Olympics learning legacy portal launched

摘要

Health and safety is one of ten themes that forms part of a landmark initiative aimed at maintaining and replicating the high standards set by the London 2012 project across the rest of the construction industry. Launched on 17 October by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), Learning Legacy is a blueprint for the UK construction industry and marks the first time that a construction project in the UK has sought to capture intellectual capital on such a vast scale. The venture brings together the ODA, contractors, professional bodies - including IOSH - government and academia, and builds on the Authority's ethos of setting targets well above the industry benchmarks. Despite being the largest construction site in Europe, with more than 12,000 workers, the reportable accident rate on the Olympic Park is around a third of the construction-industry average and below the national average for all workplaces.
