New Rules Set by The Hong Kong Labor Department Related How To Clean Out The Outer Window: http://www.liputanbmi.com/baca/1773/aturan-baru-ditetapkan-oleh-departemen-tenaga-kerja-hong-kong-terkait-cara-membersihkan-jendela-luar/4 November 2016

The Hong Kong Labor Department has set new rules to prevent maid casualties while cleaning out the outer windows in high-rise buildings. The new rules include : the cleaned window must be lined, there are people watching when the maid cleans the outside of the window, and there is no body except the arm that is outside the window.

The union representing housemaids welcomed the new measures, but also voiced concern that the new rules are not listed in the old labor contract. Employment agencies said it is very much to ask people to supervise the maid when cleaning windows, it is difficult to monitor if the conditions are met.

Leo Tang Kin-wah, director of the Asian Home Workers Union, said the new measures will be part of the requirements set forth in future employment contract standards for domestic workers. Tang said new measures are only effective in new or renewed contracts, meaning that more than 300.00 domestic workers employed under the old contract will not be protected under the new regulation.
