The CEDD Safety Stand-down Workshop 2026, organized by the Civil Engineering and Development Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and supported by the Research Centre for Design for Safety of PolyU CEE, was successfully held on 3 June 2026. The event brought together senior management from the HKSAR Government, along with collaborators from consultants and contractors, to share best practices and insights on site safety management.
Prof. Songye Zhu, Interim Head and Professor of CEE, represented the Department at the workshop. His participation underscored the university’s ongoing commitment to advancing construction safety research and fostering deeper industry collaboration. CEE has long been dedicated to promoting safety within the construction sector, and strives to advance the science and practice of safety by integrating cutting-edge research from engineering, environmental science, and systems design.
We welcome industry partners to collaborate with us not only to equip future generations with skills and knowledge but also to translate research findings into practical, actionable solutions. Together, let’s establish a safe and risk-free environment in the construction industry.
