BSc (Hons) in Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health, 2008

It is my pleasure and honour to share my story in this corner. Graduated from EOSH in 2008, I still remember my happy university life, especially the days with my classmates and friends.

Gammon Life- Site Safety Professionals Award

After finishing my years of study in the “Red-brick Castle”, I began my career in 2008 as Health and Safety Trainee at Gammon Construction Limited (“Gammon”), where I participated in serval projects, including building and civil projects. Now working as a Safety Manager, I am mainly responsible for handling project-related safety management issues, protecting workers’ lives, and fostering a culture of safety within the company.

Gammon plays a leading role in improving construction safety across the industry. In 2011, with nomination by Gammon, I was granted the Site Safety Professionals Award by the Construction Industry Council and the Lighthouse Club. This awards recognises outstanding performance in health and safety.

Jardine Ambassador

Furthermore, Gammon has provided valuable opportunities and comprehensive training for staff members to explore their interests and widen their horizon in various aspects of the industry. I had been a Jardine Ambassador for 2013-2015, joining other young and enthusiastic executives from all parts of Jardine Group in Hong Kong to volunteer in and drive the Group’s charitable activities in my personal time. Through my involvement in those public activities (such as the Central Rat Race and Walk up Jardine House), I have been able to enhance my organisational skill and interact with people from different occupations to advance my personal development.

Vice-President of Society of Registered Safety officers (SRSO)

I joined the Society of Registered Safety officers (SRSO) in 2011 and now I am the Vice-President of SRSO 2022-2024. The SRSO was established in 1991 by a group of safety professionals and officers from the Labour Department who wished to gather all Registered Safety Officers (RSO) to further enhance their professional status, and to promote safety and health across industries. I have helped SRSO organise various activities, such as safety seminars, safety trips, annual general meetings and dinners, to promote multi-discipline occupational safety and health, and environmental matters.

Construction Industry Council (CIC)

Since 2017, I have worked in Construction Industry Council (CIC) as Manager in Construction Safety and Manager in Safety Training. My main duties are to strengthen the sustainability of the construction industry in Hong Kong by providing a communication platform, strive for continuous improvement, and increase awareness on health and safety. CIC granted me many opportunities to get exposed to and serve the industry, including meeting different key stakeholders and providing secretariat support at committee, task force and working group meetings. These have improved my multi-perspective thinking, broadened my horizon and deepened my experience in construction safety.

Outstanding CEE Alumni Award

In 2021, I was very pleased and honoured to be granted the Young CEE Alumni Award 2020, which is jointly established by CEE and the Civil and Environmental Engineering Alumni Association (CEEAA). I am truly thankful to CEE and CEEAA for this prestigious recognition.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank CEE and all of my “C-Fu and Masters” for equipping me with professional knowledge and skills for my career development! They enabled me to gain valuable experiences that ignited my passion to be a better safety practitioner who can contribute to society.
