂運行時
隨行電纜是否暢順運行
所有層站門同機廂門裝置
每一層站門都安裝有機械勾及電器聯鎖接點
要每一層站門係完全關貼上鎖
再加上機廂門亦完全關貼
電梯才可以開始運行
所以要確保每個聯鎖接點正常及合乎標準要求。
門嘅重開裝置包括保險門刀
電眼 機廂的開門扲掣等
保養人員必須檢查
調校及測試確保這些裝置能正常運作
以防關機廂門時夾到乘客
鬆纜制安裝是井底保險纜錘鉈的位置
它監察保險纜是否在合適的張力狀況下
以便在需要情況下發揮效用
例如電梯向下超速
它在限速器配合下可以拉動機底的安全鉗剎停機廂
所以檢查同測試鬆纜制亦係保養時必需的。
就之前所講
安全鉗會當電梯失速向下墮落時會啓動將機廂鎖定在導軌上
為確保安全鉗起動前斷離摩打電源
所以安裝安全鉗開關掣
保養時可以手動拉動保險纜測試其功能
另外 保養時亦要檢查同量度機廂同後鉈打樁位尺寸
機廂打樁尺寸意思是機廂位置在最低樓層時
機廂底的機械部份與井底緩衝器的距離尺寸
相反地機廂在最高樓層時
平衡錘鉈的底部與井底緩衝器的距離尺寸
確定該尺寸在安全範圍之內
載重檢出裝置是確保電梯不會在超載的情況下運作
當超載時電梯門不能關上
响起警號及有指示灯亮着
而保養時 工程人員會進行相關的功能測試
井底緩衝器是當機廂因機件問題而運行超過最低樓層時
用以減輕對機廂的衝力
保養時要檢查相關的固定碼或座螺絲是否穩固
如部件有否出現嚴重生鏽及損餂
否則必須安排修理或更換
當安裝兩部或以上的電梯而設計是共通式井道
這樣就要安裝井底隔離網
將每部電梯的槽底分隔從而保護在槽底工作中的工程人員
保養時必須檢查其固定碼及螺絲是否穩固
隔離網有否出現嚴重生鏽或損壞
安裝及幅蓋的位置是否正確等 .
以上項目都完成才算是完成井道保養工作
師父 剛才的聲音真的是油盅沒油了
那添回油就沒問題了
師父 那我去填工作日誌
我們工作還未完成的
升降機槽 機廂 機房 連井道都檢查過了
沒有遺漏
大頭蝦 就是欠檢查
主樓層有否貼出電梯機號
有沒有貼出承辦商名稱和緊急維修電話號碼
消防電梯標示同中英樓層服務牌
檢查消防掣功能是否正常
和各樓層及機廂的如遇火警警告標語
還說有溫習 怎可以遺漏的
我會記住了師父
升降機的負責人同大廈管理人員
在日常升降機運作如果發覺有異常地方
包括以下的情况
升降機門的開關是否平穩及有否發出異常聲音
機廂門的保險門刀是否操作正常
升降機的起動、停動及運行是否正常
乘客使用的緊急裝置如對話機、
警鐘 機廂抽氣扇
緊急照明燈及閉路電視系統等是否有效
升降機平層時
機廂地台與樓層地面的高低水平是否過大
可引致乘客容易絆倒 ?
各按鈕運作是否正常及有效 ?
如發覺升降機的運作有即時危險
管理員應即時停止升降機運作及設置圍欄
防止其他人使用及接近.
機廂內的電燈及樓層顯示
以及在各層站上的樓層顯示
及電氣裝置是否操作正常等等
梁師父 檢查完成了?
是的 我們嘗試過運行升降機
巳經沒有問題了
現在可以開放升降機給其他人使用了
而且平樓層已經維修好
調較至平衡了
那等我去檢查和確認一次
好 在管理處等吧
梁師父 我確認過沒問題了
辛苦兩位了 你們可以離開了
還未 還有一樣東西很重要
就是要簽寫工作日誌
証明我們今天保養工程完成的時間
而且要你簽名作實
好的
兩位師父辛苦了
如果升降機之後有什麼問題就隨時通知我們
好的 我先簽名作實
看過以上例子
升降機的負責人或代理管理人員
都應該對升降機的職責
和維修保養工程人員的工作有所了解.
而最要緊的是大家在進行維修和保養工程時
依足條例同實務守則裡面的指示去做
那工作的時候就會妥善又安心

Characters:
• Sing (Student)
• Mrs. Lau (Resident)
• Wan (Student)
• Tung (Registered Lift Engineer)
• Superman (Chairman of Owners’ Corporation)
• Mr. Ho (Property Management Officer)
Scene 1:
Mr. Ho: It’s been a while, isn’t it?
Mrs. Lau: That’s right, what’s taking him so long?
Superman: What’s matter, Mrs. Lau?
Mrs. Lau: I told Sing to pick up an umbrella at home, but it’s been over ten minutes.
Superman: Maybe he couldn’t find the umbrella?
Mrs. Lau: No way. I guess he’s just being naughty, and playing something else.
Superman: You told him to go by himself?
Mrs. Lau: Yes, he’s 8 years old already. He can handle it.
