HIGHWAYS ENGLAND PASSPORT SCHEME
HIGHWAYS ENGLAND PASSPORT SCHEME
The Supply Chain Safety Leadership Group (SCSLG) and Highways England endorse the full implementation of the HE passport scheme to evidence training and competence.
The HE Passport scheme has 2 parts:
1. The Smartcard/System, a single database accessible by all applicable license holders with the ability to record training, competence, tool box talks, notify expiry dates, data sharing and migration on individuals moving between Service Providers that can be read by a variety of mobile or fixed access card readers;
2. The Highways Common Induction (HCI), to provide a baseline understanding of the common hazards on the Highways England network, reducing the induction process repeated on every project by removing the content that is common to all sites.
BENEFITS
During a proof of concept phase for the passport scheme more than 500 employers (80% of them have less than 100 people working on the network) joined the scheme and more than 18,000 cards were issued and those who introduced the passport scheme found that:

- A consistent and common standard had been driven up across sites: allowing users to access basic records on site and instantly record on-line Tool Box Talks or site training, reducing paperwork processing time significantly.
- It provided more efficient and effective ways of working for T2+ suppliers: reducing induction time by eliminating the common elements that will be covered by the Highways Common Induction, provide consistent levels of assessment and recording of competence, avoiding having to buy their own system
- It provided everyone who requires access the HE network with clear awareness of sector specific risks and hazards in a consistent manner, flagged any individual work restriction that the PC should be aware of, facilitated the recording of working/ journey times, and who is on site (self-check-in option available) across contracts/schemes
- It enabled workers to view a copy of their own full record
- It provided access to site rules – at a manageable project or site level

Site Presentation
As you start to roll out the Highways Passport on site you will need to brief your teams. The presentation below is designed to be used on site for supervisors and anyone else required to swipe or check Highways Passport cards. It has been developed in a modular way so the presentation can be broken up and used on different days over a specified time period so as not to overload people with too much information.
