The Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) issued five suspension orders to construction sites for the month of October, in the wake of the inspections conducted of some 541 construction sites in the city.
Being the second inspection this year, DSAL aims to check the safety conditions of construction sites after harsh weather.
The Bureau made 231 improvement suggestions to constructors of problematic sites and penalised 48 areas not passing safety standards.
Issues that appeared in sites are mostly related to collective protection measures and working at height.
DSAL reiterated the continuation of enhancing safety awareness in construction via inspection and education.