Sing: Help! Mommy.
Mrs. Lau: What’s going on? Sing… , are you there, Sing?
Sing: Mommy, I am scared.
Mrs. Lau: What’s happening? How could this happen?
Wan: We’re trapped in the lift.
Mr. Ho: Don’t be panic. Stay calm. I’ll call a mechanic for help.
Mrs. Lau: Be quick.
Mrs. Lau: Don't be afraid, son.
Superman: Sing. Mechanics are coming soon.
Sing: I feel scared mom.
Wan: It’s all your fault, jumping up and down, and playing the buttons. Now the lift is out of order. What should we do now?
Sing: I have no idea.
Mrs. Lau: What should we do, Chairman?
Superman: Don't worry.
Tung: Is there anyone trapped inside lift?
Mrs. Lau: Yes. Please bring my son out.
Tung: Stay calm. How many people are trapped inside?
Mr. Ho: Two kids.
Tung: Okay.
Sing: Mom, I won’t play in the lift again.
Wan: Don’t panic, just sit tight. Someone will get us out of here soon.
Tung: Come on, kid.
Mrs. Lau: Are you okay, son? You scared me.
Superman: It’s all over. Thanks.
Mrs. Lau: Thanks.
Tung: You’re welcome. But the lift of your building is really old. Thirty years something, maybe?
Superman: Yes I think so. I am the first-hand owner of the flat. And the lift was just installed when I moved in. It was the latest model in that moment.
Mr. Ho: Chairman, that’s the latest model in thirty years ago. Changing with each new day, the new lifts are very different now.
Mrs. Lau: We use the lift every day, surely there must be wear and tear even though there is no broken part.
Superman: We do carry out the periodic maintenance and repair. If we to replace the lift, that would be very expensive.
Mrs. Lau: Chairman, safety comes first.
Tung: Actually, there are many enhancement solutions for the aged lifts. You could find a registered lift contractor to check the lift thoroughly, to see if there’s any part required to be replaced or modernized. And so, the lift would become safer, more reliable and comfortable.
Superman: That’s a good idea. Our owners’ corporation will has a meeting tonight, let’s include it into the agenda.
Mrs. Lau: I’m all for it.
Scene 2:
Superman: Fellow residents, I believe you’re all aware of a lift trapping was happened today. We’ve been lucky, the two boys only got startled, luckily no one’s hurt. But we must be vigilant, we should evaluate our lift’s safety based on this incident.
Mrs. Lau: My suggestion is, the lift of our building is so old, let’s replace with a new one.
Resident A: A lift replacement? That is costly. We can’t afford it.
Mrs. Lau: If we don’t, what if there’s another accident?
Resident B: Or could we change the spare parts only, to make the lift safer?
Resident A: Sounds easy, but who knows which spare parts should be changed?
Superman: Fellow residents, I have an idea. We’ve been using our lift for over three decades. It is quite old indeed. How about we first invite our registered lift contractor to conduct a thorough check on it, and then make a decision later.
Scene 3:
Tung: Tsuen, could you check the circuit board and intercom? Thanks
Tung: Hey kid. You’ve been looking for a while. Are you interested in lifts?
Wan: Yes.
Tung: Aren’t you afraid? You were trapped inside once.
Wan: Yes I am. But that’s exactly why I’m interested in its structure and what is considered as a safe lift.
Tung: That’s interesting. Let me tell you the safety devices of a lift.
Wan: Great.
Tung: A lift must have these five basic safety devices to be considered as safe. These include: suspension ropes with sufficient safety factors, door locking device, overspeed governor, car safety gear, and the buffer.
Tung: A lift is usually hoisted with two or more suspension ropes. The ropes’ total load capacity should be twelve times or above of the lift’s total rated load. If one rope has failed, the other can still sustain the lift to ensure the passenger safety.
Tung: The overspeed governor and the safety gear are the safety devices for the lift car when descending in an exceeding predetermined speed. In the case of overspeeding, the overspeed governor would lock the governor rope, activate the safety gear, and brake the lift. After the overspeed governor locks the governor rope, the safety gear is activated and grip the guide rails firmly and brake the lift car safely.
Tung: The buffer acts an additional safety protection. In the case of a lift failure, the buffer could reduce the crash impact of the lift car when it exceeds its travel.
Tung: As a result, if these 5 safety devices are working properly, the lift is said to be safe.
Wan: Tung, is our lift considered as safe?
Tung: Your lift is very old.
Superman: That means it’s not safe?
Tung: Well, not exactly. With suitable enhancement works, your lift could be safe and reliable and could run in a prolonged life.
Mr. Ho: What enhancement works could be done?
Superman: Let’s go into this way, Tung. The building works committee of our Owners’ Corporation will meet tomorrow and discuss the safety issues of the lift. Would you have time to brief us on the lift modernization?
Tung: Sure.
Scene 4:
Superman: Fellow members. There’s a lift incident in our building earlier. I think it’s time to modernize our lift which has been in service for over thirty years. Today, we cordially invite Tung, a registered engineer, to brief us on lift modernization. Over to you, Tung.
