How the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) achieved high levels of safety during the construction of the Olympic Park and all of its projects is to be made available to the industry in a new Learning Legacy website. This is the first time those working in construction will benefit from shared knowledge from a major UK construction project. It’s hoped the website will become a showcase for UK expertise in construction, health and safety and the challenges facing the construction industry. Knowledge, information and expertise has been captured throughout the construction process for the Olympics and the site will continue to build and add to its resources on health and safety, as well as other themes including design and engineering, planning, procurement and project management. The Learning Legacy website will show how the ODA tackled a wide range of issues that are challenging for the construction industry. For example it will show how more women were recruited for the development project, how the Agency achieved such high safety records and how a previously blighted industrial site was turned into a green, high quality environment for the future. The ODA has been involved in many construction projects for the games. The Olympic Stadium, built by design and construction team led by Sir Robert McAlpine involved over 240 UK businesses in its construction and design, over 5250 people worked on the project since construction started in May 2008 and was completed on time, on budget and with an exemplary safety record. Learning Legacy themes include: • Design and engineering innovation • Equality, Inclusion, Employment and skills • Health and safety • Masterplanning and town planning • Procurement and supply chain management • Programme organisation and project management • Sustainability • Systems and technology • Transport • Archaeology.
