This is where we share resources and information about health, safety and wellbeing to support our workers and suppliers to ensure that everyone gets home safe and well. See 'Home Safe and Well - Our approach to heath, safety and wellbeing'.
We need your input too and want you to share your experiences with us, providing examples of best practice and lessons learned. This information will help us to create a bank of knowledge and experience that can be shared across our supplier community to improve health safety and wellbeing for all.
Our corporate Home Safe and Well aim is:
“No one should be harmed when travelling or working on the strategic road network"
You'll find a wide range of information to help you to stay up to date with the latest advice, ideas and initiatives, including National Highways Health and Safety Alerts.

Van Driver Toolkit
National Highway’s Commercial Incident Prevention team along with Driving for Better Business have created a significant free resource to help van drivers, their supervisors and managers better understand their safety and legal responsibilities.
The Van Driver Toolkit covers a wide range of relevant topics in a simple and straightforward way including vehicle roadworthiness, safe and legal loading, speed limits and drivers’ hours. The guidance is available online at vandrivertoolkit.co.uk and includes print-ready files.
The resource will be regularly updated and will soon include a series of toolbox talks with supporting videos.
The resources also align with existing Raising the Bar documents and external accreditation schemes such as FoRs and Van Excellence.
