SAFETY INSITE WINTER 2011 - Site Safe

Jxiang Province
On the 9th May, the Auckland Site Safe office
received a Government delegation from the Jxiang
province of China. The delegation was lead by
Zheng Le Xian Deputy Director of Work Safety,
and Kang Bin Emergency Rescue Commander and
were touring Australia and New Zealand to study
how other countries manage workplace safety.
Site Safe's Auckland regional manager Russell
Parker talked to them about Site Safe's mission
and what activities are currently underway with the
New Zealand construction industry and how that
connects with the New Zealand Health and Safety
in Employment act 1992.
Parker commented that some interesting points there were raised were that "all construction
workers in the Jxiang province are required to go through a base level training programme
that is payed for by the Government". Parker went on to say" they were amazed that Site
Safe was not more supported and utilised by the Department of Labour to assist in policing
the industry."
The Jxiang province area is over 160000 km2 , and has a population of approximately 39.66
million. Their nominal GDP for 2009 was 765 billion yuan (112.1 billion USD).
