We are pleased to confirm that Ground Control has officially become a member of Safer Highways;
A beacon of best practice for the good management of all health, safety and wellbeing issues, and that other sectors look to us as leaders in this field
Safer Highways share our view that managing the safety risks surrounding construction and maintenance is already challenging but adding the additional risks of high-speed traffic and potentially abusive road users to the mix means we must do even more to look after our people.
Ground Control’s Initiatives include:
- Mental Health Online Summit – The online Summit equipped industry leaders of organisations, irrespective of their size, with the tools to effectively manage issues around poor workplace mental health and stress by allowing them to effectively engage with experts.
- Stamp it out campaign – The highways industry-backed task force driving to eliminate abuse and incursions into closures on the road networks
