Introduction

To arouse the work safety standard of the electrical trade, EMSD cooperates with the trade to jointly organise an "Outstanding Safety Performance Awards for Electrical Worker 2011" (Chinese version only) [PDF format (566KB)]. The selection aims to promote messages of work safety to the electrical trade.

Objectives

1. To promote work safety culture among electrical workers.
2. To encourage electrical workers to comply with work safety rules.
3. To award prizes to registered electrical workers who put a high premium on work safety and implement safety measures.

Format and Assessment

The selection will be conducted in two stages.

In the first stage, a written test will be held. Participants will have to answer 40 multiple choice questions regarding electrical work safety. The 10 participants with the highest scores will enter the second stage subject to the approval of the adjudication panel.

In the second stage, interviews will be conducted. The adjudication panel, which comprises 5 representatives from EMSD, the trade and the academic sector, will ask the participants questions on the safety aspects of their daily work. Winners will be selected based on the participants' knowledge of the following subjects:

1. The Code of Practice for the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations
2. Personal protective equipment and its application
3. Safe working environment
4. Power suspension before electrical work
5. Safety procedures of carrying out electrical work
