Hong Kong developers push for blanket smoking ban at construction sites after deadly fire
Major Hong Kong developers, including Sino Land, Swire Properties, Sun Hung Kai, and New World Development, are considering a blanket smoking ban at construction sites after a deadly fire in Tai Po. Henderson Land Development has already implemented the ban, with strict penalties for violations. CK Asset Holdings has also prohibited smoking, with severe consequences for rule-breakers. The Real Estate Developers Association is gathering views on the ban. The Construction Industry Council and the Commissioner of Labour support the prohibition of smoking at construction sites.