Tung: Thank you, Chairman. We all know lifts are machines, there is unavoidable wear and tear with everyday use. Your lift has been in service for over thirty years, you can’t compete with today’s technology standard of the current models. But, your lift is still in good condition. It can be safer and more reliable, with suitable enhancement works.
Tung: In general, there’re seven solutions you could add or modernize for the aged lifts. First, install a double brake system. The aged lift might have only one set of brake. In case of a failure, the brake could be malfunctioned. The advantage of a double brake system /is that it has two sets of brake parts. Should one set fails, the other could ensure the safe operation of the lift. A modern double brake system has two sets of independent braking devices, each of which is normally electrical monitored.
Tung: Second, install the unintended car movement protection device. Unintended movement of the lift car could lead to injury when the lifts doors are opened and passengers are about to enter or exit. To prevent such accidents, you could install the built-in redundancy and self-monitoring device, for example, rope gripper, etc, to enhance the braking system, and to prevent unintended movement when the lift car is not stopped in a correct position.
Tung: Third, install an ascending car overspeed protection device. The lift might ascend over speed to the hoistway due to any malfunction and cause an accident. The ascending car overspeed protection device could automatically detect these abnormal movements, bring the lift car to a stop and prevent such accident.
Tung: Fourth, install a car door mechanical lock and door safety edge. Installing a car mechanical lock could prevent passengers from forced opening the doors. The doors of aged lift could hit the passengers when entering or exiting. By installing the modern door safety edge, the lift doors would automatically re-open when the doors close on the passengers to prevent similar injuries.
Tung: Fifth, install an intercom and a CCTV system. When passengers are trapped inside lift, they could communicate directly with management office personnel. In the meanwhile, the management office could notify the lift contractor and Fire Services Department immediately. Some advance intercom systems allow passengers to directly contact a 24-hour service centre of the registered contractor for immediate rescue.
Tung: The CCTV system comprises a camera, an alarm button, and a buzzer inside the lift car, and connects to the building’s management office. Prompt actions could be taken in times of accident.
Tung: Sixth, install an obstruction switch to protect the suspension ropes. Excessive wear of suspension ropes is one of the major causes of rope breakage. When the movement of the lift car or counterweight is obstructed, and the motor is still in operation, it could cause excessive wear on the suspension ropes and sheaves. Installing an obstruction switch could prevent against this excessive damage during breakdown.
Tung: Seventh, adding the automatic rescue device. In case of a power failure, the automatic rescue device could maintain the lift in momentary operation and enable the trapped passengers to leave the lift car safely.
Tung: Among these seven enhancement solutions, I’d suggest you to put the first four to your priority, and you could consider the last three based on your actual needs. This is the end of my briefing. Chairman.
Superman: As the lift owners of the building, we’re responsible for arranging a registered lift contractor to conduct periodic maintenance and repair of the lift. We must hire a registered lift contractor to carry out any alteration or modernization works. We must arrange a registered lift engineer to conduct a thorough examination and testing on the lift after the completion of works to ensure safety.
Superman: After hearing Tung’s briefing, we must give some thoughts on how to carry out the lift modernization works.
Tung: May I remind you again here, in order to use the lifts properly, not only to ensure the hardware is up to standard, but also have a right attitude of lift usage. Take this incident as example, I know a kid was jumping and playing with the buttons which led to the incident. Please remember, to ensure the safe use of lifts, and a safe devices and proper usage are equally important.
Scene 5:
(Three months later)
Mrs. Lau: That's great.
Mrs. Lau: Chairman. Uncle Tak.
Superman: Mrs. Lau.
Mrs. Lau: The lift feels like running smoother after the modernization works, and more safe too.
Superman: Great.
Tung: Hello, everyone.
Mrs. Lau: Tung. We’ve just completed the lift modernization, does it require examination so soon?
Tung: Not yet. I just pass here and drop off the booklets Guidelines of Safe Use of Lifts and Escalators for your reference.
Sing: Safe Use of Lifts? I know that already.
Wan: Do you? Have you forgotten that you were trapped because you’re pressing the buttons mischievously?
Mrs. Lau: Study it carefully.
Tung: Children should be accompanied by adults when using the lift.
Tung: Don’t panic when being trapped. Never try to open the lift doors by yourself.
Tung: Keep calm, and press the alarm button immediately and wait for rescue.
Tung: Don’t use the lift in case of a fire.
Tung: Never kick, or use your hands, or with the cart and other goods to crash the lift doors at any time.
Tung: Never try to force open the lift doors at any time.
Tung: Stay clear of the lift doors or the door frame area, to prevent your fingers or other body parts from getting caught.
Tung: Don’t place your hands on the lift doors, to avoid your fingers getting caught when the doors open or close.
Tung: Don’t try to cram into a lift that is exceeding its capacity, or one that has sounded the overload signal.
Tung: Don’t interfere the lift operations by blocking the doors open with any equipment for your own convenience.
Tung: Don’t force open the emergency exit on top of the lift car.
Tung: Don’t climb onto the handrails, jump or play inside the lift.
Tung: Don’t affix stickers, don’t do graffiti, damage the lift, or the CCTV lens.
Tung: Don’t press the buttons mischievously.
Tung: Only use your finger to press the buttons, and not with other objects to avoid damages.
