Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Dear Mr Cheung, Information on Agenda Item “Working Arrangements and Labour Benefits for Government Outsourced Workers Performing Cleansing Duties in Public Toilets” I refer to your letter to the Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene on 17 May 2019. I am authorised to reply as follows. (a) The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) will roll out comprehensive refurbishment or facelifting works for 240 public toilets in the coming 5 years from 2019-20 to 2023-24 at an estimated capital expenditure of $600 million, and work out the list of these public toilets with regard to their maintenance conditions and utilisation rate. The Department is planning to commence refurbishment or facelifting works for about 40 public toilets in 2019-20. Further details such as the location and geographical distribution, as well as the estimated cost of the works of these toilets will be available at a later stage. 1 (b) Currently, 264 public toilets managed by FEHD are provided with attendant services and 231 of them are provided with attendant rooms. The current situations of public toilets under FEHD are at Annex. FEHD is reviewing the facilities in the attendant rooms of public toilets. If circumstances permit, the Government will install power sockets, oscillating fans, exhaust fans, etc. in existing attendant rooms to improve their environments. FEHD is working closely with the relevant departments for follow up, with a view to implementing the enhancement measures as soon as practicable. In addition, FEHD will as far as possible make available attendant rooms and improve facilities for toilet attendants in new public toilets, or when public toilets are reprovisioned or refurbished. Power sockets, lockers, oscillating fans as well as ventilation, lighting and exhaust fans will be installed in attendant rooms where facilities for the attendants to take rest and change clothes will also be provided. In general, toilet attendants work on day and evening shifts at different working hours at a maximum of not exceeding 10 hours per shift per day. The information is summarised as follows: Work Length of Working Hours No. of Public Toilets Shift(s) (No. of Shifts) One 8 hours or more 97(97) Less than 8 hours 4(4) Two 8 hours or more 157(157) Less than 8 hours 157(157) Three 8 hours or more 6(9) Less than 8 hours 6(9) Under the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (Cap. 509) (the Ordinance) and its subsidiary regulation, it is the responsibility of the street cleansing contractors of FEHD to provide their employees with sufficient drinking water. If FEHD staff find or 2 suspect any contractor who has contravened the Ordinance during their routine inspections, the case will be referred to the Labour Department for follow-up actions. If a contractor is convicted of breaching the Ordinance, FEHD may terminate its contract. In addition, FEHD has specified in its new contracts that the contractor’s lacking or failing to provide sufficient drinking water for its employees shall constitute a blatant default. If the contractor contravenes the clause, FEHD may issue a notice of blatant default to the contractor with deduction of monthly payment of service charge without prior warning For enquiries, please contact the undersigned. Yours sincerely, (POON Ping-yeung) for Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene c.c.
