E1 - Political Influence
The profile of, and practices within, Government related to health and safety in the industry.
Poor – 0 Political instability and/or detachment from important issues within the industry. No active measures to influence health and safety.
Moderate – 5 Stable political environment and/or recognition of the industry under the pretext of ‘public interest’, but not necessarily health and safety issues.
Excellent – 10 Elevated profile for the industry. High-level political involvement and resulting empowerment of the regulator. Fiscal policies support prosperity of the industry and emphasise health and safety.
Ratings 7-9-10
Commentary London 2012 has a very high profile
The political influence is high – there is a need to be seen to be complying with best practice
E2 - Regulatory Influence
The framework of Regulations and guidance governing the industry and the profile and actions of the Regulator.
Poor – 0 Guidance pertaining to health and safety in the industry is weak and does not impinge on the day-to-day practices for all stakeholders. The Regulator is under-resourced and thus unable to influence health and safety.
Moderate – 5 There is good guidance covering many aspects of health and safety in the industry for which compliance is checked but the Regulator is under-resourced or unwilling to take effective actions; thus rules are inconsistently subscribed to, implemented or enforced. Dialogue does take place between industry and the Regulator but there is considerable room for improvement.
Excellent – 10 Guidance relating to health and safety in the industry is effective and focuses industry attention with a strong and proactive Regulator encouraging improvements and strong enforcement deterring transgressions. Regulatory policy is pro-active and pre-empts potential problem areas. There is frequent and constructive dialogue between the industry and the Regulator.

Commentary HSE has worked closely with the London 2012, with dedicated inspectors
There was also a London 2012 micro-site on the HSE web site
Senior HSE personnel have also been involved
Specialist HSE inspectors were involved early in the Aquatics roof design; they were always present, but it is difficult to estimate their influence
E3 - Market Influence
The commercial and economic context affecting the industry.
Poor – 0 Conditions such that, due to work overload or so little work, margins are squeezed, and corners are cut with respect to health and safety. Greater willingness to take on high risk work, and at low cost.
Moderate – 5 Some application of health and safety measures and risk management but inadequate time or financial margins for substantial investment. As a result, high risk work is not addressed adequately.
Excellent – 10 A commercial environment with a balance of workload and return to enable investment in health and safety to be made. If high risk work is taken on, it is at a cost that allows reasonable risk control and prevention measures to be taken.
Ratings 3-6-8
Commentary There seems to be no Market Influence on the London 2012 at all
There was a view of business as usual, and a perception that those involved in London 2012 are ‘cushioned from reality’
Some value engineering exercises have been undertaken, but cost cuts have been minor in comparison to the overall budget
Early on, the market was more buoyant, and it was hard to get organisations interested in working on London 2012; now it is perceived to be easier
E4 - Social Influence
Attitudes held by members of the community and society at large, which can bear upon organisations and workers and may influence attitudes to health and safety within the industry.
Poor – 0 Low value placed on the industry, and so little concern for how the industry operates or for the welfare of the workers.
Moderate – 5 Neutral attitude to industry, how it operates and the welfare of the workers. Excellent – 10 Highly valued industry with respect for the skills and societal contribution of the
industry, and concern for how industry operates and the workers' welfare. Ratings 7-8-8
Commentary There was keen interest from the media with many visitors, parties from local schools, etc.
These visits had a direct impact on the workforce, who want to be viewed in the best light, and it helped to set a high standard for health and safety; appearance standards were considered to be exemplary
People were asked to take promotional posters home, which was viewed to be outwith the norm
E5 - Industry Standards
The health and safety standards which are generated from within the industry itself e.g. industry produced guidance and codes of practice, industry led training schemes, forums to cooperate and share best practice etc.
Poor – 0 There is little in the way of health and safety standards at the industry level. Companies tend to operate according to short-term profit objectives with health and safety as a secondary consideration. There is no drive or incentive from within the industry to alter this situation. Health and safety information is rarely discussed or shared between organisations.
Moderate – 5 There is some cooperation within the industry which aims to improve health and safety standards. Basic standards are sought but there is little in the way of detailed best practice or initiatives for improving health and safety. There are still many organisations who are not fully committed to sharing.
Excellent – 10 The industry has produced clear guidance and codes of practice with respect to all aspects of health and safety and these have been widely adopted. There are industry forums which seek to drive health and safety initiatives and share best practice. The industry has set itself health and safety targets and is looking for continual
improvement. Ratings 8-9-10