Tung: While on escalators, hold onto the handrail tightly, stand firm within the yellow line. Don’t stand on the yellow line.
Tung: Lift your foot as you step on or off the escalator. Stand firm once you’ve stepped on the escalator and not to lose balance.
Tung: Children must be accompanied by adults on escalators.
Tung: Assist the elderly and those in need. Seniors with mobility problems are advised to use the lifts.
Tung: Keep your feet away from the gaps between the steps and those between the skirting panel and the steps. Keep clear of the brush guard.
Tung: When wearing open toes footwear such as slippers or sandals, be careful of the gaps between the steps and the skirting panel. Pay attention to the gaps when wearing long dresses.
Tung: Lift the umbrella up when carrying one. Don’t place the tip of the umbrella into the slots or in between the steps.
Tung: Don’t ride the escalator with carts, bicycles and other bulky objects. Avoid bringing strollers, fold them up when you’re riding the escalator, and hold the baby in your arm.
Tung: Never press the emergency stop button unless there’s an emergency.
Tung: Don’t run on or play around the escalator.
Tung: Don’t sit on the escalator,
Tung: Don’t go in the opposite direction as the escalator.
Tung: Don’t extend any part of the body out of the escalator. Don’t climb on the handrail.
Tung: Don’t go beyond or vandalise the obstruction guards.
Tung: Stand still, don’t run around.
Sing: Got it. I’ll remember the guidelines by heart. I won’t make the mistake again.
Mrs. Lau: Good to know.
Mr. Ho: I’ll place these booklets in the common area, so that everyone could have a browse.
Superman: Excellent. While the contractor helps us with the proper maintenance, and we follow the safety guidelines, then we could ensure the safety of riding lifts or the escalators.

The New Lifts and Escalators Ordinance
Script
Scene 1:
Mr. Chairman :Morning, Chun
Chun: Morning, Mr. Chairman. Have you had breakfast?
Mr. Chairman : Yes.
Mr. Chairman : Something's wrong with the lift?
Chun: No, it's under periodic maintenance.
Chun: Have you forgotten? It's mentioned in the Owners' Corporation Meeting last week.
Mr. Chairman : Oh that's right, I have forgotten.
May: Why is the lift out of service? I am so tired to get down the stairs.
Chun: Sorry, May. The lift needs periodic maintenance. The notice was posted last week, haven’t you
read it?
May: There're so many notices every day, I have no time to read. Periodic maintenance? Have
conducted last month? Such a hassle.
Mr. Chairman: May, this isn't a hassle . The periodic maintenance is to ensure our safety.
Chun : That's right, under the ordinance. We shall require the registered lift contractor to maintenance the
lift at least once a month, and to have an annual examination done by a registered lift engineer
thoroughly.
May: These are your responsibilities. Don't bother us the homeowners.
Mr. Chairman : That’s not exactly right…
Mr. Cheung: Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Chairman: Mr. Cheung.
Mr. Chairman: Is the lift in safe working condition?
Mr. Cheung: We've checked, it's fine. After the inspection by our workers, the lift can be resumed for
operation.
May: You better make sure it's safe. We hire your company to do the examination to ensure the lift's
safety.Mr. Cheung: Lady, please don't worry. Our company and the engineer in charge of the annual
examination are qualified registered lift contractor and registered lift engineer approved by the EMSD,
and our workmen are qualified lift workers.
May: I am not care. I' ll hold you responsible in case of accidents.
Manager Lau : Hello, May. No one wants accident happened. But in case there is one, the registered lift
contractor is responsible, so as our property management company, as well as homeowners like
yourself.
May: It's also the responsibility of homeowners ?
Manager Lau : Yes, property owners are the lift owners.The Owners' Corporations are responsible to
ensure the building public facilities are in good condition. Our management company is appointed by the
Owners' Corporation to manage the public facilities of the building. According to the newly enacted
Lifts and Escalators Ordinance (Chapter 618), homeowners, Owners' Corporation and the property
management company are all“Responsible Persons” of the lift. We have the responsibility to ensure
our lifts are in safe working order and in proper state of repair and maintenance.
Mr. Cheung: That’s right, we must work together to ensure the safety of the lift.
May: Is it really the case?
Mr. Chairman: Manager Lau, regarding the new Lifts and Escalators Ordinance, what does it cover? And
what is different between this Ordinance and the current Lifts and Escalators (Safety) Ordinance (Chapter
327)?
Mr Cheung: The Ordinance clearly stipulates how to regulate the safe use and operations of lifts and
escalators.
Manager Lau : Maybe we organise a seminar, invite the building's homeowners, and explain to them in
details?
Mr Chairman: Sure, we can also invite the lift contractor and the representative of EMSD to join us.
May: It's okay, to make sure you have not fooled me.
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿Scene 2:
Manager Lau : Welcome all homeowners to attend our Seminar on the new Lifts and Escalators
Ordinance. I'm the manager of management office. Other than such a good turnout by
homeowners, we're pleased to have the boss of our lift contractor, Mr. Cheung, lift engineer,
John, and Mr. David Au, the engineer of EMSD, to attend this seminar.
Manager Lau : The new Lifts and Escalators Ordinance is coming into operation, we're all “Responsible
Persons” of the lift. I hope you'll all look into the content of the Ordinance to effectively ensure
the safety of the lift. David.
