MARK Snelling has been appointed as the new president of the Association for Project Safety (APS).
He succeeds Ray Bone, who remains as an adviser to the board of directors.
Mark’s term of office will run until 31 January 2027. He is a health, safety and fire consultant for the Property Institute and a member of the HSE’s interim industry competence committee’s capability & capacity workgroup. He is a founder director of the Building Safety Alliance.
President Mark Snelling said, “I am passionate about the Association for Project Safety and its members and delighted to be taking over as the president. This is a critical time for the UK’s construction sector – there is a huge amount of work to do, and the industry has to gear up to do this safely, quickly and well.
“I believe there are great opportunities for APS and its members. I am determined they will be able to rely on the association to keep their professional skills at the forefront of what is needed in today’s challenging environment and on APS to allow them to demonstrate their competence.
“Our new competency registers – starting with the Principal Designer Building Regulations register that is coming on stream in April – as well as the work I have been doing on organisational capability, will mean clients and contractors can have confidence in the ability of APS members to carry out the duty-holder tasks construction laws demand.”
