Led by Dr Nicole Yiu, Programme Leader of BSc (Hons) in Environmental and Occupational Safety & Health (EOSH), a group of 37 EOSH students embarked on an insightful site visit to the Goodman Texaco Centre on 8 April 2025 (Tuesday). This visit provided a unique opportunity for them to explore the ongoing alteration and addition works for the project of transforming a 23-storey factory building to a data centre, managed by the main contractor, Chinney Construction Co. Ltd.
The activity was kicked off with a comprehensive safety briefing, emphasizing the importance of safety practices in construction environments. Students were then guided through the site, where they were able to observe various key components of the project, including metal structures, tower crane, excavator and material hoist.
The visit not only enriched the students' understanding of real-world construction practices but also reinforced the significance of occupational safety in the industry. We extend our gratitude to Chinney Construction Co. Ltd. for their warm hospitality and informative guidance throughout the visit. This experience undoubtedly contributed to the professional growth of the students, preparing them for future challenges in the field of occupational safety and health.
