Highways Construction Safety Solutions
Safety in the Highways Construction Industry
Road and highways construction are hazardous occupations and ranked as one of the most dangerous places to work. The main cause of injuries in this sector is contact with moving vehicles and plant machinery.
This sector is growing year on year with investment to improve our infrastructure increasing significantly, with over £15 billion spent between 2015 and 2020. To reduce disruption to our road network this work needs to be carried out 24/7 in all types of weather conditions in low light, poor visibility, with workers using ear defenders that can cause further issues to their general awareness.
All these factors pose a number of increased risks to safety, that’s why our products have been developed in collaboration with some of the biggest names in the industry.
We believe every worker deserves the right to go home safe after their shift.
