Symposium on Mindset Change & Technology Embrace in Safety Engineering

Symposium on Mindset Change & Technology Embrace in Safety Engineering

Date : 9 May 2014 (Friday) Time : 9:00am – 5:15pm Venue : Chiang Chen Studio Theatre, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Theme Safety engineering endeavors to reduce the frequency of failures, and ensure that when failures do occur, the consequences are not serious and no harm to anyone. In this regard, key disciplines or teams can use several types of analyses to identify hazards, validate hazards and verify design assesses and if needed to specify new safety features and procedures to mitigate risk strategically. In fact, they all involve skills and mindset of the participants during implementation, thus trainings would be necessary so as to ease the challenges put on them.   The Symposium will provide a platform for distinguished guests and experts in various sectors to bring along some innovative ideas on mindset change and technology embrace in safety engineering, and thus to reduce the chance of accidents so as to foster a better and safer environment.   Organizing Committe Advisors : IrDr.JeffreyYUNG Kin-kwong Ir Edwin LAU Kwok-kwong Ir Dr. Joseph CHI Wuh-jian Ir PAU Wai-keung Ir Dr. Jackson LAU Chi Keung   Chairman : Ir Dr. John LEUNG Ka-kit   Deputy Chairman : Ir Dr. HO Chi-ming   Honorary Secretary : Ir Dr. HO Chi-sing   Honorary Treasurer : Ir Albert CHUN Chun-kit   Honorary Artwork Designer : Ir LAU Kwok-cheong   Members : Ir LAW Man-hoi Ir Kenny LI     Ir Ken LUK Wai-chung Mr. Simon PANG Hin-lam     Ir Allen POON Ir Vincent TAM Wing-yeung     Dr. K K TONG Ir Barry TSUI     Mr. Martin WAN Chun-wah Mr. Edmond WONG Yiu-shing     Ms. Angela YUEN Hou-yee     Supporting Organizations       Associate Members Committee, The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers       Building Services Operation and Maintenance Executives Society       Construction Industry Council       Department of Building and Real Estate, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University       Hong Kong Federation of Occupational Safety and Health Associations       Hong Kong Institute of Construction Managers       International Facility Management Association – Hong Kong Chapter       IOSH Hong Kong       Social Resources Development Institute       Young Members Committee, The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers Sponsors           ABB (Hong Kong) Ltd           CLP Power Hong Kong Ltd           Hsin Chong Construction Co Ltd           Leighton Contractors (Asia) Ltd           Sanfield Building Contractors Ltd           Yau Lee Construction Co Ltd           MTR Corporation Ltd     Superpower Pumping Engineering Co Ltd Registration Fee Members of HKIE and Supporting Organizations : $700   Non-Members   :   $800   Registration & Enquiries Please complete the registration form below and return it together with appropriate payment by a crossed cheque made payable to “The HKIE – Safety Specialist Committee”.
