Introduction
The Highways Agency manages one of the busiest high-speed road networks in the world. This brings increased risks to those who work on the network to ensure that it is kept safe and in good condition for millions of road users. The people that carry out these vital duties are vulnerable from being hit by traffic and these risks need to be reduced.
Recent fatalities of road workers on the Highways Agency's network have highlighted the continuing need to focus on the safety for this group in particular, and for all workers on the network in general. Further initiatives are necessary to make a step change in the reduction of casualties to road workers. The Government, Highways Agency, its suppliers and stakeholders are committed to make improvements in the measures taken to protect our valuable workforce.
The people that carry out these vital duties are vulnerable from being hit by traffic.
