Vale Dave Single

BY JAMES OXENHAM

The access industry lost a great man in Dave Single, who passed away on 21st July 2021. I had the pleasure of knowing Dave for 10 years, and in that time, I have not met anyone more passionate about safety. As I read through the comments on Dave’s LinkedIn page, the impression he left on hundreds of people is truly inspiring. With messages of condolence from so many countries, it’s fair to say Dave was highly respected around the world. When it came to safety, he would highlight areas he believed could be improved and call out anything he believed was wrong. It’s hard to imagine our next EWPA NSW event without Dave, who rarely missed a meeting and always had so much to contribute. Even through ill health, Dave realised the power of connecting with people through sharing his ideas. His online presence had a wide and resounding reach. Dave left the industry safer for all the people he helped along the way and for his actions putting safety first, and for that we thank him. He will be remembered and missed by so many people, and on behalf of the EWPA, I am proud that his name will live on in the Award we have named in his honour, reserved for outstanding contribution to the access industry. Vale Dave.
