Speeding needs to be carefully managed on both public highways and in the workplace. Every year, several people die on UK construction sites in vehicle-related accidents and dozens more are injured.
Controlling vehicle speed and movement should be a key priority for anyone responsible for the health and safety of those on site. This course outlines the steps you must take when structuring a site, alerting people to hazards and encouraging workers and visitors to drive at a safe speed.
You Will Learn
- The importance of controlling the speed of vehicles on a work site and what employers and workers must do to comply with relevant health and safety law.
- How and when speed limits are useful in controlling speed, how to choose an appropriate speed limit and how to keep pedestrians away from traffic.
- How to use traffic calming measures to reduce the speed at which traffic moves around a site.
- How to draw up and implement a safe driving policy and how training can reduce or eliminate speed-related incidents at work.
The course is made up of 4 modules and around 3 hours of learning, each including a quiz to check your understanding.
