Providing a Safe Workplace
We continue to make every endeavour to provide a safe and comfortable work environment for staff.
A departmental Safety Management Committee was set up in 1997 to formulate and implement policy on
occupational safety and health. We have promulgated comprehensive guidelines and procedures on
occupational safety and provided our staff with ergonomic office furniture and equipment to promote
occupational health. We have also participated in the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Certification Scheme organised by
the Environmental Protection Department since 2003. Regular inspections are conducted to ensure that the
workplace is free from safety hazards.
Public Education
The Land Registry has launched a bilingual teaching kit,
consisting of two booklets and a CD-ROM, on land
registration in Hong Kong entitled “Decoding Land
Registration” for the Liberal Studies subject in the New
Senior Secondary curriculum.
The teaching kit comprises six lessons with tailor made
class activities and supplementary reading and reference
materials. It aims to introduce to students the history of
land registration in Hong Kong, the roles and functions of
the Land Registry and the reform of our land registration
system from a deeds registration system to a title
registration system. It also enhances students’ awareness
of the significant role played by land registration in the
development of Hong Kong and its close relationship with
people’s everyday life.
Printed copies of the teaching kit were delivered in early February 2013 to all secondary schools which offer
Liberal Studies classes.
FUTURE PLAN
Green Management
We will continue to promote a “green office” environment and explore opportunities for reducing consumption of
energy and paper.
Public Education
To support the use of the teaching kit, we will set up an online resource centre by the second half of 2013 to
provide students with a one-stop information platform for interactive study and to help teachers to conduct
researches and collect information for preparing classroom discussions and activities on the subject.
