Posted By Anthony Hill Greetings PW74. I worked in Hong Kong for 7 years and I gained RSO status in 1992. The rules for achieving RSO are quite straight forward and transparent. However there are very few "Gwielos" who have been able to register. The qualification is a must if you want to be properly integrated into the local HK safety fraternity who, by the way, are generally excellent practitioners. These days there are much fewer opportunities for Expats in the HK safety field as many local HK safety guys learned the practical application and enforcement skills during the ACP days and have continued to hone their skills to a high level. Keep in mind also that whilst much of the safety legislation is available in English, the language of legislation now is quite rightly Chinese following the handover in 1997. May I recommend that you contact the HK IOSH branch where you are sure to get a full and proper response. Hope this helps, Respect, Tony Hill.
