The Foreman

I've heard of looking after site workers - but the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is really taking the pi** with this one.

Word reaches me from East London that occupational health experts on the London 2012 job are equipped with colour charts to check the shade of workers' pee.

Now, I'd better explain before this all sounds a bit wrong. The charts were issued to site nurses this summer to help ensure operatives didn't get dehydrated. Apparently, healthy pee should be a light straw colour. If it's more of a dark orange hue then you're not drinking enough water.

Alas our rotten summer meant lectures on adequate hydration were few and far between in Stratford this year. But come 2009, the ODA watchdogs will be making sure once again that our brave builders are not "going for gold" in the wrong way.
