Why attend?

This dynamic 90-minute session explores how governance and contractual decisions influence safety performance on road projects.

Through international examples and practical insights, participants will discover how procurement strategies, incentives, and risk-sharing mechanisms can either improve or undermine work zone safety.

Designed for road authorities, engineers, contractors, and project managers, the course offers practical approaches that can be applied immediately within organisations and projects.
