Environmental, Transport and Works Bureau

Technical Circular (Works) No. 19/2005
Environmental Management on Construction Sites
Purpose
This memo is to revise the Environmental, Transport and Works Bureau

Technical Circular (Works) No. 19/2005 (ETWB TC(W) No. 19/2005) to reflect the
enhancement to the Safety Management System (SMS) for public works contracts
with a view to sustaining the effort on site safety as well as to simplify and
streamline the existing administrative work.
Background
2. The SMS for public works contracts was first developed in 1993. The
SMS was reviewed from time to time with implementation of enhancement measures
(including the introduction of the Pay for Safety Scheme (PFSS) and also the Pay for
Safety and Environment Scheme (PFSES)) to meet the contemporary requirements in
delivering public works contracts.
3. In mid-2015, we conducted a review of the SMS, including PFSS and

PFSES, for public works contracts with the objectives to sustain our effort on site
safety as well as to simplify and streamline the existing initiatives and the
corresponding administrative work. One of the review areas is on the
appropriateness of the items in the Bills for the PFSS/PFSES.
4. After the review, we propose to make the following enhancements, among

others, without compromising site safety. The proposal was endorsed by the Works
Policies Coordination Committee at its meeting held in September 2016.
(a) The PFSES would be renamed as the PFSS.
(b) All environmental related pre-priced payment items from the Bills for the
PFSES would be removed and then combined in an appropriate item to
the Bills for Preliminaries.
Policy
5. All public works contracts, including design and build contracts and term
contracts, the tender of which are issued on or after 20 April 2018 shall implement
the enhancements through incorporation of the following amendments to ETWB
TC(W) No. 19/2005.
(i) In general, construction site safety related provisions should be referred to

the Construction Site Safety Manual (the Manual).
(ii) DEVB’s memo ref. (02LSW-01-1) in DEVB(W) 516/70/03 dated 22

November 2013 regarding the Pay for Safety Performance Merit Scheme
is incorporated in Chapter 12 of the Manual with necessary updating and
hereby superseded.
(iii) References to “Pay for Site Safety and Environment”, “Site Safety and
Environmental Management Committee” and “Site Safety and
Environmental Committee” should be replaced by “Pay for Site Safety”,
“Site Safety Management Committee” and “Site Safety Committee”
respectively. Paragraph 2 of the Interim Guidance Note on
Administration of Environmental Management and PFSES for Public
Works Contracts (issued in June 2006) 1 promulgated by ETWB in
June 2006 is hereby obsoleted.
(iv) Appendix D(a) (Method of Measurement for PFSES) is revised to cover

environmental management measures under Section 1 of the Method of
Measurement (Preliminaries) only. Construction site safety related parts
are incorporated in Appendix VI of Chapter 3 of the Manual.
(v) Appendices E1 to E7 (Sample Bills of Quantities for PFSES) have been

incorporated in Appendices I and II of Chapter 12 of the Manual, and
thereby superseded.
6. The revised Appendix D(a) to ETWB TC(W) No. 19/2005 is enclosed.
Enquiry
7. Any enquiries on the above should be addressed to our Assistant

Secretary (Works Policies) 5.

Pay for Safety Performance Merit Scheme
This memo promulgates the Pay for Safety Performance Merit System
(PFSPMS) in public works contracts as an extension to the existing Pay for Safety and
Environment Scheme (PFSES) and Pay for Safety Scheme (PFSS). The PFSPMS shall
be applicable to all capital works contracts including electrical and mechanical
contracts and Design and Build contracts which adopt PFSS/PFSES and with tenders to
be invited on or after 1 February 2014.
Background
2. Since 1990s, a series of safety measures including the PFSES and PFSS
have been introduced in public works contracts. While the measures have significantly
improved the safety performance of our public works contracts, we have also observed
that some contractors have now become more focused on complying with the processes
rather than performance. In addition, there is no provision to incentivize contractors to
strive for better safety performance under the current PFSES/PFSS.
3. Under the current PFSES/PFSS, there is a separate section in the Bills of

Quantities (BQ) or Schedule of Rates (SOR) entitled ‘Site Safety and Environmental
Management’ (for PFSES) or ‘Site Safety’ (for PFSS). All the items in the BQ or SOR
are pre-priced and the total value of the section shall be about 2% of the estimated
Contract Sum (for contracts with BQ) or total estimated expenditure (for contracts with
SOR) excluding the contingency and provisional sums, as stipulated in the Construction
Site Safety Manual. Contractors are paid if they have completed the respective
task-tied safety items, such as provision and updating of safety plan, attending safety
meetings/walks, and provision of safety trainings, etc. The task-tied payment, however,
is not linked to the safety performance of the contractors.
4. To motivate contractors to strive for better safety performance, the Works
Policies Coordination Committee has approved the introduction of a performance based
payment approach in public works contracts as an extension to the PFSES/PFSS. The
PFSPMS is therefore introduced.
PFSPMS
5. Under the PFSPMS, payment will be made under a set of pre-priced

performance-tied payment items which are measured according to the contractors’
achievements in respect of the safety performance indicators specified in the contract.
The total value of the performance-tied payment items under the PFSPMS shall be
about 1.7% of the estimated Contract Sum or total estimated expenditure as stipulated in
Annex B to the attached Guidelines. The payment for PFSPMS is in addition to that
for PFSES/PFSS.
6. The eight safety performance indicators of the PFSPMS are as follows-
(a) No reportable accident in a month;

