The Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA) is authorized by the Labour Department to issue Mandatory Basic Safety Training (MBST) certificates, commonly known as "Green Cards." The Green Card program plays a vital role in ensuring that construction professionals receive up-to-date safety training, which has become an increasingly important concern in the industry. In response to this need, the HKIA has taken the initiative to update training material since 2023 to better align with the latest requirements and promote overall safety within the construction sector.
