2022.11.04 – 丙類保安工作的最高年齡限制由55 歲提升至60 歲
由2022年11月4日開始，丙類保安工作(須攜帶槍械彈藥執行的護衞工作)的最高年齡限制已經由55歲提升至60歲。(政府憲報6317)
請參閱：保安及護衞業管理委員會 (SGSIA ) - 簽發保安人員許可證準則 https://www.sb.gov.hk/chi/links/sgsia/pdffile/GN%20-%20Criteria%20for%20Security%20Personnel%20Permit%20(Chi).pdf

2022.11.04 – upper age limit for Cat C security work raised from 55 to 60
Starting from 4 Nov 2022, the upper age limit for Cat C security work (guarding work, the performance of which requires the carrying of arms and ammunition) has been raised from 55 to 60. (G.N. 6317)
Please refer to: SGSIA - Criteria for Issuing a Security Personnel Permit https://www.sb.gov.hk/eng/links/sgsia/pdf/GN%20-%20Criteria%20for%20Security%20Personnel%20Permit%20(Eng).pdf
於2022年11月18日, Mr. Johnny HO, 「保安業商會」會長及「香港保安學會」行政總裁, 出席亞洲安防會議(https://www.build4asia.com/events/asiansecuritex-conference/) 並成為其中一名講者。 他談及香港保安業在制訂保安業資歷架構方面的工作，並講解保安從業人員可如何透過「過往資歷認可機制」，無須重新接受培訓，根據他們在工作場所獲得的經驗和能力而取得資歷架構認可資格。
On 18 November 2022, Mr. Johnny HO, Chairman of the Chamber of Security Industry and CEO of HKIOS, was one of the speakers at the Asian Securitex Conference (https://www.build4asia.com/events/asiansecuritex-conference/). He talked about the work of the Hong Kong security industry in developing the Qualifications Framework for Security Services and explained the process for security practitioners to obtain QF-recognized qualifications based on their experiences and competencies acquired in the workplace under the Recognition of Prior Learning mechanism without undergoing training.
轉眼間已到2022年的最後一天，又是回顧過去，展望將來的時刻。
過去一年，香港保安業發生了兩宗與職安健相關的死亡事故，包括:
(一) 8月份，一名保安員在一間健康中心的入口處以手動形式關閉一道機動横向滑動式金屬閘門時，被一扇倒下的閘門壓斃。詳情可參閱勞工處給東主／僱主發出的職安警示及參考資料（https://www.labour.gov.hk/.../WSA_Pressed_by_a_Toppled...）
(二) 10月份，一名保安員在執行保安巡邏時，從一幢住宅樓宇 5 樓的平台墮下 至地面身亡。詳情可參閱勞工處給東主／僱主發出的職安警示及參考資料(https://www.labour.gov.hk/.../WSA_Fall_from_height_TC.pdf)
操作閘門及巡邏都是保安日常工作，前線保安人員對工作地點的職安健意識固然重要，同樣重要的是保安管理人員對自身的職安健責任的認識，包括做好風險評估，採取足夠的安全措施及為前線人員提供適當的指示及培訓等。
寄望來年大家身心康泰，事業進步！
Penny Fung, 培訓及專業發展總監
2022年12月31日
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of 2022. Let me take this chance to look back on the past and look forward to the future.
In the past year, two tragic events occurred in the security industry, both of which involved OSH-related fatalities. They include:
(1) In August, a security guard was pressed to death by a toppled leaf of a gate when she was closing the power-driven metal horizontal sliding gate manually at the entrance of a health center. For details, please refer to the Work Safety Alert issued by the Labor Department to proprietors/employers (https://www.labour.gov.hk/.../WSA_Pressed_by_a_Toppled...)
(2) In October, a security guard plunged to death from the flat roof on 5/F of a residential building onto the ground floor while conducting security patrol. For details, please refer to the Work Safety Alert issued by the Labor Department to proprietors/employers and related reference materials (https://www.labour.gov.hk/.../WSA_Fall_from_height_EN.pdf)
Operating gates and conducting security patrols are day-to-day security tasks. While it is important for security personnel in the frontline to be aware of safety and health at work, it is equally important for security personnel at the management level to be aware of their occupational safety and health responsibilities, which include conducting risk assessment, putting in place safety measures, and providing adequate instruction and training to frontline security personnel.
Wishing you safety and health, and prosperity in the coming year!
Penny Fung, Director of Training and Professional Development

