機電工程署致力推動工地注重公德的態度，以及安全、健康及環保的良好作業方式。

我們明白任何關懷員工、鄰舍和環境的行動，均可傳遞公眾價值的訊息，所以我們鼓勵承辦商在工地保持公德，並盡一切努力，減少對受影響人士的負面影響，我們更鼓勵承辦商保持高水平的工作安全，以便為我們客戶的設施提供無間斷的維修服務，更好地服務社會。

正是本着這份精神，我們衷心祝賀在最近「第20屆公德地盤嘉許計劃」中獲獎的承辦商，他們在工地的良好作業方式，完全體現出高度注重公德的態度。該計劃由發展局及建造業議會聯合主辦，機電工程署五項合約獲得了一個銅獎和四個優異獎。其中一個獎項屬新建工程合約，而其餘則屬維修、保養、改建及加建工程合約。

獲銅獎的合約，是為不同的政府場地的升降機及自動梯，提供全面保養和維修服務。值得注意是該承辦商為這項工程合約創設的兩項安全措施 ─ 於更換主纜時使用安全工作平台；及安裝提示標籤，從而減低因大意而忘記拆除控制板內旁路接線的機會。


Award Winning Considerate Contractor Sites

EMSD is committed to promoting a considerate attitude at work sites, good site safety as well as health and environmental practices.

We encourage our contractors to be considerate and make every effort to minimise negative impact on affected parties, as considerate practices such as caring for workers, neighbours and the environment are conducive to delivering value to the public. We also encourage them to maintain a high level of work safety in order to provide uninterrupted maintenance services for our clients’ facilities, thereby better serving the community.

It is with this spirit that we congratulate our contractors who have exhibited a highly considerate attitude in their work site practices and won awards in the most recent 20th Considerate Contractors Site Award Scheme, jointly organised by Development Bureau and Construction Industry Council. Five EMSD contracts won a Bronze Award and four Merit Awards. One of the five awards was for new works contracts while the rest were for repair, maintenance, alteration and addition works contracts.

The Bronze Award went to a contract for the comprehensive maintenance and repair of lift and escalator installations at various Government premises. Two safety measures taken by that contractor are noteworthy – the safety working platform for suspension rope replacement, and the bypass wiring indicator that minimises the chances of overlooking the bypass wires in control panels which should be removed after maintenance or repairing works.