David: Hello all, the Lifts and Escalators Ordinance ensures the safety of lifts and escalators from
different aspects. First, the models and safety components of all newly installed lifts and
escalators must be approved by EMSD. All lifts and escalator works including installation,
commissioning, examination, maintenance, repair, alteration or demolition etc. must be carried
out by registered lift and escalator contractors.
May: We're aware of that.
David: Further, the registered contractors must notify EMSD regarding their undertaken and
subcontracted lift and escalator works before commencement of the works. Also, after the
completion of installation or alteration works, or once a year for lifts and once in six months for
escalators, RPs must arrange registered lift and escalator engineers to conduct periodic
examination thoroughly. They can only be operated after a signed safety certificate is issued.
Mr Chairman: That is very reasonable.
Manager Lau: Yes. We just want to safeguard everyone's safety by doing so. But be rest assured, the lift
contractor and lift engineer we've hired are all registered and qualified under the Ordinance.
Mr Cheung: Other than the registrations, as the lifts and escalators contractors, we will comply with the
Code of Practice on the Design and Construction of Lifts and Escalators and the Code of Practice
on Lift Works and Escalator Works issued by EMSD to carry out design and works. And the
Ordinance has strengthened the registration regime.
Scene 2A:
Location: (Registered Lift Contractor’s Office)
Mr Cheung: Fellow colleagues, the new Lift and Escalators Ordinance has clearly set out the statutory
requirements for registered lift and escalator contractors, and has upgraded the qualification
requirements for registered lift and escalator engineers. All registered personnel must renew their
registration every 5 years. Let's go to the conference room and I’ll explain it in details.
Mr Cheung: The new Ordinance introduces the registration system for lift workers. Workers without
registration are not allowed to carry out lift and escalator works without the supervision of
qualified personnel. You must hurry up to register. Shing and Ming : Got it.
Mr Cheung: Also you and registered engineer, John, must carry your registration cards
during the works for verification by the building's or EMSD's representatives. To ensure the lift's
emergency device such as the lift's alarm system, intercom, emergency lighting system, or the
ventilation fan etc. could function normally. The new Ordinance demands registered contractors
to attend to the emergency within four hours after notification of the failure. If the emergency
device can't be rectified, we must notify EMSD of the failure within 24 hours after we're aware of
the failure, you must be prepared.
Shing and Ming: Got it.
Scene 2B:
Mr Cheung: I think it benefits all with the registration regime of workers. Recognising the workers'
technical competence as well as exerting better control on workmanship.
David: That's right, and a new use permit is introduced in the new Ordinance. The new use permit clearly
displays the expiry date of the permission to use the lift or escalator. Existing lift or escalator
certificates are still effective under the new Ordinance, until the next due date of periodic
examination.
Manager Lau: After receiving the use permit issued by EMSD, we' ll post it in a conspicuous place in the
lift.
Scene 2C:
Location: Lobby of the building
Scene 2D:
David: To enhance public monitoring, the new Ordinance stipulates if there is a specified incident
relating to a lift or escalator leading to long service suspension, the registered contractor shall display a
notice within four hours after becomes aware of the incident, specifying the reason for the suspension
of this lift or escalator.
Mr Cheung: Because it is a statutory requirement, I hope the management office won't stop us from
posting the notice.
Manager Lau: Absolutely not, it's for the best, or May would ask me what's going on every time.
May: I'm simply concerned for everyone's safety.
Scene 2E:
Scene 2F:
David: And RPs must keep the log-books covering the last three years' records at least. Registered
contractors and registered engineers must enter information on the log-books and keep relevant
records.
Manager Lau: In order to comply with the mentioned requirements our staff at the management office
will ensure the registered lift engineer and registered lift workers will document all information
in the log-book, regarding all lift works, incidents, failures and detailed records of previous
examinations. Our colleagues will also sign in the log-book as confirmation and supervision. If
the main contractor wants to subcontract any maintenance work to other registered lift and
escalators contractors, in other words, the works will be carried out by the subcontractors. The
main contractor must list clearly the names of the subcontractors in the log-book.
John: That's right, to have a thorough picture of previous works, our engineers and workmen have to sign
the log-book. works will be documented and signed in the log-book, after completion of each assignment.
Because EMSD will request us to provide the log-book for their inspection if it is deemed necessary.
Scene 2G:
Scene 2J:
May: With this monitoring framework, no one would be slacking off.
Mr Cheung: That's for sure, we don't want to breach the law.
May: Breach the law?
John: If we fail to fulfill the duties as the RPs that leads to an incident, or obstruct any orders from
EMSD, the use and operation of the lift will be prohibited, and it's also a breach of law.
Mr Cheung: That's why in the occurrences of any serious lift incidents, involving deaths or injuries, a
failure occurs of the main drive system, a breakage of suspension ropes, a failed overload device
etc. Pursuant to the new Ordinance, the RPs must notify EMSD and related registered lift
contractor in writing within 24 hours as they're made aware of the incident. David: The new Ordinance empowers EMSD to issue a series of orders such as prohibition order,
cessation order, examination order, removal order and improvement order, requesting the RPs to
properly manage lift works.Offenders may be liable for a fine and imprisonment upon conviction,
if failing to comply to these orders or any requirement under this Ordinance. The maximum fine
is $200,000 and 12 months imprisonment.
