CIOB launches new HS&W Advisory Panel
Nicky Roger Community editor
The CIOB HS&W Advisory Panel is chaired by David Bucksley
CIOB has finalised its Health Safety and Wellness Advisory Panel (HS&W). It joins others in sustainability, heritage, innovation, quality, EDI, global and UK to provide expert knowledge on key policy priority areas in line with CIOB’s corporate plan, at a global, national and regional level.
The panel is chaired by David Bucksley, health, safety and wellbeing director at Sir Robert McAlpine.
He said: “What a pleasure to spend time with such an amazing group of industry professionals from different parts of the sector. I am honoured to be chairing such a worthwhile group, with such an important platform to improve the construction industry.”

improve HS&W in all areas of construction (man and van to tier 1 and everything in between);
improve the image of construction – to help attract a wider and more diverse talent pool;
support public interest – more people work in construction than any other industry in the UK; and
represent CIOB in HS&W matters – moving forward and providing competent advice to members, non-members and key stakeholders.
The panel will confirm its focus at its first meeting in November. Bucksley said this is likely to include: wellbeing and mental health; the effectiveness of CDM; the effectiveness of the HSE; competence – the skills gap; technology and HS&W; behaviour and psychological safety; and the provision of general HS&W support material for both members and non-members.
Bucksley said his goal for the group is to be “accessible for industry” and he is working on a comms plan.
“We will be linking into and promoting the fantastic work that is already happening around some key areas, such as the excellent work that the tier 1 Health and Safety Leadership group is doing around fatal risk categories, and the work the Construction Leadership Council and Mates in Mind are supporting around proactive controls to improve mental health in construction.
“We will be reaching out to all key stakeholders in due course to help join the dots.”
The November/December 2025 issue of Construction Management magazine is now available to read in digital format.
