Health and Safety on an Olympic Scale: Alistair Gibb at TEDxLoughborough
"Painting Humanity" - Recorded on 16th March 2013 at TEDxLoughborough in Loughborough, UK.
Venue: Loughborough Student's Union at Loughborough University.
■ Talk:
Since the Mid 1990s Professor Gibb has been closely involved with the European Construction Institute; mainly as Project Director of its Safety, Health and Environment task force. He has led many health and safety research projects funded both by Government and industry, served on the London 2012 health and safety legacy steering group and led several research projects on the Olympic Park construction. He also has an impressive research track record in technical innovation -- particularly in offsite construction. He is a founding member of the influential UK industry body 'Buildoffsite', and has led a number of overseas trade missions.
■ Speaker:
Health and safety is an important effort to protect human health and life from unnecessary threats; even though it can be seen as boring and bureaucratic, it grows from a long struggle to protect human life. Professor Gibb, who has worked with the health and safety team at the London 2012 Olympics, talks about the practical side of health and safety showing how H&S can be vital and exciting(!).
