Being ready for the London 2012 Olympics is a key issue facing leaders of one of the biggest construction projects in Europe. However, a main priority for those working to reach this achievement is to ensure that construction accidents on the project are minimised.
It is notable, then, that a safety record was chalked up on the East London site of seven million working hours between 2007 and 2009 in which there was not a single reportable accident.
The project is vast in complexity and scale, involving hundreds of contracts and thousands of workers. Yet ODA chairman John Armitt was apparently unfazed by the pressures, saying, "There are big challenges ahead, however I'm confident that together with the UK construction industry, we will deliver."
At the same time, the ODA said safety is not being compromised. Lord McKenzie, the ODA health and safety chief and Department for Work and Pensions minister, is congratulatory about the safety achievements to date.
"What the figures prove is that health and safety does not need to be compromised when undertaking large contracts with demanding deadlines.
"As we move closer to 2012, and the completion of these important venues and infrastructure, that same commitment will be more important than ever."
