"Effective management of work-related road safety can
be a real challenge. A work place isn’t just a building,
or a construction site, it extends to your vehicles too. Businesses therefore must have an effective
policy covering all their work-related driving activities. This not only ensures staff are aware of their and your responsibilities; it is an essential requirement under
Health and Safety legislation".
"I am passionate about changing the way we work in this industry and will continue to invest in research and development to find better, more efficient and safer ways of working. For too long now, we have carried out various highway maintenance activities in the same way as we did when I first came into the business more than 30 years ago".
"How do we as Directors and Managers not only give the gangs working out on the road the reassurance that we understand their issues, but also that we are doing all we can to help them to do their job as safely as possible and get home to their loved ones at the end of a hard day’s work in a challenging environment".

The Silence is Deafening Webinar to be held in partnership with Eave
15th November 12pm
Why now is the time to speak up about a generation of highways workers at risk of early onset dementia.
Those with hearing loss are at greater risk for developing dementia. Why is now the time to speak up about this issue? Deafness is now known to be the largest modifiable risk factor for developing dementia. Preventing or treating hearing loss in middle life has the potential to diminish the incidence of dementia by 9 percent. This has a greater combined impact than quitting smoking and addressing obesity. Safer Highways are delighted to announce that we have partnered up with Eave to bring you a webinar which will help you to find out why now it is essential to talk about the life changing effects of hearing loss. Taking place at 12pm on 15th October. Hear from Dr David Greenberg on why Highways workers are at higher risk for developing occupational deafness and what can be done to safeguard employees from hearing loss and early onset dementia.
