Road Safety Audits

 

 

Waterman Boreham provides experienced and independent road safety audit teams to undertake audits in accordance with the current guidance, UK – Design Manual (DMRB) standard HD 19/03 and HD 19/09 for Ireland.

With local authorities now requiring safety audits for all development-led highway improvement schemes prior to granting planning consent, clients potentially face unacceptable project delays.

Our service considers the developers’ needs first. With our understanding of the development industry we eliminate unnecessary delays, while providing the first class audit expected of a highly experienced team.

Boreham guides clients through the audit process, helping them to understand the commercial impacts of any road safety issue. While highway authorities can arrange road safety audits, their timescales can cause delays and a lack of commercial awareness can lead to problems. Our team has audited a wide range of highway improvement schemes for private developers and provided high quality audits on a timescale that meets the needs of the scheme and the developer.

Experience

The company’s auditors work on a wide range of projects throughout the UK and Ireland including major trunk roads, local highway improvements, traffic management schemes and developer-led schemes such as new access proposals.

Fact

Road safety audits ensure that operational road safety is applied during the design and construction process to mitigate the potential of any future accidents.

Safety Audits are mandatory for all trunk road and motorway improvement schemes, and are recommended as good practice on local roads.
