21 Jan 2026 Hip Seng Builders LimitedHong Kong: fines for Hip Seng Builders after fatal electrocution raised to HKD 521,000 €56,920
After a fatal accident on 19 August 2023 at a construction site in Chek Lap Kok, in which a worker received an electric shock while carrying out electrical work on a false ceiling, Hip Seng Builders had been fined HKD 261,000 on 23 January 2025. On the prosecution's application, the court reviewed the sentence and on 21 January 2026 increased the fines to HKD 521,000. The conviction was under the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance and two regulations on construction site and electrical safety.
Electrical work on construction sites requires isolation and testing before work starts; Hong Kong prosecutors actively challenge sentences they consider too lenient.
