icon Hello, Viann. Last year, you acted as the presenter of "Electrical Work Safety", a video produced by the EMSD to raise the work safety awareness of the electrical trade. Would you mind telling our readers about the video briefly?
icon Of course. The video is based on the common working scenarios facing electrical workers and highlights safety measures that may be overlooked at work. Through the stories of the actors Master Wong and his apprentices Ah On and Ah Chuen, the video reminds the electrical trade to adopt proper safety measures and relevant safety requirements in the 2009 edition of the Code of Practice for the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations . Electrical workers can thus learn from the past to avoid accidents.
icon What do you think about electrical safety after the shooting?
icon Electricity is essential to our daily lives, so we must be very careful when choosing and using electrical appliances.
icon In fact, apart from the safety of domestic electrical appliances, it is also vital to ensure safe and stable electricity supply and the safety of fixed electrical installations in buildings.
icon I am more aware of the importance of electrical work safety after the shooting of video. Property owners and incorporated owners must employ registered electrical contractors to carry out inspections of fixed electrical installations in their buildings at least once every 5 years and to repair and maintain the installations regularly. When carrying out electrical works, registered electrical contractors and registered electrical workers must comply with the requirements of the Code of Practice for the Electricity (Wiring) Regulations to ensure work safety.
icon Yes. To ensure safe use of electricity, we should not only do our part in our daily lives, but also keep an eye on the electrical installations in the building that we live in so as to enhance our sense of electrical safety. Thank you for granting the interview, Viann. I wish you every success in your performing career.
