A main contractor and two subcontractors have been fined over HK$900,000 each for their role in the electrocution death of a 38-year-old apprentice electrician working on solar panel installation at Hong Kong Science Park three years ago. The magistrate noted that China Power International Development, as the main contractor, failed to conduct any on-site supervision and that all tiers involved—A Kourage, Skynet Engineering Company, and Towngas-China Power (HK) Integrated Energy Company—showed "serious negligence" by not ensuring adequate safety measures were in place during wet weather conditions.

Story summary
In 2019, a 38-year-old apprentice electrician was fatally electrocuted while handling wiring for solar panels at the Hong Kong Science Park during wet weather conditions. The main contractor, China Power International Development, and two subcontractors, A Kourage and Skynet Engineering Company, were found to have contributed to the incident through serious negligence in safety measures. A joint venture between China Power and Hong Kong and China Gas Company, called Towngas-China Power (HK) Integrated Energy Company, was also involved but not directly cited for negligence by the court. Magistrate Jeffrey Sze Cho-yiu fined each company more than HK$900,000 for their roles in the worker’s death, highlighting that no on-site supervision had been conducted at all during the installation works.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
