Potential smoking ban for construction workers after Tai Po fire

The Real Estate Developers Association will be meeting to discuss a smoking ban for construction workers on Friday at the earliest.

After Tai Po's tragedy, more people are paying attention to the issue of workers smoking on construction sites.

A property developer said workers are not allowed to bring cigarettes to its construction sites starting this month.

A sign says that those who violate the rule will receive a fine of 5,000 dollars and will be kicked out of the construction site.

Sources say foremen will conduct body checks on workers.
