Construction Safety - Olympics 2012

Over eighty IOSH Members and guests attended the IOSH East Midlands Branch meeting on the 21 October 2010 at the National Water Sports Centre, Nottingham.

Guest speaker for the evening was former IOSH President Lawrence Waterman. 

In his current role Lawrence oversees health and safety across the Olympic construction project and he informed members of how health and safety issues have been addressed throughout the stages of project as well as the challenges still to be faced.

Information relating to accident statistics, near miss reporting and the management structure adopted for health and safety during the project were all included in the presentation.

Some of the health and safety initiatives that have been trialled as part of the project were discussed along with the potential legacy from the planning and construction phases that maybe used in future health and safety projects.

Lawrence has kindly made a copy of his presentation available for IOSH East Midlands Branch members and this can be accessed via the members area of the website.