The Legislative Council passed the Occupational Safety and Occupational Health Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2022 (“Bill”) on 19 April 2023 to overall increase the maximum penalties for occupational safety and health (“OSH”) offences in order to enhance their deterrent effect. Please refer to this Labour Department webpage to review the key amendments introduced by the Amendment Ordinance: https://www.labour.gov.hk/eng/news/Amendment_Ordinance.htm
According to the conviction records in the previous two years published by the Labour Department (https://www.labour.gov.hk/common/osh/pdf/Conviction_record_en.pdf), in April 2023, Thorn Security (Hong Kong) Limited was convicted of an offence of “Failing to ensure workman wearing suitable safety helmet” and fined $6,000.
According to various media reports, the Labour Department has completed its investigation in March this year into the incident at a Maternal and Child Health Centre in Yau Ma Tei on August 15 last year, in which a female security guard was pressed by a toppled leaf of the gate and died. Wise Security Limited, the employer of the female security guard, was summonsed for an offence of “Failing to ensure the safety and health of employees” while four other occupiers were also summonsed. The case is still under trial. (Case reference: KTS 3046-3050/2023).
立法會於2023年4月19日通過《2022年職業安全及職業健康法例（雜項修訂）條例草案》，旨在整體提高職業安全及健康（職安健）罪行最高罰則，以加強阻嚇作用。請參考此勞工處網頁查看主要的修訂內容：https://www.labour.gov.hk/tc/news/Amendment_Ordinance.htm
根據勞工處過往兩年的定罪記錄(https://www.labour.gov.hk/common/osh/pdf/Conviction_record_en.pdf), 2023年4月 Thorn Security (Hong Kong) Limited 被定罪 “Failing to ensure workman wearing suitable safety helmet”及罰款$6000。
而根據各媒體的新聞報導，去年8月15日油麻地母嬰健康院發生鐵閘倒塌事故意外導致一名43歲女保安被壓中身亡事故，勞工處已於今年三月份完成調查，並票控其僱主威智護衛有限公司「沒有確保僱員的安全及健康」，還有其他四個相關的處所佔用人亦被票控，案件尚在審理中（案件編號：KTS 3046- 3050/ 2023）。

未來一年，不少機構會尋求優化IT與實體保安團隊之間的協作。這兩個寶貴技術的連結，會讓機構更有效地應對風險和最大化利用機構的整體數據。儘管沒有一刀切的方法，大多數人都會考慮以下的策略：
- 實體保安的領導者會擴展其部門的IT專業能力
- 保安運作的功能將會擴大，以便應對實體保安風險和利用來自兩個群體的數據
- IT團隊亦會引入實體保安，並開始負上監督實體保安任務
隨著這些以人為本的整合的不斷發展，對統一系統和雲端連結的實體保安解決方案的需求亦會隨之增長。這將會幫助團隊全面了解系統和不斷變化的風險，同時幫助他們從數據中提取更多有用的訊息。

實體保安數據民主化將加速
實體保安數據民主化正在進行中。與過往相比，愈來愈多雇員需要接觸實體保安技術和數據。Genetec的2024年實體保安趨勢研究報告指出，近40%的機構仍面臨實體保安勞動力短缺問題。對特定任務或資訊存取的把關只會加劇資源的壓力。
隨著數位時代雇員角色的轉變，機構將尋求更具協作性的實體保安技術。它們需要更容易使用的解決方案，並且能支援保安部門以外的人員安全及有限度的使用。
這帶來的現象，將包括：犯罪現場的目擊者能夠安全地將其手機的錄影共享到中央證據貯存庫或團隊負責人監督與其部門相關的存取請求。
對許多機構來說，這將會增強整個企業的勞動力，亦會幫助它們擴大保安投資的價值和應用範圍。