(b) No notice of safety or environmental prosecution received in a month;
(c) Compliance of safety training (Silver Card) for workers of specified
trades in a month;
(d) Half-yearly review of safety performance – based on inspection /
improvement / suspension notices received from the Labour Department;
(e) 12-month rolling accident frequency rate for reportable accidents below
0.25 per 100,000 man-hours worked;
(f) Yearly review of safety performance - no fatal accident in a year;
(g) Achievement in safety campaign organized by Development Bureau, (i.e.
Considerate Contractors Site Award Scheme); and
(h) Final review of safety performance – overall safety performance based on
fatal accident and cumulative accident frequency rate for reportable
accidents under the contract (Annex E to the Guidelines).
7. To implement the PFSPMS, we have prepared a set of Guidelines and

relevant contract provisions for inclusion in the tender/contract documents for capital
works contracts. A copy of the Guidelines and contract provisions are enclosed.
8. The PFSPMS for term contracts is under preparation and will be

promulgated in due course.
9. The Guidelines and the contract provisions have been posted on the
DEVB website as an attachment to the ETWB TC(W) No. 19/2005 and incorporated in
the Construction Site Safety Manual Chapter 12. The two documents could be accessed
via the following links: -

Guidelines on the Inclusion of the Pay for Safety Performance Merit
Scheme (PFSPMS) as Extension to the Pay for Safety Scheme (PFSS) and
the Pay for Safety and Environment Scheme (PFSES)
Purpose
These Guidelines set out the policy and procedures to introduce the
PFSPMS in public works contracts, as an extension to the existing PFSS and PFSES
with a view to further uplifting site safety performance in public works contracts.
Scope
2. These Guidelines shall be applicable to all capital works contracts

including electrical and mechanical (E&M) contracts and Design and Build (D&B)
contracts which adopt PFSS or PFSES.
Effective Date
3. These Guidelines shall be applicable to capital works contracts with

tenders to be invited on or after 1 February 2014.
Existing Relevant Circulars
4. These Guidelines should be read in conjunction with the following

circulars:-
(a) Environment, Transport and Works Bureau (ETWB) TCW No. 19/2005
“Environmental Management on Construction Sites” and as amended by
the Interim Guidance Note on Administration of Environmental
Management and Pay for Safety and Environment Scheme for Public
Works Contracts issued by ETWB in June 2006.
(b) The contractual provisions for construction safety and the updating of the
Pay for Safety Scheme given in Chapters 3 and 12 of the Construction
Site Safety Manual (CSSM) promulgated under WBTC No. 30/2000
“Construction Site Safety Manual Second Updating of Chapters 3 and
12”.
(c) ETWB TCW No. 30/2002 “Implementation of Site Safety Cycle and
Provision of Welfare Facilities for Workers at Construction Sites”.
Background
5. Since 1990s, a series of safety measures including the PFSES and PFSS
have been introduced in public works contracts. While the measures have significantly
Page 1 of 46
improved the safety performance of public works contracts, it is observed that some
contractors have now become more focused on complying with the processes rather
than the actual performance. In addition, there is no provision to incentivize
contractors to strive for better safety performance under the current PFSES/PFSS.
6. Under the PFSES/PFSS, there is a separate section in the Bills of

Quantities (BQ) or Schedule of Rates (SOR) entitled ‘Site Safety and Environmental
Management’ (for PFSES) or ‘Site Safety’ (for PFSS) with all the items pre-priced and
the total value of the section is set at about 2% of the estimated Contract Sum or total
estimated expenditure 1 as stipulated in Appendix VII of Chapter 12 of the CSSM.
Contractors are paid if they have completed the respective task-tied safety measures,
such as provision and updating of safety plan, attending site safety committee
meetings/walks, and provision of safety trainings, etc. The task-tied payment,
however, is not linked to the contractors’ safety performance.
7. The PFSPMS, which serves as an incentive scheme to motivate

contractors to strive for better safety performance through a performance based
payment approach, is introduced as an extension to the PFSS/PFSES. Under the
PFSPMS, payment will be made for the performance-tied items which are measured
according to the contractors’ achievements in respect of the designated safety
performance indicators under the contract as shown at Annex A.
Policy
8. Capital works contracts including E&M contracts and D&B contracts

which adopt the existing PFSS or PFSES as per paragraph 12.2.1 in Chapter 12 of the
CSSM or paragraph 11 to 14 of ETWB TCW No. 19/2005 and as amended by the
Interim Guidance Note on Administration of Environmental Management and Pay for
Safety and Environment Scheme for Public Works Contracts issued by ETWB in June
2006 shall also adopt the PFSPMS.
9. Where a capital works contract adopts the PFSS/PFSES and PFSPMS,

the provisions as listed in paragraph 14 below shall be incorporated into the
tender/contract documents.
10. The total value on safety and environmental management items under the
PFSS/PFSES and PFSPMS against the estimated contract sum or total estimated
expenditure is shown in the chart at Annex B.
11. For contracts where a substantial portion of the estimated contract value
is for the supply of equipment, the cost of equipment shall be excluded from the
estimated contract sum or total estimated expenditure for the purpose of determining
the total value of safety and environmental management items under the PFSS/PFSES
and PFSPMS.
1
Unless otherwise specified in the Guidelines, “estimated Contract Sum” is for contracts with BQ and “total
estimated expenditure” is for contracts with SOR. Both exclude the contingency and provisional sums.
Page 2 of 46
12. The total value of the safety and environmental management items
determined in paragraph 10 above shall be distributed between the PFSS/PFSES and
PFSPMS as follows:-
(a) Task-tied payment items under PFSS / PFSES
Estimated contract sum/total 2% of the estimated contract sum or

estimated expenditure from total estimated expenditure
and including $20M, up to
and including $200M
Estimated contract sum/total [$4.0M + (estimated contract sum or

