Safety is a core priority for Highways England and the AFR (Accident Frequency Rate) has reduced within their supply chain by a half over the last 2 years and is now at 0.09.
Highways England’s supply chain working on construction and maintenance activities have reported the following numbers of incidents on the motorway and trunk road network in accordance with RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) in each year since 2010, up to end of September 2017. These totals include those contractors killed and injured in road traffic incidents.
