CABE Teams Up With APS To Enhance Building Construction Safety
The Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) has signed a new agreement with the Association for Project Safety (APS) to enhance the professionalism of building construction, management and engineering in the UK.
The Memorandum of Understanding will allow both CABE and APS members to share and build on the expertise and experience of colleagues across the industry to improve skills and knowledge.
Overall, members will be able to access conferences, training courses and CPD events organised by both associations on the same basis and for the same price as members of the other organisation. In addition, both CABE and APS will exchange their publications allowing members to keep up to date with current developments.
Chief Executive Officer of CABE, Dr Gavin Dunn, said: "The signing of this MOU represents a great opportunity to bring the relevant and competent skills of both organisations together to offer a joined-up approach to representation of our industry.
"It clearly shows that we recognise the importance of health, safety and well-being at the heart of all we do, not only in the construction industry but in the design and operational aspects of the built environment. These actions allow us to ensure a valid and meaningful contribution to society with a strengthened voice."
APS President Bobby Chakravarthy said: "Safer buildings and construction sites must be a priority for the UK construction sector. And, at the heart of delivering the improvements we all want to see, is the need to share the vast knowledge and experience held within the professions across the sector.
"I believe today's ground-breaking agreement between the Chartered Association of Building Engineers [CABE] and the Association for Project Safety [APS] will help members access a deeper pool of skills and information and help ensure everyone can keep up to date with changes and developments in the UK construction industry."