estimated expenditure total estimated expenditure -
exceeding $200M $200M) x 1.0%.]
(b) Performance-tied payment items under PFSPMS
Estimated contract sum/total 1.7% of the estimated contract sum

estimated expenditure from or total estimated expenditure
and including $20M, up to
and including $200M
Estimated contract sum/total [$3.4M + (estimated contract sum or

estimated expenditure total estimated expenditure -
exceeding $200M $200M) x 0.85%.]
13. Where there are practical difficulties in incorporating part or all of the
requirements of these Guidelines under a particular contract, the project office
concerned shall seek the approval of an officer at D2 level or above for full or partial
exemption.
Contract Preparation Stage
Tender/Contract Provisions
14. The project office shall include the following provisions in the
tender/contract documents for the PFSPMS in addition to those for PFSS/PFSES:
(a) A Provisional Sum for PFSPMS with value as per paragraph 12(b) above.
(b) The Notes to Tenderers (NTT) at Annex C.
(c) The Special Conditions of Contract (SCC) at Annex D.
(d) The Measurement Rules (to be included as appendix to the above SCC)
and a section in the Bills of Quantities (BQ) or Schedule of Rates (SOR)
prepared based on the samples at Annex E.
Page 3 of 46
(e) The revised Particular Specifications (PS) on Site Safety at Annex F.
15. As stipulated in the SCC, the payments of the performance-tied items

under the PFSPMS are not subject to retention and adjustment to contract price
fluctuations.
Measurement Period and Pre-priced Rates
16. Unlike the measurement period for the PFSS/PFSES, the measurement
period of the performance-tied payment items of the PFSPMS shall be from the
earliest date of possession of the Site or any portion of the Site by the Contractor to the
date six months after the completion date or extended completion date of the Works.
The purpose of allowing this six-month period after the completion date or extended
completion date of the Works is to encourage contractors to continue to strive for good
safety performance in completing the outstanding works during the maintenance
period.
17. The period for measurement for performance-tied payment items of the
PFSPMS in the BQ or SOR shall include the EOT. Allowance for EOT shall be made
in determining the quantities for the relevant items in the BQ or SOR. It is suggested
that 2 months of EOT shall be allowed for every 12 months of the original contact
period but the project officer shall make his judgement according to the nature of the
contract.
18. No payment shall be made in the first 11 months from the earliest date of
possession of the Site or any portion of the site by the Contractor for the item on the
“12-month rolling accident frequency rate for reportable accidents”.
19. Project office should consider if the pre-priced rates for the performance-
tied payment items of the PFSPMS calculated in accordance with the methodology at
Annex E are appropriate especially for those mega projects with very high contract
values or contracts with very short duration. If considered appropriate, the pre-priced
rates for the performance-tied payment items so calculated can be adjusted to suit the
nature, scope, size, complexity and duration, etc of the contract. All the pre-priced
rates to be adopted in the contract shall be endorsed by an officer of D1 level or above
and such endorsement should be properly documented.
Administration of the PFSPMS in Construction Stage
20. The Contractor shall submit a “Monthly Report on Safety Performance”

(the Monthly Report) to the Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer using a prescribed
proforma (included as “Appendix I to Particular Specifications on Site Safety” at
Annex F to these Guidelines) for the measurement of the performance-tied payment
items. The Monthly Report shall be prepared and signed by the Safety Officer and
Page 4 of 46
endorsed by the Contractor’s Site Agent. The duly signed Monthly Report shall be
submitted to the Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer together with documentary
proof for the performance achievements stated in the Monthly Report.
21. No measurement for the performance-tied payment items shall be made

by the Surveyor/Engineer/Supervising Officer unless the achievements in respect of
the corresponding indicators reported by the Contractor in the Monthly Report has
been agreed by the Architect’s/Engineer’s/Supervising Officer’s Representative.
22. If the Contractor or the Architect’s/Engineer’s/Supervising Officer’s

Representative subsequently considers that amendment(s) to any of the submitted
Monthly Report(s), including those agreed by the Architect/Engineer/Supervising
Officer, is/are required, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to revise and re-submit
the concerned Monthly Report(s) with amendment(s) to the Architect/Engineer/
Supervising Officer for agreement. Previous measurement(s) and payment(s) made to
the Contractor shall be adjusted accordingly.
23. Any accident which is suspected to be a reportable accident shall be

counted as a reportable accident in the Monthly Report in the first place. If the
accident is subsequently confirmed as non-reportable accident by the authority, the
Contractor shall revise and re-submit the concerned Monthly Report(s) to the
Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer and previous measurement(s) and payment(s)
made to the Contractor shall be adjusted in accordance with paragraph 22 above.
24. If there is any mis-reporting of the achievements in respect of the

performance indicators by the Contractor (e.g. late reporting or under reporting of
accidents) in the Monthly Report(s), and if considered appropriate, the
Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer shall reflect the mis-reporting in rating the site
safety section of the Contractor’s Performance Report.
25. The Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer is to note that there will not

be any payment for the performance-tied payment items after the measurement period
(i.e. six months after the completion date or the extended completion date of the
Works).
Accident Frequency Rate and Man-hours Worked
26. The accident frequency rate is calculated as the number of reportable

accidents per 100,000 man-hours worked. Reportable accident means accidents
arising from activities of the Works (including those accidents which happen in Civil
Engineering and Development Department’s sorting facilities) resulting in any person
suffering from death or injury with incapacity for more than three days but excluding
the following types of accidents:-
Page 5 of 46
(a) accident occurred in a site office but was not related to any activity of the
Works;
(b) accident concerning the injury of a government staff;
(c) accident concerning the injury of resident site staff of the HKSAR
Government or its agents including those employed by consultants; and
(d) accident concerning the injury of visitors or the public to the Site and
was not related to any activity of the Works.
27. As a simplified approach for the calculation of accident frequency rate,

the man-hours worked of the general workers and tradesmen can be calculated by
multiplying the man-days worked with the average daily working hours. The average
daily working hours shall be agreed by the Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer.
28. The total man-hours worked in the calculation of accident frequency rate
shall be the sum of the man-hours worked of the general workers, tradesmen and site
management staff employed by the Contractor or the sub-contractors for the Works in
accordance with Chapter 9 of the CSSM and agreed by the
Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer.
29. No additional documentary proof for the man-days worked is required

for the Monthly Report as long as the corresponding man-days worked in the Labour
Relation Officer’s report are referred to and the figure is agreed by the

