Jane goodall - reasons for hope dome show at hong kong space museum inspires environmental conservation efforts worldwide, screening until march 14, 2025.

The Hong Kong Space Museum will launch a new dome show, "Jane Goodall - Reasons for Hope", at its Space Theatre from July 1 (Monday). British primatologist Dr Jane Goodall dedicated her life to protecting the Earth's ecosystem. The show will allow audiences to follow Dr Goodall's research and her ecosystem conservation efforts in locations such as Canada, the United States, Europe and Africa. It aims to raise audiences' awareness of natural ecology conservation and inspire them to contribute to the maintenance of Earth's ecology.

In the show, audiences will follow Dr Goodall as she travels all over the world, including a visit to a mining town in Canada where they will see a lifeless land being transformed into a lush green oasis. Audiences will also witness how the Blackfeet Nation in the United States help the endangered American Bison return and thrive in the grasslands stretching from Mexico to northern Canada. They will also travel to Europe to participate in a project aimed at reviving the migratory habits of the Northern Bald Ibis. Dr Goodall has been promoting environmental protection globally. She had planted the 10 millionth tree in Sudbury, Canada, and introduced to the public mechanical trees invented by scientists that help collect carbon dioxide from the air to slow down the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The 45-minute show will be screened until March 14, 2025. Screening times are 5pm on weekdays and 11am, 3.30pm and 8pm on weekends and public holidays respectively.

Labour department issues heat stress warning: employers and employees urged to take preventive measures to avoid heat stroke in hot weather or environments

As the Heat Stress at Work Warning is now in effect, the Labour Department (LD) reminds employers and employees to take appropriate measures during the effective period of the warning to prevent heat stroke when working in hot weather or hot environments.

Employees who work outdoors or in non-air-conditioned indoor environments face high levels of heat stress and are at a relatively higher risk of heat stroke. Employers should assess the risk factors of heat stress for employees at work and, based on the identified risk factors, take necessary preventive and control measures, including rescheduling work periods, setting up shading covers, providing ventilation and heat dissipation equipment, and reminding employees to replenish water and rest in a timely manner.

The Heat Stress at Work Warning is formulated by the LD based on the Hong Kong Heat Index. There are three levels of the warning: Amber, Red and Black, which help employers and employees better understand the level of heat stress while working outdoors or indoors without air-conditioning systems.

A spokesman for the LD said that when the department issues the Heat Stress at Work Warning, employers must refer to the criteria and recommendations provided in the "Guidance Notes on Prevention of Heat Stroke at Work" to conduct risk assessments, according to the workloads and other relevant heat stress risk factors, for employees who work outdoors or in non-air-conditioned indoor workplaces. Appropriate rest breaks should be arranged every hour, as far as reasonably practicable, based on various levels of the Heat Stress at Work Warning, to reduce employees' risk of heat stroke.

Employees must also follow instructions to rest on time. Whenever there are any symptoms of heat-related illnesses, such as headache, dizziness, thirst, and nausea, they should rest in a cool and shady place, drink water, and inform employers/supervisors to take appropriate action immediately.

The LD issued the "Guidance Notes on Prevention of Heat Stroke at Work", detailing the various risk factors that should be considered when conducting heat stress risk assessments and recommending corresponding control measures for identified risk factors for employers' and employees' reference. For the Heat Stress at Work Warning and related guidelines, please refer to the department's thematic webpage: www.labour.gov.hk/eng/news/prevention_of_heat_stroke_at_work.htm.
