Terminal 5 record

Heathrow’s 7,500-strong workforce on the new £4.2 billion Terminal 5 scheme has clocked up two million man-hours without a reportable accident.

The construction project, which has placed a great deal of emphasis on the use of safe powered access and training, has hit the million man hours target on six separate occasions.

Since construction began in summer 2002 around 40 million man hours have been spent building the terminal.

Mike Evans, T5 Head of Health and Safety said: “This achievement is just reward for the effort that everyone working on Terminal 5 has put in to making this the safest construction site in the UK.”
