Colin talks about traffic management risk assessments, and offers some insights into the areas we should consider so as to make sure that our people remain safe at all times.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Risk assessments are generally carried out on roads, but there are many more places that we should examine.
• Our people should always have the correct training. With their knowledge and expertise kept in constant development, we mitigate much of the risk.
• If people show a continued disregard for rule-breaking, then it is on us to get out there and take responsibility - to act as a leader and to correct the path they are on. The root causes may lie within our control.
