2017)

Construction Accident Statistics

Administrative Procedures

(Note : These procedures apply to dangerous occurrences and construction accidents

which result in death or incapacity for more than 3 days. The detailed
arrangement and timings can be modified to suit departmental administrative
procedures.)

1 The computer system entitled “PWP Construction Site Safety & Environmental
Statistics (PCSES)” is being maintained by the Development Bureau which is
an upgrade of the PWP Construction Accident Statistics (PCAS) system
developed in 1994 for compiling and analyzing accident statistics of public works.
The accident statistics covered in the PCSES system include severe incidents,
dangerous occurrences and reportable accidents resulting in death, serious injury
and injury with incapacity for more than 3 days.

2 The Architect/Engineer’s Representative shall collect information according to the

schedule listed below for public works contracts including term contracts under
his control and copy to the Departmental Safety Advisory Unit after uploading the
information into the PCSES system.

(a) Construction Accident Statistics Monthly Summary

(Appendix V(a)) – to be submitted for each contract on or before the
15th day of each month following the reporting month since the
contract commencement till completion or substantially completion as
determined by the Architect/Engineer’s Representative.

(b) Summary of Data on Details of Contract (Appendix V(b)) – to be

submitted within 30 days after the award of contract.

(c) Injury Report Form (Appendix VI) – to be submitted within 7 days

from the date of an accident (including accidents happened not within
the construction sites but related to the work activities of a public works
contract).

3 One purpose of establishing the PCSES system is for the monitoring and analysis
of construction accident statistics for public works contracts. The following types
of accidents should be separately reported under individual contracts/departments
and should not be input into the PCSES system:

(a) accident occurred in a site office or works site but was not related to any
construction activity of a public works contract;

(b) accident concerning the injury of a government staff;

(c) accident concerning the injury of resident site staff of the HKSAR
Government or its agents including those employed by consultants; and

(d) accident concerning the injury of visitors or the public to the site and
was not related to any construction activity of a public works contract.

4 The following points should be noted in calculating the man-days lost for Item 4
of Part A of the Construction Accident Statistics Monthly Summary:

(a) the number of man-days lost for a contract during the reported month
should be separated into two types, namely: -

i) the number of man-days lost due to non-fatal reportable

accidents occurred within the reported month; and
ii) the number of man-days lost in the reported month due to
non-fatal reportable accidents occurred in the previous
months but with sick leave carried forward to the reported
month;

(b) public holidays within the sick leave period should be counted; and

(c) the day of the reportable accident should be excluded in calculating

man-days lost.

5 “Man-hours worked” is defined as the man-hours worked by all persons employed

by principal contractor and his sub-contractors who are exposed to risk, including
the contractor’s site managerial and supervisory staff, workers and watchmen etc.
The man-hours worked of Architect/Engineer’s site staff are to be excluded.

6 “Man-days worked” should only cover man-days worked by workers, foremen

and gangers employed on the site but excluding managerial and supervisory staff
of principal contractor and sub-contractors. The man-days worked of
Architect/Engineer’s site staff are to be excluded.

7 The Injury Report Form should be completed by the contractor’s Safety Officer or
Site Agent who should take note of the followings in completion:

(a) The contractor can develop a system for the “Ref. No. of Injury” to
represent accidents of different sub-contractors. For example, the
reference number of the first injury involving sub-contractor G may be
designated as G001 and that involving sub-contractor M can be M001
etc.

(b) A serious injury means that the injured person is admitted to a hospital
immediately following the accident for observation or treatment with
duration for more than 24 hours.

(c) The sick leave end date in Section C10 should be provided when
known.

(d) The selection for some of the Sections in the Injury Report Form can
have more than one tick. Moreover, “Carelessness” is not an
acceptable entry for “Others” under various Sections of the Injury
Report Form and the known facts should be specified as far as
possible.

8 Whenever there was a fatal or non-fatal reportable construction accident

happened for a public works contract, the contractor shall complete Part C of
Appendix V(a) on monthly basis and submit to the Architect/Engineer’s
Representative to advise the end date of sick leave and the cost of each injury
including sick leave pay and compensation of permanent disability until the
settlement of compensation of all injury cases under the same contract have been
completed.