May: A fine and imprisonment?
David: No need to panic. The Ordinance was enacted to safeguard everyone's safety, no one would be
prosecuted with their full compliance. It ensures all users to have safe rides and easy access.
All: You've a point.
David: Yes, the Ordinance we’ve discussed today, not just applies to the lifts and escalators in private
properties, but also to lifts and escalators in government buildings and public housing estates.
Scene 3:
May: What are you reading? Something interesting?
Manager Lau: Excellent timing, May. We've just received the Guidebook for Responsible Persons for
Lifts sent from EMSD. Just checking if we're in compliance with the Lifts and Escalators
Ordinance, to ensure our lifts to be in safe working order.
Mr Chairman: May, this way we can live in peace and be at ease.
Manager Lau: Absolutely.Introduction of Lifts and Escalators OrdinanceDownload script

#1 Path for Development - A Day of an Engineer: Contacting New Technologies
Dear all
My name is Avis
Since 2013
I have become a lift and escalator worker
In the beginning
I thought that I would become a professional technician
Because it was really professional
People can get a certificate after registering with the Electromechanical Administration.
Then, they can carry out the lift and escalator works
Therefore, after graduating from middle school
I decided to develop in this industry
When I joined this industry
I had to learn relevant professional knowledge in class
Moreover, the company would dispatch us to different sites for practice
It was wonderful learning experience for me
Most interesting?
The most interesting thing is as follows:
I can understand the new technologies about the lift and escalator immediately.
For example, how to understand the running state of the lift and escalator
Without going to the site
I can understand any conditions in advance.
And thus much time can be saved for maintenance.
The lift can work upward, downward and slantly.
It will work toward front, back, left and right in the future,
But it is not necessary to drive the lift with a suspension rope.
Why do you choose this job?
Because I am interested in the electromechanical devices
And thus, I choose it
What a man can do
A girl can also do it
She can also act as master.
In the beginning, I just wanted to master a professional skill
And look for a job with stable income and
Promotion opportunity.
However, I was contented after work for a while.
My work is challengeable every day,
I have to learn and improve my skills to maintain the lift and escalator
We are satisfied by
The lifts and escalators maintained by us
They provide passengers with safe, reliable and comfortable services
When seeing their normal work and
Passengers’ safety,
We are satisfied.
On the contrary, if customers offer any suggestions
It shows that they pay attention to us
And offer us opportunities for doing better.
My colleagues are nice
We will encourage each other
Toward our goal
I like to work with them
And grow
Toward the path of profession
I cannot guarantee that all lifts and escalators will work normally
But I am confident that I can repair them immediately
I am glad to join this industry
I hope to join you
For working together.
“Professional Spirit and Make a Difference” is our belief
We will provide safe, reliable and comfortable high quality services for citizens in Hong Kong.

