A new working group has been set up by the Association for Road Traffic Safety and Management (ARTSM) to represent the services element of the sector.
The working group – WG5 – will work closely with other associations and interested parties to promote safe systems of work, using technology to improve service provisions, and to provide a consistent service to clients.
After reviewing its role in the highways industry ARTSM identified that a large portion of the sector – the services element – was not represented fully, despite many members having a services department.
ARTSM is represented on a number of committees in relation to services, including National Highways Sector Schemes and works closely with other associations and bodies on reviewing documents such as the Safety at Street works and Road works Code of Practice (The Red Book).
The group will follow the same processes and guidelines as all other ARTSM working groups, with its inaugural meeting in Q1 2021.
Details of the proposed Terms of Reference can be obtained from general.secretary@artsm.org.uk