出入管制現代化將成為最重要的技術投資
出入管制現代化仍將是各機構於2024年的首要任務。為了減輕系統升級的複雜性，不少機構將轉向採用混合雲端模式及雲端就緒的出入口管制解決方案。這將帶來持續的創新和網絡安全更新，從而加強從門到網絡的安全。
我們亦將看到對開放出入管制解決方案的更大需求。比過往任何時候，各機構都更希望能夠自由地添加和連接現有的最新技術。到2024年，這將包括從物業管理系統、生命和安全解決方案到人力資源管理軟體和行動憑證等等。
將出入管制與這些不同的技術相結合，可以提高營運效率和持續發展的主動性。亦會讓雇主增進持卡人的體驗，尤其是對流暢和方便的感覺。
很多人將捨棄單獨管理錄影和出入口管理系統。為了提高效率，領導者將採取行動實現系統統一。這將簡化系統監控和維護任務，從而提高企業產能並節省成本。

機構將尋求最大化混合雲投資出入管制現代化將成為最重要的技術投資
到2024年，實體保安業對混合雲的採用將大幅增加。最近的研究發現，44%的機構已經在超過四分之一的實體保安部署了雲端或混合雲環境。
隨著雲端採用率的上升，人們對新的即插即用、雲端就緒設備愈來愈感興趣。它們不單只讓採用雲端服務更容易，還增強了邊緣的運算能力。
我們也將看到人們對雲端數據的使用和相關成本的關注。那些已經採用了混合雲的人們正在尋求從雲端支出得到最大回報的方案。很多人將依靠渠道合作夥伴以探索保安以外的用例，最大限度地提高混合雲的投資回報。

城市將專注於建立公眾信任
近年，警察部門一直在努力招募和留住警員。為了解決這個問題，許多城市正在投資新的打擊犯罪技術。從車輛調查系統和態勢感知平台到無人機和可穿戴設備，全部都使有助於提高公共安全部門的效率。
隨著科技的使用在城市中擴展，公共穩私問題也隨之增加。2024年，我們將看到城市越來越致力於建立更多公眾信任並加強穩私保護工作。以下的核心策略將有幫助：
- 選擇採用以穩私為本而設計的解決方案，以便能更佳地控制所收集、處理和共享的數據。
- 與值得信賴的技術供應商合作，確保優化所有防線並強化系統。
- 採取更透明的措施來保護資訊，並分享新科技投資如何增強社區安全的指標。
- 創建合作夥伴計劃讓公民呈報事故、提供回饋和參與社區警務工作。

IIoT（Industrial Internet of Things 工業物聯網）成長和數據優化解決方案將蓬勃發展
進入市場的實體保安設備和其他工業物聯網感測器的數量正在增加，但仍未能滿足各個行業的機構的需要。IT和保安專家希望擴展其保安部署的數據類型。此外，他們亦希望從貯存系統中抽取數據，並建立數據湖以服務未來的目標。
在這關鍵時刻，選擇以API為中心及開放架構的統一實體保安平台的人將隨著時間的推移獲得最大收益。他們可以就著自身條件靈活地組合和同時分析不同來源的數據。最終，這能夠為新的數據驅動策略提供信息，並最大限度地提高所有科技投資的回報。
在數據湧現期間，許多機構還須尋找方法來增強操作員的能力，並將當前的工作流程數位化。因此，付帶嵌入式分析、自動化工具和視覺儀表板的實體保安解決方案的需求將會增加。

機構將側重政府批準的解決方案
據IBM稱，2023年的每宗數據外洩事故的平均成本為445萬美元。當中只有三分之一的公司是透過內部保安團隊來識別漏洞。
據IBM稱，2023年的每宗數據外洩事故的平均成本為445萬美元。當中只有三分之一的公司是透過內部保安團隊來識別漏洞。
進入2024年，許多機構將依照政府指示和認證來作出技術決策並審查其供應鏈。這將增加對政府批準、高度合規的實體保安解決方案的需求。
目前，最嚴格的數據保護要求適用於政府機構和基本服務。其他機構亦正在密切關注中。
透過採用類似的策略和解決方案，機構將可使用最先進的工具，更快捷地識別和遏制威脅。亦可透過向合作夥伴和客戶展示認真對待網絡安全來證明其可信度。同時，還可以增強機構的抗壓和業務延續能力。