#2 Path for Development - Job Nature
This type of lift was designed in the US in the 1960s.
In Hong Kong, it was the oldest lift
Its most prominent feature is that
During operation, its rotary-type floor indicator of the outer door
Will rotate with the lift
Another type of lift was designed in Japan
In about 2010
Its feature is double-layer design, and thus it can deliver the passengers to the higher floor quickly
Some like the bus, others like the airplane
And I like the lift
But I don’t know the exact moment when I liked it
My mother said that when I was 2 or 3 years old
Whenever the sightseeing lift went up and down
I would be attracted by it.
I think that the lift is lively
It is different from the car
The car needs to be operated and controlled
For new lift
After it is scanned with a card
It will work as if it has a brain
It will dispatch the closest lift to you
For delivering you to the floor that you will go
The lift system is smart
Rather than a piece of cold metal
The modern lift technologies develop continuously
But passengers’ safety first is unchanged
When we take a lift before
It will slightly vibrate before stop when reaching the destination floor
It has been improved to slow acceleration or deceleration
Another considerate design
Is that all buttons of some lifts are outside the lifts
There are buttons for opening and closing the door in the lift only
The passenger shall choose the floor before taking the lift
It is not necessary to press the button when there are too many people in the lift
How advanced it is
There will be lift systems in the future
They can call the lift to your floor via telephone APPS
For delivering you to the destination floor
After people enter the lift, it will work automatically
Indeed, it is a very considerate design
Join in this industry? Of course
I have worked in a registered lift company as engineer
My work mainly includes installation, maintenance
Commissioning and test
In fact, the lift is closely related to our life
The lift technologies will be continuously innovated and improved
To meet the passengers’ requirements
Therefore, more talents will be needed for preparing for the future
Only if the maintenance is well done
The lift will seldom have faults
People can take it without worry
My name is Edward
I am a lift expert
I hope that you can
Join the lift and escalator industry like me
With the professional spirit and
attitude of Make a Difference
Serve citizens in Hong Kong

男Ａ：喂，係，阿SIR，沒問題，我們即刻出發。兄弟們，有任務，現在即刻出發。
男Ｂ＆Ｃ：收到，大哥。
男Ｂ: Site clear
男Ｃ：Site clear
男Ａ：Roger，準備開槍
行人Ａ：哇！發生甚麼事，是不是有槍戰？
男Ａ：不是的，我們只是進行電力工程。用槍射穿了電纜。
行人Ａ：電力工程也要用槍的嗎？
男Ａ：看你這麼有興趣，上來我們的工場看看吧。
行人Ａ：好呀！
男Ａ：介紹一位師兄給你認識，讓他詳細講解一下。
男Ｂ：為甚麼要用戳穿槍？因為地底有很多不同的電纜。雖然我們事前已經進行了很多不同專業的電纜辨認工作，出錯的情況已然是微乎其微。就算我們不小心打錯了帶電的電纜，都可以確保電力工程人員百份百安全，所以我們會用戳穿槍！
行人Ａ：阿SIR，為甚麼戴著太陽眼鏡？今天很曬嗎？
男Ｂ：關你啥事！
男Ａ＆Ｂ＆Ｃ：一齊加入電力行業吧！Mini Movie Competition - On Job Training Group - 1st Runner-up - 陀槍工程Producer: Hong Kong Electric Company Limited<br />[MP4 format (56.5MB)] <br />(Only Cantonese dialogue, Traditional Chinese subtitles provided) Download script

聰：你好，我叫聰，是一名冷氣技術人員。早上的時候，做例行保養。晚上的時候，做急救維修。有一樣東西，我比其他人強的就是我很勤奮。但是我和其他人一樣都是會犯錯的。我發現很多人都誤解了冷氣的行業，以為只是拆塵網、拆塵網同洗塵網，當然不只這些。冷氣這行業的正式名稱叫空氣調節，除了大家熟悉既空調制冷之外，我們還會調節鮮風，風櫃出風，抽氣量，同時利用加濕器，發熱線來控制室內溫度，濕度，二氣化碳濃度，和氣壓等等。我們和醫生也挺相似
男Ａ：好暈呀
男Ｂ：等陣先啦，下一個到你。
聰：他們就醫人。
