We're excited to announce the introduction of a brand-new fleet of traffic safety vehicles that are being deployed across some of our largest contracts in the UK.

What’s Been Happening?

In collaboration with our Traffic Safety Supervisors (TSS), we've been working diligently to maintain the highest safety standards on our sites and in all aspects of our work. Recently, we've focused on implementing new standards for all National Highways worksites in the UK. These standards aim to elevate the safety protocols across all companies involved in roadworks, ensuring improved safety practices and knowledge.

What’s Special About the New Vehicles?

Our new fleet is part of a broader initiative to enhance safety and operational efficiency at all National Highways worksites. These vehicles will provide the TSS with a safe and compliant means to conduct necessary inspections and carry out work activities across our networks.

We've ensured that the new vehicles meet all the requirements outlined in the National Highways Raising the Bar (RTB) 39 Document. They are also equipped with the latest safety technology to guarantee that the TSS and all on-site personnel are operating in line with the required standards.

Here are some key specifications and features of the new TSS vehicles:

  • Unobscured windows: Full visibility all around the vehicle
  • Reflective materials: Applied to all door and locker edges for enhanced visibility
  • Blind spot detection: Aids in safe manoeuvring
  • New safety markings compliant to Raising the Bar (RTB) 39 Document

These advancements reinforce our ongoing commitment to safety and excellence in all our operations and demonstrates that the safety of our colleagues and all others onsite is at the forefront of our minds every single day.
