Professional engineers play an important role in occupational safety and health. Safe design and safe operation of engineering works not only prevents accidents but also increases productivity. This in turn strengthens the competitiveness of the organization. Engineers have the responsibility for safe operation and maintenance of the plant and equipment during production through the establishment of the safety management system. To enable engineers to fulfill these duties, they need to possess the concept of the safety management systems and its components. They also need to know the ways to implement safety management systems on construction projects. The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers recognises this situation and jointly organizes safety training courses with the Occupational Safety and Health Council for graduate engineers.
