Application for Accreditation Tuen Mun Safe Community of Hong Kong Accreditation report for Tuen Mun Safe Community of Hong Kong Application for Accreditation Tuen Mun Safe Community Of Hong Kong Dr. Cheng Man-yung, Chairman, Working Committee, Tuen Mun Safe Community Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China October 2002 1 Accreditation report for Tuen Mun Safe Community of Hong Kong I. Greeting There is a general misconception that the word “safe” in a Safe Community only applies to the work environment. But in fact, people should pay more attention to every aspect of their lives, no matter how minor it is. Tuen Mun was inaugurated as the first safe community in Hong Kong on 21 March 2001. I hope this can act as a bridge between us and other communities, and serves as a communication channel for the residents in Tuen Mun so that they can get to know more about the project as well as details of the activities. As the Chairman of the Tuen Mun District Council, I will work closely with my colleagues and give full support to the “Safe Community”. We will liaise with various government departments, major corporations, schools and social groups to ensure the concept of safe community reaches every corner of the community. I hope Tuen Mun will become a designated safe community that is recognized by the World Health Organization. And more importantly, Tuen Mun will be a safe and healthy home and workplace for our next generation.

The Tuen Mun Safe Community of Hong Kong SAR, China Photo : The map of Hong Kong SAR, China Introduction Tuen Mun is the first safe community in Hong Kong. The concept of “Safe Community” began its formal existence in 1989, at the First World Conference on Accident and Injury Prevention held in Stockholm, Sweden. The resolution of the conference – the Manifesto for Safe Communities – states that “All human beings have an equal right to health and safety”. Safe community has since been the World Health Organization (WHO)’s main health promotion strategy. The idea of safe community takes reference from outreaching programme. Through a steering committee, professional organizations, enterprises, schools, hospitals, government departments and individual enthusiasts, etc. are linked together, to provide people in the community with comfortable, safe and healthy living and working environments. With a strong safety culture, organizations would increase productivity and cost effectiveness, and the society would be relieved of heavy social cost of injuries and illnesses. With the help of the Occupational Safety and Health Council, the Tuen Mun Safe Community Steering Committee was set up in December 1999. The Steering Committee has a strong representation which includes government departments, hospital, university and enterprises. The Steering Committee also has the chairman of Tuen Mun District Council as the patron of the Tuen Mun Safe Community. The Tuen Mun Safe Community Inauguration Ceremony was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 21 March 2000. Professor Leif Svanstrom, Chairman of World Health Organization Collaboration Centre on Community Safety, presented the members of the Tuen Mun Safe Community Steering Committee a certificate of appointment of the Tuen Mun Safe Community. 4 Accreditation report for Tuen Mun Safe Community of Hong Kong (1) (2) Photo : Inauguration of Tuen Mun Safe Community (1) Members of TMSC Steering Committee meeting for logo design competition (2) General information for Tuen Mun Community Location and Area : Tuen Mun, with a size of about 82 square kilometres is situated at the western part of the New Territories of Hong Kong and is on the coast of Ling Ding Yang.
