Supply Chain Safety Leadership Group
The Supply Chain Safety Leadership Group (SCSLG) was formed to provide focus to improving safety performance across the National Highways road network through collaborative working across the supply chain where common risks exist, and provide a unified voice for the sector.
The Group includes representatives from suppliers and provides safety leadership and clear strategic direction to the supplier community, overseeing the development and adoption of health, safety and wellbeing improvement activities throughout the National Highways supply chain, aimed at eliminating fatal risks - reducing risks on the network to operatives and road users.
It is responsible for raising the quality of conversations between National Highways and the entire supply chain, improving supply chain safety maturity through collaborative working, agreeing key priorities to deliver change at pace and reduce inefficiencies.
Vision
The SCSLG's vision is to create a very clear shift in safety performance to ensure everyone who works with us and everyone who travels on the network gets home safe and well.
The group have carried out extensive risk profiling across the highways sector and from the results are focusing on the top nine significant risks as below