男Ｃ：好熱呀，師傅。可以了嗎？
聰：就可以了，正在弄。
聰：我就回憶起。鋼批，槌仔。

女：HI
男Ａ＆Ｂ：HI
女：這兩天我分別跟你們出過街，食過飯，是否很開心呢？但我一點也不高興，你們令我很失望。
男Ａ：是否我做錯了什麼？我已經很完美了吧。
女：但你連電燈膽也不會換。
男Ａ：等等要一起食午飯嗎？不用怕，等我來。
女：之後還要我送你進醫院呢！
男Ｂ：哈哈。
女：閉嘴，你也不是好很多。你不是說自己運動健將，人家跟你踏單車，單車壞了你也不會修理。
男Ｂ：可以了。
女：可以了？
男Ｂ：等下有的士來接你。之後你就幫我把單車送回單車鋪吧。
女：什麼？
男Ｂ：我住樓上的。你回去之後打給我吧。再見。
女：的士錢也要我付，發生什麼事啊？
男Ｂ：但我真的是住樓上啊。
女：Shut Up! 我還沒講完，還有冷氣，水喉，直升機，升降機，冷氣機，洗衣機，吳若希什麼都不會修。男人真的信不過啊！
男Ａ＆Ｂ：我可以改的。
女：我比較喜歡一些強壯又可靠的男人
男Ｃ：在說你啊，都說了不要偷聽。
男Ｄ：是誰先偷聽的呀？不過，連燈炮也不會換也真是弱了點。
男Ｃ：對了，說了又說。今天幫了李生修理好電燈了。
男Ｃ：李生，那些燈已經完成了。今晚你和李太吃飯時，應該看到對面的燈飾了。
李生：哈哈，那麼多的大廈你也完成，挺厲害的。
男Ｄ：我昨天也幫了藤原先生修理好車。
男Ｃ：這陣子真的很忙。
男Ｄ：看著你啊。
男Ｃ：看著你啊。
男Ｄ：就時間上班了，走吧。
男Ｃ：是啊，那走吧。

旁白：有人說，我們屋村有位神秘人幫忙修電器。我過往都不相信，當時我還在考慮是否加人機電行業。
這個就是我的爸爸，他是工程師。每晚也很夜才回來，回到家仍在房中工作到深夜，我真的很佩服他。當時的我仍不知道自己可否像爸爸一樣，對機電充滿熱誠。
說起神秘人，人們說把壞掉的電器放在大樓下。神秘人便會把它維修好，並貼上寫有維修好的紙條。後來，大家為了感謝神秘人，在紙條上寫上感謝的字句貼牆上，今原本灰沉沉的牆壁變得色彩繽紛。
小時候，爸爸送了一台遊戲機給我，壞了很久，我沒有想過能維修好。便不妨讓神秘人一試。想不到，隔天看到遊戲機被貼上維修好的紙條。這張紙條好像在哪裡看過。爸爸的房間。那一刻，我決定了，我希望能像爸爸一樣，用自己機電方面的專長幫助其他人。神秘人，謝謝你。Mini Movie Competition - Post Secondary School Group - 1st Runner-up - 彩牆‧機電‧神秘人Producer: Hong Kong Baptist University (College of International Education) <br />[MP4 format (48.2MB)] <br />(Only Cantonese dialogue, Traditional Chinese subtitles provided) Download script

妹妹：又來了。
媽媽：你快點重開總制。
哥哥：嘩，甚麼事？燈都全關上？
妹妹：不是，哥。又跳總掣了
哥哥：你看看那些空調、熨斗和風筒，每種都是耗電量高的，要不跳掣很難。
註冊的電業工程人員：你好，我是註冊的電業工程人員。請問你家裡是否跳掣？
妹妹：是。
註冊的電業工程人員：未知甚麼事呢？
妹妹：那個總掣經常跳，今個月第三次了。
註冊的電業工程人員：好，等我檢查電箱。經過初步檢查，我懷疑是電器短路而引致跳掣。就像這個風筒，你看到上面是濕的，還有它的電源線上有損壞，這樣的話容易有水進入，導致跳掣。
媽媽：妹妹，過來吃水果吧。
妹妹：是。哥，我有事情想問你。為什麼不靠自己檢查和維修呢。
哥哥：下，我甚麼工具也沒有，怎樣檢查和維修呢。難道我只用目測嗎？
妹妹：有點道理。
哥哥：其實電力這回事，當然交給專業的承辦商。雖然我是個剛畢業的電機工程高級文憑生，但仍需要二年的實習經驗。而我還差一年，我會努力地等下去。Mini Movie Competition - Post Secondary School Group - 2nd Runner-up - 機電小子Producer: Hong Kong Design Institute <br />[MP4 format (39.3MB)] <br />(Only Cantonese dialogue, Traditional Chinese subtitles provided) Download script

Karman 很多人認為要成為一個出色既魔術師，除了道具之外，純熟的技巧亦很重要，而我認為機電知識是魔術師的法寶。
不信？且看我表演怎樣用精神力量轉動口螺絲！
是不是非常神奇？
稍停(插入Harry講解1)
只要我地用想像力，以解單的機械原理，就創制出自診介子，介子分為上下兩層，當螺絲有許鬆脫，兩片磁石因為同極互斥的關係，兩片介子就會向左右兩方旋轉，便會出現警示既顏色，從而提醒使用者再上緊口螺絲，避免意外發生。
MIra 接著我要表演用念力開啓這盞燈，大家看看，開關都不用，盞燈就開啓，有何原因？稍停(插入Harry講解2)
我的同學就利用這個原理發明了安全輕觸制動，當使用者誤觸機械的轉動部份，就令內裡的接觸開關觸發制動系統剎停機器，從而減少意外發生。
Kay 欣賞過以上的魔術，除了解釋機電生活小品的原理，還希望可以啟發年青人的創意來優化產品，令產品更完善同更安全，不知有沒有啟發你呢？再見
Harry講解1 我把螺絲放於模擬震動器，螺帽就會震鬆，螺帽是因為震動關係而鬆脫，Karman只是把震動器收藏於螺絲裡，大家就很難察覺。
Harry講解2 盞燈裡有一名為接觸開關的感應器，只要我們觸摸盞燈的金屬外殼，人體電流就會由外殼傳到感應器，燈泡就會亮起。Mini Movie Competition - Secondary School Group - Championship - 機電の魔法Producer: S.K.H. Li Ping Secondary School <br />[MP4 format (25.7MB)] <br />(Only Cantonese dialogue, Traditional Chinese subtitles provided) Download script

旁白：這是我的好朋友，阿光。她跟我說了一個很奇妙的事。
某一日，她想拿她的隔夜飯去微波爐加熱，當午餐，但她發現微波爐怎麼開也開不了，心情有點暴躁。
她打算去大廳看電視，消磨時間，但電視竟然打不開，她開始覺得有點奇怪。
她又想起現在是農曆七月，家裡會不會有些什麼…她越想越害怕，於是她就離開了家，但打算乘升降機的時候，她發現升降機，怎麼也按不著，心裡更加慌，只好走樓梯，走得滿頭大汗。
她打算去圖書館使用電腦上網，但她發覺所有電腦都打不開。突然，有一張紙跌落在地上，紙上寫著一句：「這是一個沒有機電的世界，請好好體驗！笑。」接著，她受驚而暈倒了。
她起身的時候，又覺得肚子餓了，發現微波爐開著了而且可以使用。電視以經如常播放新聞。先頭的一切就如南柯一夢。接著她出門口，看見升降機門口有一張通和寫著「升降機維修已完成，一切正常。」升降機裡面有一張證書，證書上有一位註冊機電工程師的簽名。
然後，她回去圖書館，之後她想回之前的一句：「這是一個沒有機電的世界。」但係她開電腦時候，電腦竟然開得到。
我聽完這故事有什麼感想？當然只是一笑置之，但深入思考，如果這世界沒有機電工程師，全人類應該會陷入恐慌。因為我們會失去所有娛樂，這樣人生怎會有樂趣可言。Mini Movie Competition - Secondary School Group - 2nd Runner-up - 攝影‧機Producer: The Church of Christ in China Heep Who College <br />[MP4 format (30.1MB)] <br />(Only Cantonese dialogue provided) Download script
