Construction Safety & Industrial Summons

Members of Liberty Chambers advise and represent in construction safety and industrial regulations under ordinances like the Occupational Safety and Health (Cap 509), Factories and Industrial Undertakings (Cap 59), Construction Sites (Safety) Regulations, and Buildings Ordinance.

They provide defence in summons responses, negotiations, hearings, and trials; proactive compliance guidance on risk management and policies; complex investigation handling; settlement negotiations; and appeals or judicial reviews.
