CIOB innovation panel vice-chair Stefan Mordue has joined the board of the Association for Project Safety (APS).
Mordue is a chartered architect and senior manager for education and partnerships at infrastructure engineering software business Bentley Systems and has been a leading advocate for adoption of digital construction processes over the past decade.
Mordue’s career spans professional practice, consultancy, education and governance, with a consistent focus on improving safety outcomes through better design, collaboration, and information management. He is co-author of BIM for Construction Health and Safety (RIBA Publishing), a publication commended by the Health and Safety Executive and CPD-approved by APS. He has also contributed to CIOB guidance on AI and digital twinning.
Also joining the APS Board is Stewart McArthur, an independent construction assessor at Bureau Veritas, the inspection and certification business.
He has more than 30 years’ experience in the construction industry and began his career in building standards before moving into the warranty sector, before stepping out into construction as a site manager, where he gained experience in site management and health and safety.
He has been involved with The Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) since 2001 and has played an active part in the Scottish regional committee for the past 14 years.
McArthur is based in Scotland and, in line with APS strategy for having board representation in the four UK jurisdictions, he will keep the board apprised of developments on Scottish regulations and be the focal point for membership interests in Scotland.
As APS board members, the pair will also help APS strengthen professional competence, embed safety through design, and help the industry respond pragmatically to regulatory and technological change.
The appointments bring fresh perspectives and experience to APS’s role in further strengthening its influence across the built environment as it works to ensure that standardised competency frameworks provide clarity and consistency across the construction industry.
Andrew Leslie, chief executive of APS, commented: “The new appointments bring a diverse mix of experience and ideas to our board, which will help us better support our members. Stefan and Stewart are both highly respected professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to our board.
“Their expertise will play a key role in strengthening our efforts to promote best practice in building and infrastructure safety. Our focus is not just on overcoming challenges, but on creating new opportunities to promote all aspects of construction industry safety. The appointments of Stefan and Stewart to the APS board will help us move forward in that mission.”
