Security and Safety 1. Personal Safety Keep your room and apartment LOCKED whenever you leave or when you are sleeping. Inform hall attendants of the Management Office or security guards immediately if you find anyone acting suspicious in the hall premises. If you plan to leave Hong Kong for a while, it would be advisable to inform others of your whereabouts and contact information, e.g. your fellow schoolmates, roommate, or the Management Office. 2. Electrical Safety To avoid electrical accident, here are the safety tips on using electricity. Reducing the use of extension units or universal adaptors. Extension cords should only be used on temporary basis. Using only electrical appliances that meet safety standard for use in Hong Kong. Keeping electrical appliances away from water. Do not open or interfere with the power circuit box in the apartment. Contact the Management Office if you encounter any problems.
