Following are the remarks by the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, at a media session after attending a radio programme today morning (June 27):

Reporter: In light of the latest death at Kowloon Bay, what measures need to be put in place to prevent more industrial accidents from happening? And how do you see the role of smart site safety system technology preventing incidents like this? And what more can be done to ensure these systems are protecting every worker on every site? 

Secretary for Labour and Welfare: We are very concerned about the fatal industrial accident in Kowloon Bay. We are investigating the accident. There is not much detail we can provide right now. But of course, the direction we are looking at includes whether or not those involved in the works were operating in accordance with the code of practice and all the safety requirements that are necessary for that kind of work. We are looking at that. You can all rest assured that we will look into it seriously, and if there is anyone who will be held responsible for causing the accident, we will take action in accordance with the law.
