The British Safety Council is pleased to add its congratulations to those of many others to John Armitt, Chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and Howard Shiplee the former Director of Health and Safety of the ODA on their New Year honours.

The award of a knighthood to John Armitt and CBE to Howard Shiplee are richly deserved not only for their significant contribution to ensuring an exemplary health, safety and environment record in the construction of the many London 2012  Olympic construction projects but for their achievements in the construction and rail sectors too in John’s case going back many years.

The trustees and staff of the British Safety Council send John, Howard and our member organisations who have helped to safely deliver the London 2012 construction projects our congratulations and best wishes for 2012.
