Highways Safety Hub, Raising the Bar No.39 – Traffic Safety and Control at Roadworks

You may have heard of it being talked about across industry, but what is it ?
There has been some disparity in the past, regarding roles and responsibilities for key traffic management personnel. This document was put together to provide clarity on those roles, seeking to address the skills, knowledge, attitude, training and experience necessary to complete various safety critical roles, namely:

•Traffic Management Designer (TMD)
•Traffic Management Manager (TMM)
•Traffic Safety and Control Officer (TSCO) / Traffic Safety Supervisor (TSS)

Additionally, it hopes to bring customer focus into safety arrangements made with respect to temporary traffic management.

Where does it apply ?
The expectation is that the document will detail minimum requirements for organisations and individuals involved with worksites on the National Highways network, and will be implemented by all supply chain partners working with National Highways

When is it applicable ?
Staggered introduction in 3 parts enabling a gradual rollout of the different elements:

•October 2023

•October 2024 – September 2025

•September 2025 onwards

Where can I find more information ?
Details of the various roles, requirements and all other information can be found within the latest version of the document, at:
