理事長歡迎辭
本會於2019年5月中做了一個問卷調查,收到約500名會員的回覆,結果顯示當時約有20%的會員已失業或面對即將約滿的惆悵。現時的情況更為惡劣,在過去幾個月,相繼有大型基建工程項目完工,而政治問題又阻延了新工程項目在立法會申請撥款的審批,相信RSS的就業情況已變得更壞。RSS需要更加團結,爭取多些大型基建項目盡快上馬,創造就業機會。
本會在過去幾年與發展局不斷磋商,解決了長期困擾RSS的斷約條款問題。在「駐地盤人員管理手冊」於2018年8月簽發後,斷約期已延長至5年。另外,可豁免斷約的工作類別亦涵蓋至其他政府出資的大型工程項目上(包括第三條機場跑道、醫院重建及啟德體育園等項目),RSS飯碗朝不保夕的情況已得到改善。
經過多年積極參與社會事務,本會已提升了在業界的地位,根據最新修訂的《建造業工人註冊條例》,本會為四個有資格確認半熟練工人年資的認可工會之一。
本會會繼續努力為RSS發聲,保障RSS的就業機會及待遇。同時,我們亦會致力舉辦工餘活動,提供訓練機會給RSS,幫助他們提升自我價值。

Chairman's Welcome
In May 2019, RSSA conducted a questionnaire and 500 responses were received. The results indicate that about 20% of members had been unemployed or were facing frustration about the plight of imminent contract end at that time. The present situation is even worse, given the completion of several large infrastructure projects in the past few months. With a double whammy, the fund approval process in the Legislative Council for the new projects in the pipeline was stalled by the recent political turmoil. RSS should stay together to push more major infrastructure projects to get start as soon as possible, for creation of more job opportunities.
RSSA continued negotiation with the Development Bureau in the past few years. The problem with the break service condition perplexing RSS for a long time has been resolved. After the issue of the RSS Management Handbook in August 2018, the break service period has been extended to 5 years. Besides, the categories of jobs exempted from application of the break service condition have been extended to other government funded large public works projects (including the third airport runway project, hospital reconstruction projects, the Kai Tak Sport Park project, etc.). The precarious situation of the livelihood of RSS has been improved.
Through active participation in social services for several years, RSSA has lifted up its status in the industry. In accordance with the latest issue of the Construction Workers Registration Ordinance, RSSA is one of the four recognised trade unions qualified for certifying working experience of intermediate tradesmen.
RSSA will continue to make every attempt to voice out the RSS’ demand for protection of their job opportunities and remunerations. Meanwhile, we will also determine to organise more after-work activities to offer training opportunities to RSS to assist them in boosting their self-values.

駐地盤人員協會是由負責監管工務工程及大型基建項目的駐地盤人員所組成,會員包括專業工程師,專業土地測量師/工料測量師,工程監督人員,測量人員,技術人員及文職人員等。
聘用駐地盤人員監督工務工程的制度歷史悠久,由五十年代起,政府需要興建各類基建工程,如水塘,機場,鐵路,道路,填海及新市鎮等項目,以配合社會人口和經濟的增長。 政府於是制定了一套聘用合約駐地盤人員(以公務人員身份)監督工務工程的制度。
本會於一九八九年六月創立,當時加入香港政府華員會,並成為其屬會之一。
由於香港主權的移交,政府在一九九五年至一九九八年間推行私有化政策。以外判形式將駐地盤人員轉為由顧問工程公司聘請。
於一九九八年,為配合私有化政策的完成,本會脫離了政府華員會,並改名為「顧問工程公司 (駐地盤) 人員協會」。現時,本會為工聯會屬會之一,會名亦簡化為「駐地盤人員協會」。並於二零一二年,應香港建造業總工會邀請,本會加入成為其屬會成員。
本會的目標是致力提升工程監管質素,包括施工安全標準及環境保護常規等。
Resident Site Staff Association (RSSA) is formed by personnel working for site supervision of public works projects or other large infrastructure projects. Members include professional engineers, professional quantity surveyors, inspectorate site staff, survey site staff, technicians, clerical site staff, etc..
The system for deployment of Resident Site Staff (RSS) to supervise public works projects has a long history. Since 50’s, the government has been raising a lot of large infrastructure projects, including reservoirs, airports, highways, railways, reclamation, new town developments, etc. in order to cope with the need of the population and economic growth. The government then formulated a system to employ contract resident site staff, as Crown Servants, to carry out the site supervision.
RSSA was established in late 80s and was affiliated to the Hong Kong Chinese Civil Servants’ Association (HKCSCA) at that time.
In connection with the sovereignty handover for Hong Kong, the government implemented a policy [namely Direct Employment System (DES)] between 1995 and 1998 to change the RSS status from Crown Servants to employees employed by consulting engineering firms.
In 1998, RSSA detached itself from HKCSCA because of the completion of the DES and was renamed as “Consulting Engineering Firm Resident Site Staff Association”. It is now being affiliated to the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, with a simplified name of “Resident Site Staff Association”.
The goal of RSSA is to raise the quality of site supervision, including safety standard, and environment protection practices, etc..
