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.
