The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) announced today (March 27) the rating results of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinder Distributor Safety Performance Recognition Scheme for 2024.
All the 143 distributors under the five registered gas supply companies supplying LPG cylinders in Hong Kong joined the Scheme. Among the participants, 63 attained the highest level of safety performance, the gold rating, while 14 and 66 received silver and bronze ratings respectively.
Under the Scheme, independent auditing companies commissioned by the registered gas supply companies rated the distributors based on their performance in 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.
Organised by the EMSD and registered gas supply companies, the Scheme aims to enhance the safety performance of the LPG cylinder trade. The public may visit the EMSD website (www.emsd.gov.hk/en/media/lpgcdsprs) or download the EMSD mobile application "E&M Connect" for details of the Scheme and the ratings of the distributors.
