Workplace Safety
HPH Trust places great emphasis on
safety in the workplace and is a long-time
advocate of road safety.
This year HIT continued its support of
the Road Safety Campaign organised by
Kwai Tsing District Council Road Safety
Committee. HIT ran a game booth at
the Road Safety carnival, which raised
local residents’ awareness on road
safety issues.
To promote the highest standards of
health and safety practice for employees,
contractors and visitors at HIT, the Trust
was delighted to sign the Occupational
Safety Charter certifcate. The Certifcate
was presented on 16 February 2012
jointly by the Occupational Safety
and Health Council and the Labour
Department of Hong Kong and is a
declaration of workplace safety in all
business activities.
Public awareness is critical in promoting
safety, and HIT contributed towards this
by sponsoring the Safety Quiz 2012,
organised by the Occupational Safety
and Health Council, to raise public
awareness on occupational safety and
health issues. The Quiz was held on
16 September 2012 at the Council’s
Occupational Safety and Health
Academy.
On 29 June 2012, HIT co-organised a
Container Terminals Safe Driving Quiz
with the other four terminal operators
in Hong Kong to raise the driving safety
awareness of all terminals personnel.
A total of 16 teams from the organizing
companies and their contractors joined
the quiz.
Sustainability
Care for the environment is also a priority
and the Trust continually reviews its
sustainability and green practices.
Pioneering the latest technology
in clean energy
YICT is a pioneer to use Liquefed
Natural Gas (LNG) to power its feet
of container tractors in China. YICT
signed an agreement with China
National Offshore Oil Corporation
for it to supply LNG to the terminal’s
LNG tractors in March 2012. The
terminal has 210 LNG-powered tractors
in operation at the end of 2012, which
emit 82% less particulate matters than
diesel-powered container tractors of
the same horsepower.
