In a bid to help end roadworker abuse, Forest Traffic Services, a Part of the Core Highways Business have joined other highways industry leaders in signing up to the Stamp it Out commitment.
Over 50% of roadworkers admit that they encounter abuse on a weekly basis with 70% saying that this is something which occurs at least once a month. Stamp it Out is a vital programme which brings businesses together as a single industry voice to say that enough is enough and road worker abuse will not be tolerated.
Simon white Forest MD commented:
“Forest Traffic Services is pleased to be joining the Stamp It Out campaign. Our great people help maintain and improve the UK’s critical infrastructure and there is nothing more important than their safety and wellbeing. By joining the campaign we want to send a clear message that we do not tolerate any form of abuse to roadworkers nationwide.”
Speaking about Forest signing the commitment, Stamp It Out Project Director, Kevin Robinson said: “In the two and a half years since we founded the Stamp it Out programme we have made considerable progress. But it is now the turn of the client and supply chain to help us to drive the programme. To see forward thinking organisations such as Forest buying into our ethos is something which, as an industry, we should applaud.”
