Organisation of traffic routes

Pedestrians and vehicles should be able to circulate safely (Regulation 17). Employers must make traffic routes “suitable” for the people and vehicles using them, using measures such as speed limits and one-way systems where necessary.

A guide to workplace transport safety (HSG 136), is available from HSE Books or can be downloaded from the HSE website.
