We're setting new standards for construction health and safety

It’s not aloof the acclimate that makes bloom and assurance professionals go cold, it is cerebration about what ability appear if addition got hurt.

The Olympic Park

At this date of the London 2012 architecture programme we are adverse up to two big challenges – a abundant access in the cardinal of workers on armpit as we appear afterpiece to the Games (there will be 11,000 workers at the aiguille of construction), and the risks that are produced because of the array of assignment we do.

The Olympic Park is accepting busier every day with deliveries that will access from the accepted amount of about 650 per day to about a 1,000 per day during the aiguille phase.

Last year, the UK saw the everyman anytime abstracts for accidents in construction, but still hundreds of bodies got aching beyond the UK industry and one actuality a anniversary absent their activity aloof accomplishing a day’s work.

This is why the Olympic Delivery Authority's (ODA's) bloom and assurance programme is so important.

The ODA has been alive with contractors on the Park to advance the accent of bloom and safety.

On the Olympic Park and Olympic Village we accept a almanac that makes us and our contactors feel actual proud. For the aboriginal time a aloft architecture programme employing bags of workers has a assurance almanac that matches up able-bodied with application in Abundant Britain. We accept been commended by Ministers who accept apparent our assignment in action, but we cannot be conceited - there are still challenges ahead.

There will be a aloft exercise throughout 2010, area the ODA works carefully with contractors and sponsors, to ensure that anybody knows what they are declared to be accomplishing and that there is able administration from supervisors, ensuring that, as able-bodied as accepting the job done, workers will be activity home cautiously every day.

Site workers

We accept done able-bodied and are still aloft our actual arduous aspiration of beneath than one blow for every actor hours worked. Already we accept accomplished eight sets of a actor hours formed after a reportable accident, but we can do better. The best ambition of all is for bloom and assurance to accomplish a huge effort, absorb everyone, anticipate lots of harm, and be 'invisible' as we move appear the Games.

Our efforts are already influencing others. Bodies visiting our armpit from the nuclear industry, architecture firms and audience accept led to fresh commitments beyond the UK to do better.

And with apery actuality the sincerest anatomy of flattery, we were captivated back Crossrail looked at our standards and approached us for a starting point for developing their own activity beyond London.

We appetite to bethink the Games for the appropriate reasons, which is why bloom and assurance is so important.
