In response to the latest legislative updates and compliance requirements introduced by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) for licensed private swimming pools, the CPD seminar on “Private Swimming Pool Safety” — jointly organized by the Property Management Services Authority (PMSA), the Hong Kong China Life Saving Society (HKCLSS), and the Hong Kong Association of Property Management Companies (HKAPMC) — was successfully held on 2 October 2026!
In his speech, our President Mr. Kevin Chu expressed sincere gratitude to FEHD and HKCLSS for proactively addressing the sector’s most urgent needs through the rollout of the new Lifeguard Digital Verification System. This system effectively intercepts the use of forged certificates, further enhancing the professionalism and credibility of lifeguards. We strongly encourage the industry to register and utilize this officially recognized digital verification service to verify qualifications in real-time, mitigate wrong-hiring risks, and safeguard pool users.
In addition, our Past President and current Chairperson of HKCLSS, Dr. Johnnie CHAN, shared practical guidance on verifying lifeguard credentials in full compliance with regulatory standards and mitigating risks associated with fraudulent documents.
Our Vice President Mr. Sanford Poon along with several council members, also attended the seminar to engage in in-depth exchanges with industry peers, demonstrating the management’s strong commitment and full support toward promoting professional compliance and safety standards in the industry.
Overwhelming Industry Support:
– Over 200 members attended in person
– Over 1,500 licensed property management practitioners joined online
We extend our sincere gratitude to all participants for their active support, demonstrating the sector’s firm determination to keep pace with statutory updates, safeguard residents, and enhance professional compliance.
We will continue to partner with government departments and regulatory authorities to support the industry in navigating regulatory trends.
