Speeding on Site Awareness Certification

Speeding On Site Awareness Certification

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 will outline 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.
