“Safety Reunion” – Construction Industry Poster Design Competition

The Construction Industry Council (CIC) is committed to promoting safety awareness in the construction industry. The “Safety Reunion” – Construction Industry Poster Design Competition encourages participants to design posters around the concept of safety in the construction industry. It reminds practitioners to always prioritise safety, emphasising the importance of caring for themselves as well as others, and wishing them a safe return home to reunite with their families after work.

This competition is organised by the Construction Industry Council and supported by the Education Bureau. Winning entries will have the opportunity to be showcased on the event website and select entries may be displayed at construction sites. We encourage students to unleash their creativity and contribute to the enhancement of construction site safety!
