MTR is committed to ensuring the health and safety of staff, customers,
contractors and the public on its premises. We take care to ensure a climate
of safety awareness in all areas and strive for continuous improvement
in safety performance. Our efforts during 2001 once again resulted in
safety records for all groups that are among the lowest in the world for
our type of operations.
Raising Awareness
Education on the safe use of the MTR rail network continued during 2001
through our Passenger Behaviour and Education programme. Staff visited
39 schools and senior citizen centers and organized visits to MTR facilities
to raise awareness of safety issues. Customer safety was further encouraged
by MTR's Model Passenger Awards, Escalator Safety Campaign, Safety Month
and participation in Transport Day. A passenger guide 'Safety
on the MTR' can be found at the MTR Web site.

Awareness
among employees was advanced during the year through regular training, events
such as the Corporate Safety Week and the Inter-company safety quiz. A pilot
Behavioural Accident Prevention Protection Process was introduced at the
Airport Railway to improve working practices in operations and new construction
work. |
Improving Risk Management
All new equipment destined for MTR continues to be evaluated for its health
and safety performance. Our risk management system, which seeks to identify
and mitigate potential hazards was improved through the upgrading of the
Hazard Registration System in order to allow faster data retrieval, analysis
and reporting.
