Daniel Marsh, King’s College London will speak about real-world emission measurement work for the London Low Emissions Construction Partnership and the NRMM LEZ policy for London.
- Plant Operators – How many are there? Will supply meet demand? Official statistics say 45,000 plant operators in UK. But it could be as high as 245,000. Which is right? Carl Letman, Skyblue Research, will share the results of the CPA / CITB research into plant operator supply and demand.

- Evolution in Safety Standards. The role of the client in the constant improvement of major projects’ standards, including HS2’s Health and Safety Standard.
- 2018 – What challenges will it bring to businesses in construction plant hire? Are you worried about where the next generation of employees is going to come from?
