Raising The Bar Guidance

Highways England health and safety initiative to identify best practice, raise standards and improve supply chain engagement within construction and maintenance activities.

Through the ‘Rais­ing the bar’ ini­tia­tive, Highways England working in collaboration with its supply chain aim to iden­tify cur­rent health and safety best prac­tice and then define that as the min­i­mum require­ment to be implemented on all construction and maintenance activities.

‘Raising the bar’ provides guidance on the cur­rent best prac­tice and min­i­mum require­ments for health and safety on construction and maintenance sites within Highways England. Highways England and its supply chain partners are required to review their procedures against these documents then consider and implement standards on site within six months of the document version date.

Where applicable, each major scheme should comply with the ‘minimum requirements’ of the standards.The standards also set out ‘desirable’ elements, for consideration and implementation if deemed appropriate.

The current published series of documents can be found here on gov.uk;
