 by prescribed occupational diseases. Under the ECO, if an employee sustains an injury or dies as a result of an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, his employer is in general liable to pay compensation even if the employee might have committed acts of faults or negligence when the accident occurred. Similarly, an employee who suffers incapacity or dies arising from an occupational disease is entitled to receive the same compensation as that payable to employees injured in occupational accidents. Minimum Wage Ordinance (Chapter 608 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“MWO”) The MWO provides for a prescribed minimum hourly wage rate at HK$37.5 per hour for every employee employed under the EO. Any provision of the employment contract which purports to extinguish or reduce the right, benefit or protection conferred on the employee by the MWO is void. 125 Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (Chapter 509 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“OSHO”) The OSHO provides for the safety and health of persons when they are at work, to provide for related matters. Employers must as far as reasonably practicable ensure the safety and health in their workplaces by: (a)providing and maintaining plant and work systems that are safe and without risks to health; (b)making arrangement for ensuring safety and absence of risks to health in connection with the use, handling, storage or transport of plant or substances; (c)providing all necessary information, instruction, training, and supervision for ensuring safety and health; (d)providing and maintaining safe access to and egress from the workplaces; and (e)providing and maintaining a working environment that is safe and without risks to health. Failure to comply with the above provisions constitutes an offence and the employer is liable on conviction to a fine of HK$200,000. An employer who fails to do so intentionally knowingly or recklessly commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of HK$200,000 and to imprisonment for six months. The Commissioner for Labour may also issue improvement notices against noncompliance of the OSHO or the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance (Chapter 59 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or suspension notices against activity of workplace which may create imminent hazard to the employees. Failure to comply with such notices constitutes an offence punishable by a fine of HK$200,000 and HK$500,000 respectively and imprisonment of up to one year. THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS ON BITCO
