Safety is always the first priority at the construction site. To inspire our undergraduate students and raise their awareness of construction safety, around twenty students joined the 1.5-day training, “Experiential Learning on Site Safety 2021 – 2022” Training Scheme, which is co-organised by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and the Hong Kong Construction Association (HKCA) on 19 – 20 December 2021.
The training was well-received by our students. They have gained lots of invaluable knowledge on construction safety, work-at-height, lifting operations and more through the first day of interactive and structured training. To enhance the students’ safety awareness and experience the real situation, they have joined the simulation-based training to model real accident scenarios in eight different training zones, including Chemical & Electrical Safety, Fire Safety, Personal Protective Equipment, Work-at-Height, and so on.
