The Association for Project Safety (APS), the 4,750-strong national professional body dedicated to reducing injury and ill-health across the construction industry, has elected Jonathan Moulam as its president from 2020.

Mr Moulam, who runs his own construction health & safety and disability consultancy for clients across the UK, will take the helm of the organisation after incoming president, Stella Saunders’ two-year term, which begins this October, comes to an end. During this time, Mr Moulam will act as president elect.

“The construction sector faces a number of critical challenges over the next few years: Brexit; an effective response to Grenfell; and promoting proportionate health and safety risk management right down to delivery at the grass roots,” said Mr Moulam.

“I believe the Association for Project Safety can help make construction healthier and safer. And I will work to help APS secure its place as the premier health and safety risk management body working closely with partners across the whole construction field.

“I am committed to build on the good work that’s been done in recent years and I will work tirelessly to represent the views of the membership.”

The APS aims to improve and promote professional practice in design and construction health and safety risk management helping members, including architects and technologists, manage risk and implement building regulations effectively and proportionately.

The Association provides training, education and support - as well as networking opportunities - throughout the UK working with other bodies and partners to improve - through good design and throughout the whole life-cycle of projects and buildings - health and safety for everyone involved in construction and use.
