About session one

Welcome to the APS Spring Conference - Progress and Prevention. This conference we looked at what happens when things go wrong, what we can do to stop them happening again and insight from the experts on what can be done to prevent injury.

During this session we had the APS Presidents’ address by Raymond Bone and a debate between our past, present and future presidents on what can be done to reduce risk, prevent harm and improve safety practices in construction.
