The successful safety and health experience in the London 2012 Olympic Park construction: an interview with Alistair Gibb

Abstract Alistair Gibb, a civil engineer, has been a professor at Loughborough University, United Kingdom, since 1993. He is a researcher in safety & health and in construction innovation technology. He is a member of the European Construction Institute, and of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Before he became a professor, he worked as a manager in the construction industry, which provided him with a useful interface by linking academia and industry experiences. Dr. Gibb lead researches about the successful safety & health performance during the London 2012 Olympic Park construction, as there were no fatal accidents and it was delivered on time and within the budget. In November 2015, to better understand this experience and to contribute for the prevention of work accidents in large construction sites, Brazilian researchers from the FAPESP Thematic Project (Process No. 2012/04721-1) invited Professor Gibb to participate in the 50th Forum AT (occupational accidents’ forum), about safety & health in large construction sites. This interview was granted at that opportunity.

摘要：阿里斯泰尔·吉布（Alistair Gibb）为土木工程师，自1993年起任职于英国拉夫堡大学（Loughborough University）教授一职。其研究方向涵盖安全与健康、建筑创新技术领域，同时为欧洲建筑学会（European Construction Institute）与英国土木工程师学会（Institution of Civil Engineers）成员。在投身学术领域前，他曾于建筑业担任管理职务，这段经历为其搭建起学术与产业间的有效沟通桥梁。吉布博士主导了2012年伦敦奥林匹克公园建设项目的安全与健康绩效研究，该项目未发生致命安全事故，且按期、按预算完成建设。2015年11月，为更好地借鉴该项目经验并助力大型建筑工地的工伤预防工作，来自圣保罗研究基金会（FAPESP）主题项目（项目编号：2012/04721-1）的巴西研究人员，邀请吉布教授参与以大型建筑工地安全与健康为议题的第50届AT论坛（职业事故论坛），本次访谈正是在此次论坛期间完成的。
