Fung Cho Kiu Esther
BSc in Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH), 2018
After graduating from PolyU EOSH in 2018, I returned to China Geo-Engineering Corporation (CGC) where I had my internship to start my career. I currently work as a Project Safety Engineer under the Geotechnical Engineering Department in CGC, mainly responsible for the safety issues of Slope Upgrading Works projects under GEO’s Landslip Prevention and Mitigation Programme (LPMitP).
CGC has given numerous opportunities and comprehensive trainings for graduates to explore their interests and widen their horizon in various aspects of the industry. I participated in different kinds of safety promotion campaigns and competitions in the industry, such as Considerate Contractors Site Award Scheme and Construction Industry Council (CIC) events.
Also, CGC believes promoting construction safety means taking care of workers wholeheartedly on both individual and collective levels. In order to express care to workers and their families, a Home Visit Scheme, initiated by CGC’s Director Ir Tom Lee, was introduced to the company in February 2012. Ir Lee is also a PolyU CEE graduate who is committed to attending every home visit in person annually to meet and communicate with the workers.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank PolyU CEE for equipping me with professional knowledge and skills for my career development! It allows me to gain these valuable experiences, which have ignited my passion to be a better safety practitioner and contribute to society.