Notes:
^ The period allowed for the completion of the Works is: for every 12 months of the original
contract period, a 2 months’ period for potential extension of time is added and for the whole
contract period, a six months’ period after the certified completion of the Works is to be added.
E.g. 24 months for original contract period + 2 x 2months for EOT + 6 months after certified
completion = 34 months (or 2.8 years or 5.6 half years). Deduction should be made to the above
allowed period if the earliest date of possession of the Site or Portion(s) of the Site by the
Contractor in accordance with GCC Clause 48(1) is to be later than the date for commencement
of the Works.
^^ The period allowed for the completion of the Works is: for every 12 months of the original
However, as the countable 12-month rolling period does not include the first 11 months from the
earliest date of possession of the Site by the Contractor, the period allowed for this item has to
minus 11 months. E.g. 24 months for original contract period + 2 x 2months + 6 months after
certified completion for EOT – 11 months = 23 months. Deduction should be made to the above
of the Works.
# The CCSA and OEMPA are awards under annual Considerate Contractors Site Award Scheme
(CCSAS) organized by DEVB. An award can be achieved for each calendar year started usually
from the first day of the year to the last day of the year. The proportions of the rates for the gold
award, silver award, bronze award and merit award for CCSA and OEMPA and shown in the
sample Schedule are for reference and should be adjusted by the project officer to suit the
circumstances of the Works.

18** Report on Safety Performance and Payment for Performance-tied Payment Items
(1) The payments on safety cover both the task-tied payment items for the implementation
of stipulated safety measures such as provision and updating of safety plan, attending
safety meetings and safety walks, provision of safety officers and safety training etc.
and the performance-tied payment items which are measured according to the
Contractor’s achievements in the performance indicators such as no reportable
accident in a month, accident frequency rate, no notice of safety and environmental
prosecution, etc. The task-tied payment items are payment items under the Pay for
Safety Scheme (PFSS)** / Pay for Safety and Environment Scheme (PFSES)** and
are listed in Bills of Quantities Bill No. [#]** / Schedule of Rates**. The
performance-tied payment items are payment items under the Pay for Safety
Performance Merit Scheme (PFSPMS) and are listed in the Schedule of Performance-
tied Payment Items of the PFSPMS in Appendix [#] to the Special Conditions of
Contract. Measurement and payment for the performance-tied payment items shall be
in accordance with the Special Conditions of Contract Clause SCC[#]. A Provisional
Sum for the performance-tied payment items payment items under the PFSPMS is
stated in the General Summary in the Bills of Quantities** / Summary of Tender**.
Page 41 of 46
(2) In the performance-tied payment items of the PFSPMS, “reportable accident” means
accidents arising from activities of the Works (including those accidents which happen
in Civil Engineering and Development Department’s sorting facilities)* resulting in
any person suffers death or injury with incapacity for more than three days but
excluding the following types of accidents:-
(a) accident occurred in a site office but was not related to any activity of the
Works;
(b) accident concerning the injury of a government staff;
(c) accident concerning the injury of resident site staff of the HKSAR
Government or its agents including those employed by consultants; and
(d) accident concerning the injury of visitors or the public to the Site and was not
related to any activity of the Works.
(3) The accident frequency rate is calculated as the number of reportable accidents per
100,000 man-hours worked in which:-
(a) wherever appropriate, the rules for counting reportable accidents for accidents
statistics in Section 9.3 in Chapter 9 of Construction Site Safety Manual
published by the Development Bureau shall be followed; and
(b) “man-hours worked” is the man-hours worked by all persons employed by the
Contractor and his sub-contractors who are exposed to risk, including the
Contractor’s site supervisory staff, site agent and engineer(s), workers and
watchmen etc., and the man-hours of Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer’s
site staff are to be excluded.
(4) The Contractor shall submit a “Monthly Report on Safety Performance” (the Monthly
Report) to the Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer* using the prescribed proforma
in Appendix I** of this Particular Specification on the measurement of the
performance-tied payment items of the PFSPMS for each month falling within the
period which commences on the earliest date of possession of the Site and ends on the
date six months after the time for completion of the Works or if the Works are divided
into Sections, the time for completion of the last Section or on an earlier or later date
notified by the Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer* provided that such date shall
not be earlier than the last date of the time for completion of the Works or the last
Section, as the case may be. The first month shall commence on the earliest date of
possession of the Site and end on the last day of the calendar month within which the
earliest date of possession of the Site falls. The second month shall commence on the
first day of the second calendar month and end on the last day of the second calendar
month and the subsequent months shall run in a similar way. The last month shall end
on the date on which the said period ends. The Monthly Report shall be prepared and
signed by the Safety Officer and endorsed by the Site Agent of the Contractor. For the
purposes of this Clause, the terms “calendar month”, “earliest date of possession of the
Site”, “time for completion” and “last Section” shall have the meaning assigned to
those terms in the Measurement Rules for the Performance-tied Payment Items of the
PFSPMS in Appendix [#] to the Special Conditions of Contract.
(5) The Contractor shall submit documentary proof for the performance achievements
stated in the “Monthly Report on the Safety Performance” to the
Architect/Engineer/Supervising Officer*.
(6) No measurement and payment on the performance-tied payment items shall be

