Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD), HKSAR Government

EMSD, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, plays a dual role in Hong Kong. Firstly, we act as a regulatory body and law enforcement department with regard to electricity, gas, lift and escalator safety, and a number of related E&M safety areas. Our second role is to provide E&M engineering solutions and services to other government departments and public sector organisations in Hong Kong. The department has some 4,000 employees, of whom about 250 are professional engineers and over 4,000 technicians and skilled workers. A further 1,000 specialist staff are seconded to other government departments. EMSD has two functional arms - Regulatory Services and Trading Services - to provide E&M services for enhancing the safety and quality of life of Hong Kong.
