EMSD announces latest rating results of LPG Cylinder Distributor Safety Performance Recognition Scheme (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
All the 162 distributors under the five registered gas supply companies supplying cylinder LPG in Hong Kong joined the Scheme. Among the participating distributors, 60 attained the highest level of safety performance, the gold rating, while 29 and 73 received silver and bronze ratings respectively. Compared with last year, five more distributors have attained gold rating.
Under the Scheme, independent auditing companies commissioned by the registered gas supply companies rated the distributors based on their performance in various aspects such as LPG cylinder delivery arrangements, safety inspection of gas appliances, record keeping of customer receipts, employee training and maintaining gas safety operation records. The rating results were verified by the EMSD.
Distributors will display the Scheme's logo and the rating certificate outside and inside their shops respectively for easy identification by the general public.
Organised by the EMSD and registered gas supply companies, the Scheme aims to further enhance the safety performance of the LPG cylinder trade. Details of the Scheme and the ratings of LPG cylinder distributors are available at the EMSD website (www.emsd.gov.hk/en/media/lpgcdsprs) and the EMSD mobile application "E&M Connect".