NOTICE
This technical circular has been partially updated by the Interim Guidance
Note on Administration of Environmental Management and Pay for Safety
and Environment Scheme for Public Works Contracts. The Appendices to the
technical circular should be replaced by the Appendices to the Interim
Guidance Note.
The order within this file is therefore as follows:
1) Interim Guidance Note on Administration of Environmental

Management and Pay for Safety and Environment Scheme for Public
Works Contracts.
2) The main text (excluding the Appendices) of the original ETWB TCW
No. 19/2005 (for reference).
3) Revised Appendices to the technical circular as promulgated by the

Interim Guidance Note.
_______________________
Interim Guidance Note on Administration of
Environmental Management and Pay for
Safety and Environment Scheme for Public Works Contracts
Introduction
This interim note sets out further guidance on the application of ETWB
TCW No. 19/2005. The note has incorporated recent feedback from the construction
industry, EPD and works departments, and the resulting modifications to ETWB TCW
No. 19/2005 are summarized below:
a) The Circular shall be applicable to capital works contracts (including

Design & Build contacts and E&M contracts, with contract sum ≥ $20M
and contract period > 6 months), and hence all references to term
contracts shall become obsolete.
b) Appendices A to F of the Circular shall be replaced by the corresponding

appendices attached to this note.
c) The Circular as modified by this note shall be applicable to tenders of

capital works contracts, invited on or after 1 August 2006.
d) References to sample clauses in the Appendices in the Circular should be

read in conjunction with the modified Appendices attached to this note.
e) The following paragraphs in the Circular shall become obsolete:

i) ‘Pay for Environment’ - paragraphs 18 to 21; and
ii) ‘Provision of information to contractor’ - paragraph 26.
f) The “pay for safety and environment scheme” has incorporated provisions
requiring that all trucks used for the transportation of C&D materials to and
from the Site shall be fitted with mechanical covers. Notwithstanding this,
the Architect/Engineer may, but not obliged to, waive such requirement on
specific trucks if the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Architect/Engineer that it is not practical to install the mechanical covers on
such trucks. In the event the Architect/Engineer grants the waiver, the
Contractor shall implement measurements stipulated in WBTC No. 18/99 to
ensure that the C&D materials being transported are properly and securely
covered.
Page 1 of 2
Construction Site Safety Manual (CSSM)
2. To implement the “Pay for Safety and Environment Scheme”, the following
amendments should be made to the CSSM promulgated under WBTC No. 30/2000 for
capital works contracts:
a) Under the Special Conditions of Contract for works contracts with safety
plan requirement (see Appendix II(a), Chapter 3 of CSSM), references to
“Payment for Site Safety” and “site safety section” should be replaced by
“Payment for Site Safety and Environment” and “site safety and
environment section” respectively.
b) In Chapter 12 of CSSM, references to “Site Safety Management

Committee” and “Site Safety Committee” should be replaced by “Site
Safety and Environmental Management Committee” and “Site Safety and
Environmental Committee” respectively.
c) Notwithstanding expanding the scope of the “pay for safety” scheme to

cover environmental management, the total cost of the pre-priced items
under the expanded “Pay for Safety and Environment Scheme” should tally
with the percentage as stated in clause 12.2.2 in the Chapter 12 of CSSM,
and the assessment basis therein shall apply.

Scope
This Circular sets out the policy and procedures requiring contractors to:
(a) prepare and implement an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) in all

public works contracts, which comprises -
(i) the abatement of environmental nuisances on construction sites

including air, noise and wastewater pollution;
(ii) the reduction of construction and demolition (C&D)1 materials to be

disposed of during the course of construction (such requirements have
been stipulated in ETWB TCW No. 15/2003, which has now been
incorporated into the EMP under this Circular);
(b) adopt unified standards on environmental nuisance abatement measures such

as the mechanical dump truck covers, automatic wheel washing system,
quality powered mechanical equipment (QPME)2, dust/acoustic screens or
1
C&D materials mean both inert and non-inert C&D materials. The inert portion is the "inert C&D materials"
including soil, building debris, broken rock, concrete etc., and the non-inert portion is the "C&D wastes"
comprising timber, paper, plastics, general refuse etc.
2
QPME are constructional plant and equipment that are notably quieter, more environmentally friendly and
efficient. The list of the types and models of plant or equipment accepted by Environmental Protection
Department (EPD) as QPME can be viewed on the EPD’s website at http://www.epd.gov.hk, via “Noise >
Quality Powered Mechanical Equipment (QPME) > QPME Table”. EPD has also developed a system for the
registration of QPME that are used in Hong Kong. A label will be issued by EPD for those plant and
equipment that have been registered under the system.
ETWB TCW No. 19/2005 Page 1 of 12

enclosures, wastewater treatment facilities etc., for specified processes or
works; and
(c) expand the Pay for Safety and Environment Scheme (PFSES) to cover
environmental nuisances.
Effective Date
2. The requirements of this Circular shall be applicable to all public works

contracts, including capital works contracts, electrical and mechanical (E&M)
contracts, Design and Build (D&B) contracts and term contracts for which tenders are
invited on or after 16 January 2006.

