With the 'big build' phase of the project now complete, the huge task of getting ready to stage the London 2012 Games is well underway. This includes transforming new and existing venues, as well as building temporary venues for competition, hospitality, events and celebrations.
This is a crucial time for planning and physical preparations. The challenge for everyone involved is to maintain the excellent health and safety record achieved so far.
HSE has worked with local authority co-regulators to develop a Health, Safety and Welfare Intervention Strategy for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), which is responsible for staging the 2012 Games. Covering the period from now until the end of the Games, the strategy is based on early intervention and the targeting of high-risk activities.
