Supporting highways contractors, Local Authorities, and maintenance teams

Highways

Keeping Workers, Road Users, and Communities Safe

Highways projects carry some of the highest health and safety risks across the construction and infrastructure sectors. At Square Safety Solutions, we deliver practical, effective Health & Safety consultancy to support highways contractors, maintenance providers, and Local Authorities in managing these complex environments safely and compliantly.

Based in Greater Manchester and supporting clients across Cheshire and the North West, we work with highways teams of all sizes — from small contractors to large multi-agency frameworks — ensuring safety is built into every phase of planning, maintenance, and delivery.

Specialist Highways Health & Safety Services

Our highways services are tailored to the unique challenges of working on and around live carriageways, including:

  • Construction Phase Plans (CPP) and CDM compliance support
  • Site-specific risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)
  • Traffic management risk assessments and advice
  • Permit-to-work systems and Safe Systems of Work (SSoW)
  • Highways-specific Health & Safety training and toolbox talks
  • Workplace audits and site inspections
  • Incident investigation and root cause analysis
  • Support with compliance documentation for principal contractors and Local Authorities

We help you identify and manage risks associated with working near live traffic, working at height, excavation, heavy plant, temporary works, and public interface activities. Our aim is to simplify compliance while enhancing on-site safety culture for every project.
