Experiential Learning on Site Safety 2021-2022 Training Scheme - By CIC and HKCA

Safety is always the first priority at the construction site. To inspire our undergraduate students and raise their awareness of construction safety, around twenty students joined the 1.5-day training, “Experiential Learning on Site Safety 2021 – 2022” Training Scheme, which is co-organised by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and the Hong Kong Construction Association (HKCA) on 19 – 20 December 2021. The training was well-received by our students. They have gained lots of invaluable knowledge on construction safety, work-at-height, lifting operations and more through the first day of interactive and structured training. To enhance the students’ safety awareness and experience the real situation, they have joined the simulation-based training to model real accident scenarios in eight different training zones, including Chemical & Electrical Safety, Fire Safety, Personal Protective Equipment, Work-at-Height, and so on.