5. Furthermore, the contractual provisions for “Site Safety” are given in

Chapters 3 and 12 of the Construction Site Safety Manual promulgated under WBTC
30/2000.
Background
6. Government has been very cautious about the management of C&D materials
from construction projects due to lack of public fill and landfill space in Hong Kong.
Since November 2000, public works contractors have been required to take concrete
steps to reduce the generation of C&D materials at construction sites through the
requirement of a waste management plan (WMP) under WBTC No. 29/2000. In
addition, guidelines were issued under ETWB TCW No. 33/2002 requiring project
offices to minimize generation of C&D materials at the outset during the planning and
design stages of a project.
7. ETWB TCW No. 15/2003 called for strengthening the requirements on WMP
in terms of enforcement of implementation, site monitoring and control, and inclusion
for measurement of the contractor’s performance on waste management into the
framework of the then “Pay for Safety Scheme” by extending the scheme as the PFSES.
8. This Circular aims at extending the concept of waste management on public

works construction sites further to environmental management, targeted at those
nuisances relating to air (smoke and dust), noise and wastewater pollution. WMP
becomes part of the EMP.
9. There is also a need to unify the standards and payment methods on specific
environmental nuisance abatement measures, such as mechanical dump truck covers,
automatic wheel washing system, QPME, dust/acoustic screens or enclosures,
wastewater treatment facilities etc., so as to avoid the unnecessary contractual dispute.
Where such provisions are specified, separate items shall be provided in the Bills of
Quantities to be priced by the contractors in tendering.
10. Previously, the requirement of waste management was applicable to capital

works contracts only. Under this Circular, the requirements of environmental
management covering both nuisance abatement and waste management shall be applied
to all public works contracts including capital works contracts and term contracts.

Policy
11. As a general rule, capital works contracts including E&M contracts and D&B
contracts having an estimated contract sum of $20M or more (or a smaller contract sum
as set by individual departments), or term contracts having a total estimated expenditure
of $50M or more (or minor works term contracts with a smaller total estimated
expenditure as set by individual departments), for which tenders are invited on or after
16 January 2006 shall be included under PFSES. For contracts with a substantial
portion of their value as E&M equipment, the cost of such equipment (including those
in the form of provisional sums) shall be excluded from the estimated contract sum in
determining whether they should be included under PFSES. Irrespective of the value of
the contract, contracts with duration of 6 months (previously set at 12 months for the
“Pay for Safety Scheme”) or less can be exempted from inclusion under PFSES.
12. Where a public works contract (including capital works contracts and term
contracts) is included under PFSES, the standard terms and clauses as set out in
paragraph 15 below shall be incorporated in their tender documents.
13. Where there are practical difficulties in incorporating part or all of the
requirements in this Circular in a contract, the project officer concerned shall seek the
approval of an appropriate D2 officer or above of his department for full or partial
exemption.
14. Notwithstanding that a contract may have been exempted fully or partly from
the requirements of EMP under paragraphs 11 and 12 above, certain minimum
environmental measures as set out in Appendix F shall still be required.
Procedures
15. The project office should include the following provisions in all PFSES
contracts:
(a) the Special Condition of Tender (SCT) at Appendix A requiring the contractor
to submit an outline EMP for tender assessment;
(b) the Special Condition of Contract (SCC) at Appendix B requiring the

contractor to submit and finalize the EMP within the periods prescribed;
(c) the Particular Specification (PS) at Appendix C setting out the detailed
requirements for environmental management on construction sites (N.B. For
“designated” projects under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance
(EIAO), the project office should additionally incorporate in the PS other
relevant requirements/conditions as set out in the Environmental Permit); and

(d) the Method of Measurement (MoM) and the Bills of Quantities (BQ)/
Schedule of Rates (SoR) developed based on the samples at Appendices D and
E respectively for environmental management measures. (N.B. Both
Appendices D & E cover the whole PFSES including site safety and
environmental management.)
16. To facilitate implementation of EMP, the project office should, at the early
planning and design stages, take into consideration the space requirement for the
environmental provisions, e.g. on-site sorting and temporary storage of C&D materials,
automatic wheel washing machine, wastewater treatment facilities etc.
17. For non-PFSES contracts or contracts exempted from the full requirements of
EMP, the project office should incorporate the following for basic environmental
measures and monitor their compliance:
(a) SCC X2 from Appendix B;
(b) PS at Appendix F;
(c) MoM clauses yy. 37 to 40 at Appendix D(c) for capital works contracts, or
MoM clauses yy. 25 to 27 at Appendix D(d) for term contracts; and
(d) Item (O) of the sample BQ in Appendix E9 for capital works contracts, or
item (I) of the sample SOR in Appendix E10 for term contracts.
[Items (a), (c) and (d) are specifically for monitoring the use of ultra low sulphur
diesel (ULSD) in public works contracts.]
Pay for Environment
18. As mentioned in para. 15(d), the MoM and BQ/SoR set out in Appendices D
and E respectively cover both the “pay for safety” and the “pay for environment”. The
part on “pay for environment” in each of the MoM and the BQ/SoR, is broadly divided
into two parts:
(a) “Pay for environmental management” - which is part of the PFSES as

described in paragraph 19. The sample MoM given at Appendices D(a) and
D(b) for capital works contracts and term contracts respectively, and the
sample BQ/SoR given at Appendices E1 to E8 are relevant for reference for
contract document preparation. The items for their payment are preset and
pre-priced.
(b) “Pay for environmental measures” - which is to cover for the physical
measures on nuisance abatement and waste management as described in
paragraph 20. The sample MoM given at Appendices D(c) and D(d), and the

sample BQ/SoR given at Appendices E9 and E10 for capital works contracts
and term contracts respectively are relevant for reference for contract
document preparation. Provisions for such measures are to be priced by
tenderers on a competitive basis. Where additional measure(s) is/are
considered necessary, project office can create item(s) in the MoM and
BQ/SoR for their payment. In doing so, particular consideration should be
given to their possible impact on the project budget and contract
administration.
Pay for Environmental Management
19. ETWB TCW No. 15/2003 introduced PFSES to cover waste management for
capital works contracts. The scheme is now expanded to environmental management
absorbing waste management into it and includes term contracts. The purpose of PFSES
is to encourage contractors to put in more effort on environmental management and to
facilitate monitoring and control of their performance. The following items are included
in the MoM and sample BQ/SoR for PFSES:
(a) complete an EMP;

