We strive to meet the diverse and dynamic needs of our course
participants and the agencies they represent, with the full
support of the community and its resources.
About OESS
The Occupational and Environmental Safety Services (OESS) Unit
of the
Industrial
Centre
is the first of its kind in tertiary education. It has become a
major professional training base and service provider in the
field of industrial safety. The Unit is a natural evolution from
the previous Safety Unit, which had been pioneering safety
education in Hong Kong since 1979.
For over 20 years it has been conducting
Safety Officer training courses
that received accreditation from the Labour Department.
Graduates are deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements
for the statutory registration of Safety Officers. Aptly enough
they form the backbone of the practicing safety professionals in
Hong Kong. It is also the first establishment in Hong Kong to
host a
Master's Degree
programme in Safety management. There have been popular demand
since the postgraduate scheme was launched in 1996.
The recent inclusion of environmental elements in our safety
programmes is an anticipation of a more environmental-conscious
society in the future.
Quality Assurance and Safety Management
The Industrial
Centre
has always held professional excellence and high quality as its
foremost goals. The principles of Quality Assurance and Safety
Management adopted by the Centre are, individuals, neither new
or unique, but in the present case have been implemented as a
total system approach driven by the Centre's
vision and
mission.
To provide appropriate quality and safety leadership the IC has
initiated a
Performance
Pledge
and promulgated departmental
Safety &
Health and QA Policies
to cultivate a quality and safety culture that strives for
continuous improvement.
