A safe and healthy workforce is the cornerstone of a vibrant, well-run organization. To this end, Hongkong International Terminals Limited (HIT) makes it a priority to promote a greater awareness of safety and health issues among its staff, while also initiating and taking part in community activities and maintaining close relationships with external parties. Here are some examples of HIT in action.

Hutchison Ports HIT is committed to promoting occupational safety and health, and has published safety booklets earlier, which cover a wide range of frontline positions, to remind them about safety rules using images and simple text. A book launching ceremony was held with Commissioner for Labour, Mr Carlson Chan, as the officiating guest. The representative from the Labour Department also delivered a talk to frontline workers in enhancing their awareness on workplace safety and health.
