The following chart shows the key organisational structure in EMSD:

The Trading Services arm has around 4,500 staff. It provides electrical and mechanical engineering services to other Government departments and public bodies. The Regulatory Services, with a work-force of 360, enforces legislation in electrical safety, gas safety and mechanical safety; as well as promoting public awareness and practices in energy conservation and efficiency. EMSD thus has three major roles in contributing to environmental protection and conservation.

• As a good corporate citizen – we ensure our employees are well trained in environmental awareness and practices; and that our daily operations are conducted in such a way as to be in compliance with all relevant environmental legislation and standards.

• As a responsible service provider – we ensure that services provided to clients are conducted in an environmental-friendly manner; and we advise clients on technology options that are financially viable and environmental-friendly.

• As a regulatory authority for promotion of energy efficiency in the community – we implement energy efficiency programmes to help raise public awareness on energy conservation and efficiency.
