Course Overview

Almost every serious incident involving construction site traffic safety was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Where traffic safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of occupational health and safety and supervised application. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting construction site traffic safety and under-invest in testing it. The programme works equally well for those formalising this strand of occupational health and safety for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Applied research in occupational health and safety consistently shows that early structure around traffic safety reduces downstream rework. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of construction site traffic safety to standardise and which to leave flexible. It establishes a shared vocabulary for traffic safety so that teams can disagree productively about it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of occupational health and safety survives a hostile question.