(b) update the EMP periodically as specified;
(c) introduce an item into the agenda for the Site Safety and Environmental
Management Committee (SSEMC) meeting and the Site Safety and
Environmental Committee (SSEC) meeting for discussion on environmental
issues of the Site;
(d) arrange and attend weekly environmental walk; and
(e) expand site-specific induction training and toolbox talks to cover
environmental topics.
More details about the requirements for items (b) to (e) are given in paragraphs 22, 23
and 32 below.
Pay for Environmental Measures
20. For capital works contracts, payment as measured items for the following
environmental measures on nuisance abatement and waste management is covered in
the model MoM and sample BQ/SoR.
Air Pollution Control

(a)* Providing covering/containment for dusty material
(b)* Providing screens/enclosures for smoky/dusty activities
(c) Compacting road surfaces
(d) Providing automatic water spraying system
(e) Providing automatic wheel washing system
(f) Providing mechanical covers for dump trucks
(g) Providing vacuum cleaners for dusty operations

Noise Pollution Control
(h)* Use of “quality powered mechanical equipment (QPME)”
(i)* Providing acoustic screens/enclosures
Wastewater Pollution Control

(j)* Providing measures to prevent ingress of surface run-off into Site
(k) Providing wastewater collection system
(l)* Arranging disposal of sewage by a licensed contractor
(m) Providing wastewater treatment facilities
Waste Management
(n)* arranging and conducting on-site sorting of construction and demolition
(C&D) materials.
[N.B. Items marked with “*” are mandatory items to be provided by the contractors.
Their requirement are all specified in the PS at Appendix C and project officer should
delete those items that are not appropriate to his contract.]
21. For term contracts, the requirements for environmental measures are different
from those for the capital works contracts, where many of the large scale plants and
equipment for dust suppression and wastewater treatment are not applicable.
Furthermore, the method and the unit of measurements for some of the environmental
measures are also different between the two contract types. To facilitate preparation of
contract documents, the following measures are covered in the model MoM and sample
BQ/SoR for term contracts.
Air Pollution Control

(a) Providing covering/containment for dusty material
(b) Providing screens/enclosures for smoky/dusty activities
(c) Providing vacuum cleaners for dusty operations
Noise Pollution Control

(d) Use of QPME
(e) Providing acoustic screens/enclosures
Wastewater Pollution Control

(f) Providing measures to prevent ingress of surface run-off into Site
Waste Management
(g) Sorting and delivering of hard rock and broken concrete to designated location
(h) Sorting and proper disposal of paper and cardboard packaging

Performance Monitoring
22. The contractor’s environmental performance is monitored and controlled

through the weekly environmental walks, SSEMC meetings and SSEC meetings under
PFSES. The items to be discussed in every SSEMC meeting shall include:
(a) a review of the EMP in particular the suitability of the environmental

measures on nuisance abatement and waste management adopted by the
contractor;
(b) the environmental performance of the contractor and his sub-contractors;
(c) the effectiveness of the environmental measures on nuisance abatement and

waste management implemented on the site, and any complaints received; and
(d) the promptness of rectification or improvement actions of the contractor on

the defects and deficiencies identified during inspections of the site.
23. The weekly environmental walks provide one good means for assessing the
contractor’s environmental performance. To monitor this, due regards should be given
to the effectiveness of the environmental measures on nuisance abatement and waste
management of the contractor, such as the provision of adequate resources, space and
the performance of the facilities on site. Any defects or irregularities observed in the
inspections should be pointed out promptly to the contractor for rectification or
improvement. Payment of the BQ/SoR item for “arrange and attend weekly
environmental walk” under PFSES shall be made to the contractor subject to the
following conditions:
(a) the contractor’s environmental performance in the weekly environmental

walk is to the satisfaction of the Architect/Engineer/Supervising
Officer/Maintenance Surveyor (hereinafter referred to as the “A/E”) and his
delegate;
(b) the defects and deficiencies identified in the weekly environmental walk are
rectified to the satisfaction of A/E and his delegate within the agreed time; and
(c) no commitment of environmental related offences intended to be prosecuted

by or receipt of abatement notices from EPD within the week.
24. Irrespective of whether the contract is included under PFSES, or one which
Appendix F applies, if the environmental performance of a contractor is not
satisfactory, he should be verbally warned immediately at the first opportunity arising
by the A/E or his Representative, including during and after the weekly environmental
walk. If the contractor’s performance is not improved promptly, the A/E shall issue a
written warning to urge the contractor for prompt improvement actions. If the

