BSC delivers safety award for london 2012 railway
August 1st 2008

The British Safety Council has presented the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) with a Five Star Audit, a world class certificate for safety. The award was given to the ODA and contractors Balfour Beatty in recognition of the excellent safety standards employed in the development of the 12 track railway sidings at Orient Way to the north of Stratford.

"The ODA and Balfour Beatty have shown on this project that having an excellent health and safety record enables high standards of work rather than inhibiting them," commented BSC, chief executive, Brian Nimick.

"The BSC places great emphasis on our partnership with the ODA and our mutual aim to turn these into the safest games ever," added Brian.

"To this end, the BSC is contributing over £2 million to provide accredited health and safety training for all the 2012 volunteers – that's up to 20,000 people who will be able to take a nationally recognised qualification, paid for by us."
