Course Description:

'' The roles of the Highway Engineers, Supervisors and Inspectors are central to the effective management of the highway network. It is important that all concerned with the design and management of the network have a full understanding of wider road safety, community responsibility and other issues.

Aims and Objectives:
This course is designed to address the situation where highway personnel often fall foul of Safety Audit, Environmental, Sustainability and "buildability" considerations, requiring eventual expensive (and probably unnecessary) redesign or remedial measures. It is important that such considerations are factored in at appropriate stages in the process, and are not regarded as inconvenient later "clip-ons"!

The course is also intended to ensure that all involved are qualified to the appropriate extent, raising awareness as to all routes to qualification, which can extend beyond civil/high.

An appreciation of "The principles of Road Safety Audit (RSA)" will form a central element of the course.

The course is run as a project management (PM) exercise - embracing best PM practices.
