New construction chief at the HSE
1st Feb, 2006 to 1st Jun, 2006
Stephen Williams has been appointed chief inspector of construction at the HSE. Commenting on his appointment, Stephen said: “I am delighted to be taking on this position at such a challenging time for the industry. The world will be focusing on our safety record during the construction of the 2012 Olympic sites and the revised Construction (Design and Management Regulations will mean new ways of working. My aim is to see an industry that gets health and safety right first time, right from the start, and with the right people involved. It is only by the industry showing leadership, working in partnership and taking ownership of the management of risk that improvements will be made. I look forward to working with the industry to achieve the challenging targets it agreed at the Construction Summit'.
Stephen Williams was previously head of the HSE’s Railway Policy Division, based in London.
