Safety of our customers, the public, contractors and employees is an absolute prerequisite. The MTR Corporation is committed to consistently meeting statutory requirements, maintaining a safety-first culture, and employing management systems to achieve MTR Corporation’s goals for continuous improvement in safety performance in all aspects of the business.
