香港专家称致命火灾后建筑改革承诺不足

在Tai Po一场致命火灾造成168人丧生后,香港政府提出加强建筑维护的新措施。然而,专家认为这些承诺仅触及表面,无法解决建筑行业的深层系统性问题。

11月,Tai Po的Wang Fuk Court补贴住房地产在翻新工程中发生大火,造成168人死亡,这是香港七十年来的最严重火灾事件。火灾暴露了建筑行业长期存在的政策漏洞和系统问题。

周三,在年度首次立法会会议上,官员们公布了一系列提案,包括要求寻求合同的服务提供商接受警方和廉政公署(ICAC)的背景审查,以及犯罪和纪律记录筛查,以获得政府平台资格。这些措施旨在填补政策空白并解决火灾所暴露的顽疾。

尽管行业领袖承认这些措施是正确方向的一步,但他们警告说“魔鬼藏在细节中”,因为政府的提案目前仅为框架,缺乏具体内容。立法会议员兼城市规划师Andrew Lam Siu-lo表示:“拟议的筛选程序必须指定哪些犯罪和纪律记录将被考虑,以及是否包括未达刑事犯罪的专业不当行为。”

专家和行业人士认为,需要更深入的系统改革和更严格的法律来彻底解决bid-rigging和漏洞等问题。香港建筑经理学会和建筑安全研究所等组织强调,当前的Minor Works Control System和Buildings Ordinance仍需加强。
