Sixth set of million hours safely worked on Olimpic Park

Workers on the Olympic Park have achieved a million hours worked without a reportable accident for the sixth time, since the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) gained possession of the site in July 2007.
Lawrence Waterman, Head of Health and Safety for the ODA said: ‘Health and safety is our number one priority and our record over the past year has shown the dedication and professionalism of everyone on the site.

‘However we are not complacent. The next year will be more challenging as construction activity and site worker numbers increase rapidly across the Park.’

The ODA also announced that the Park’s medical team, ‘Park Health’ have carried out 11,000 appointments with workers including health checks, tests and medicals.

Park Health provides a free, comprehensive occupational health service for all contractors on the Park.
