HRS CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION TERMINAL

Customers can be severely impacted by temporary roadworks, especially

when they live close to or even within the area where the works are taking

place. Communicating effectively with customers trying to navigate around

roadworks or getting to their home is therefore essential to prevent

frustration and potential harm to the workforce.

DECARBONISING TRANSPORT

Climate change is the most pressing environmental challenge of our time. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that we need to take action, and doing so is a clear priority for the Government. That is why in June 2019 we became the first major global economy to pass a law that requires us to achieve 'net zero' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. 

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION IN 2020

The proposed rewards on offer for successfully harnessing modular construction are many: 

increased productivity, decreased carbon footprint, a way to address the skills shortage, and greatly increased building capacity, to name a few. 

MENTAL HEALTH POLICY IN ENGLAND

Around one in four people in the UK suffer from a mental health problem each year. The NHS has set out that it wants to achieve “parity of esteem” between mental and physical health, in terms of access to services, quality of care and allocation of resources. While the achievement of parity of esteem has been a long term-policy goal, since 2010 this aim has increasingly featured in legislation and in Government and NHS policy statements. 

ROAD INVESTMENT STRATEGY 2: 2020–2025

This Road Investment Strategy is not a blueprint for pouring concrete, laying tarmac or welding steel. 

This is first and foremost a document with people at its heart. 

If we are to invest £27.4 billion over the next five years on our strategic road network, it is crucial that we use this funding to improve the lives of all. 

SAFETY CASE FRAMEWORK REPORT

This Safety Case Framework Report 2.0 is the culmination of a programme of work which has distilled best practice in the creation and sharing of connected and automated mobility (CAM) safety cases for the testing and development of connected and self-driving technologies. It brings together the best practice and learnings from many organisations to develop a consistent approach to both the creation and understanding of safety cases. 

KICKSTARTING YOUR HEALTH & SAFETY SOFTWARE PROJECT 

Most risk assessments, audits and other documentation still exist on paper, perhaps with a few excel spreadsheets thrown into the mix.

​

This system of managing safety presents a lot of difficulties. Documents go missing, get thrown out etc. Templates are overwritten each time someone uses them.

SPECIAL REPORT -SKANKSA

Skanska UK has produced a special report about its low carbon approach. Our special report details Skanska UK’s approach to reducing carbon emissions.

It includes our estimates of our supply chain emissions, going back to 2010. It is supported by the carbon management system technical document, which you can also download.  This gives more details of the methodology that we have used to estimate the emissions of our supply chain.

GROWING SAFETY ENGAGEMENT IN YOUR WORKPLACE

“The success of the OH&S management system 

depends on leadership, 

commitment and participation from all levels and functions of the 

organization.” 

The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) had realised for a long time that alongside “compliance activities” based on legislation and 

approved codes of practice, there is a need to consider the safety culture of an organisation. 

RETHINKING URBAN MOBILITY

There is no better place than London Transport Museum to see how the recent history of London, like the United Kingdom’s other cities, has been shaped by step changes in technology: the arrival of the steam engine and the underground railway in the nineteenth century; the internal combustion engine at the start of the twentieth.
