GENERAL SAFETY

Hong Kong enjoys a low crime rate compared to other major cities and
is generally considered to be a very safe place. Nevertheless, you should
remain vigilant, exercise caution and follow common sense in looking after
yourself and your personal belongings.

LAB SAFETY

All students taking courses that require the use of laboratory facilities and
machinery must abide by strict laboratory safety guidelines. Many accidents
that occur here are preventable. Remember to observe safety rules and
exercise care under all circumstances.
