Vincent Fung, JP

Vincent joined the HKSAR Government in 1989. For over three decades he has served in various positions, from policy work relating to insurance, aviation, tourism etc. to administrative head in one of the 18 districts in Hong Kong. He received a Chief Executive’s Commendation for Public Service in Hong Kong for his bravery service in Wuhan when the COVID pandemic broke out in 2020.
Vincent is currently Deputy Commissioner for Labour, taking charge of all Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) related matters in Hong Kong. He leads a team of some 700 professional and supporting staff to carry out enforcement, publicity and education/training work to enhance OSH in the city.

My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

The overall sustainability of Hong Kong relies heavily on the occupational safety and health of its employees in their workplaces. While Hong Kong’s occupational safety and health performance is improving over the past few decades, I would like to see the work safety and health culture across Hong Kong can be further enhanced. By emphasizing education about safety practices, promoting awareness, and enforcing regulations, we can foster a stronger safety and health culture. I would also like to see the widespread adoption of automation and smart monitoring systems in Hong Kong. These technologies not only enhance employee well-being but also create a safer, healthier and more comfortable work environment.
