詳情 :

  In pursuance of the duties as laid down in Sections 6A and 6B of the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance, the

Regulations define general duties on employers, employees, contractors, suppliers of goods and substances for use at work,
persons in control of work premises, and those who manage and maintain them, and persons in general.
 
Statutory duty is qualified by the words of “so far as is reasonably practicable”, the risk of incident or accident has to be
weighed against the measures necessary to eliminate the risk, including the cost, time, additional risk involved. If, for example,
the employer establishes that the risk is small, but that the measures necessary to eliminate it are great, he may be held to
be exonerated from taking steps to eliminate the risk on the ground that it was not reasonably practicable for him to do so.
However, the positioning of the term within the legislation can dramatically shift the balance from one of “innocent until
proven guilty” to the reverse, as is often the criticism of the legislation and the courts have on numerous occasions noted that
what is “reasonably practicable” is to be determined objectively.
 
The speaker has experienced in the trial as an Expert Witness for some industrial accident cases. He will share the idea on the
topic.
