The Olympic Delivery Authority has reaffirmed its commitment to health and safety at the start of what is likely to be the London 2012 project’s most challenging year.
ODA chairman John Armitt applauded the health and safety record of the project, which, so far, has notched up eight sets of a million hours worked without a reportable accident. However, he acknowledged that there are significant challenges ahead: "The number of workers and activity on site will reach their peak, with construction underway in every part of the Olympic Park. The logistical challenge is huge, with the workforce increasing to around 11,000 and deliveries increasing from the current rate of around 650 per day to around 1000 per day."
