Association for Project Safety announces a new series of regional roadshows

“Attendees can expect comprehensive updates on the latest building regulations and explore the transformative implications of artificial intelligence in construction as well as gain new perspectives on the industry, as a whole.”

Additionally, APS plans to detail its new register for principal designers, aiming to demonstrate their competence in handling the new building regulations duty-holder role.

This register is open to both members and non-members who meet the required skills and experience criteria.

Supporting mental health in the construction sector
