She credited their dedication and vision. They set exemplary standards for safety. Workers having a voice helped greatly. Unite worked with the development company.
They made health and safety reps vital on site. This protected the project’s many workers. UK projects usually have 2,640 injuries per 100,000 workers. Battersea should have had over 100 serious accidents.
