(15 April 2003; Hong Kong) Shui On Construction And Materials Limited ("SOCAM"; stock code: 983) has won the "Considerate Contractors Site Awards" for the fifth time with its Castle Peak Hospital Redevelopment Phase 2 Stage 2 and Tung Chung Area 20 and 40 projects. The "Considerate Contractors Site Award Scheme" was established by the Environment, Transport and Works Bureau in 1995 to recognise contractors for their considerate attitude towards the public and the neighbours in carrying out works, outstanding site safety and environmental performance, and good site management. The assessment is carried out jointly by representatives from the organiser and project architects, who inspect all participating construction sites periodically and assess the overall site management, safety, law compliance and environmental measures.
Shui On endeavours to provide a healthy and safe environment to site staff and workers by constantly reviewing its work procedures and methods. The company also conducts frequent training and promotions to raise their awareness of occupational health and safety issues. Through the concerted efforts of its management, site staff, subcontractors and their workers, site safety performance has shown remarkable improvement. Recently, Shui On has also won a gold award and several bronze and merit awards at the "Construction Industry Safety Award Scheme 2002/2003" organised by the Labour Department.