contractor has exhibited consistently poor environmental performance, the A/E should
consider giving the contractor a “Poor” rating in Section 4 (Environmental Pollution
Control) of the Report on Contractor’s Performance, which will automatically result in
an adverse report in the overall. Further guidelines and procedures for taking regulating
action against poor performance contractors are given in Section 5 of the Contractor
Management Handbook.
25. Subject to the agreement of the A/E, the assessment of the contractor’s safety
performance and environmental performance for a week can be made in one weekly
inspection, notwithstanding that there are separate payment items under the PFSES to
allow for the contractor’s performance on safety and environment to be each assessed
independently.
Provision of Information to Contractor
26. To facilitate the contractor in drawing up his EMP on the part about waste
management for capital works contracts, the project office will provide additional
relevant information to the contractor for his reference, which should be stated as not
forming part of the contract, preferably within 14 days of the date of the Employer’s
letter of acceptance of the Tender. Such information may include the following:
(a) measures to be taken at the construction stage to minimize the C&D material
generation;
(b) arrangements for proper disposal of C&D materials at designated outlets; and
(c) the estimated quantity of inert C&D materials for reuse on site or for
recycling, and the estimated amount of surplus inert C&D materials requiring
disposal off site.
Alternative Design Proposal by Contractor
27. Where alternative designs for the works are invited, the project office should
consult the Secretary of the Public Fill Committee (PFC) at an early stage prior to
tendering, and specify the minimum conditions on waste management in the tender
document, so as to ensure that the situation on C&D materials would not be adversely
affected by the alternative design proposed by the contractor.
Record of Generated Wastes
28. As part of the EMP on waste management, the contractor should establish a
mechanism to record the quantities of C&D materials generated each month and report

the quantities to the A/E’s Representative on a monthly basis, using the “Monthly
Summary Waste Flow Table” as given in Annex 5 to Appendix C. In addition, the
contractor should provide the estimated quantities of C&D materials that will be
generated each year from the site, using the “Yearly Summary Waste Flow Table”
which is also given in Annex 5. The contractor should include the yearly summary table
covering the whole construction period in the EMP, and thereafter update the summary
table on a half-yearly basis and submit it to the Architect/Engineer’s Representative by
not later than the 10th of June and December of each year throughout the construction
period, in order to account for the revised works programme and latest outturn on the
quantities of C&D materials generated from the site.
29. The contractor shall also set up a disposal recording system as part of the EMP
by adopting the trip-ticket system as stipulated in WBTC No. 31/2004, for ensuring the
proper disposal of C&D materials to designated outlets.
30. Information returned by the contractor in the Monthly Summary Waste Flow
Table and Yearly Summary Waste Flow Table (including semi-annual updates thereon)
shall be collected and collated by each works department. Works Department shall
assign staff to input the data into the “PWP Construction Site Safety & Environmental
Statistics” (“PCSES”) System of ETWB via the internet interface at
https://pcses.wgi.etwb.hksarg/User/Login.pl. ETWB will coordinate with the
Departmental Safety and Environmental Advisors to monitor the returns from the
contractors.
31. ETWB will, by making use of the data in the PCSES, prepare an annual report
on the statistics and analyses of C&D materials for public works contracts for
circulation to works departments.
Training
32. The contractor should develop site-specific induction training and toolbox
talks to cover:
(a) environmental nuisance abatement on construction sites with respect to air,

noise and wastewater pollution control; and
(b) waste management measures in particular on-site sorting of C&D materials to

promote awareness of workers in handling, sorting, reuse and recycling of
C&D materials.
33. Other requirements on providing environmental training for the contractor’s

managerial and supervisory staff are also specified in the PS.

Auditing
34. Implementation of the environmental management requirements as set out in

paragraphs 15 to 17 of this Circular should be included in the technical audit carried out
by works departments in accordance with WBTC No. 15/2002.
Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD)
35. To improve the local air quality by curbing the emission of sulphur dioxide, all
constructional plant powered by diesel fuel and operating on public works construction
sites must use ULSD. ULSD is defined in Schedule 1 of the Air Pollution Control
(Motor Vehicle Fuel) Regulation). Such requirement shall be stipulated in all contracts
for which tenders are to be invited on or after 16 January 2006.
36. The contractor shall maintain a summary record of ULSD delivered to the
site(s), including those ordered by his sub-contractors, together with the details of
consumption of such fuel by individual constructional plant on the site and the date of
arrival and departure of the constructional plant to and from the site. The record of fuel
deliveries should be supported by the original receipts of the delivery notes of the oil
companies. The summary record and the delivery notes shall be kept in the site office
for ready inspection by A/E or his site supervisory staff upon request.
37. To ensure compliance, A/E or his Representative is empowered to take fuel

samples from any constructional plant, fuel tank and/or container on site, and at any
time for examination by a HOKLAS certified laboratory. To avoid unnecessary dispute,
the contractor should advise A/E or his Representative whether the fuel samples to be
taken from a plant, fuel tank and/or container on the site have been replenished with
ULSD, or that the plant, fuel tank and/or container has been brought to the site recently
according to the summary record maintained pursuant to para. 36 above. The name of
the laboratory for carrying out the examination should be proposed by the contractor
and agreed by A/E. An item is stipulated in the model MoM and the sample BQ/SoR in
Appendices D and E respectively for the arrangement and examination of the test
samples.
38. If the examination result proves that the fuel sample is ULSD, then the cost of
the arrangement and examination of the test samples will be paid for by the Employer
under the respective item in the MoM and BQ/SoR. Otherwise, the contractor shall bear
the cost of the examination, forfeit the payment for the weekly environmental walk for
the relevant week (not applicable if the contract is a non-PFSES contract), and receive a
written warning from A/E for the non-compliance. If non-compliance is repeated after
the issue of the warning, the contractor shall receive a “Poor” rating in Section 4
(Environmental Pollution Control) of the Report on Contractor’s Performance, which
will automatically result in an adverse report in the overall. Relevant contract clauses
are included in the sample SCC in Appendix B, and PS in Appendices C or F.
