Once roadworks are underway, conditions on site can change quickly. It’s important to carry out regular checks to ensure that all signage, barriers, and traffic management remain effective and compliant. The following checks should be reviewed frequently while work is in progress:

• Does all signing and guarding reflect current site conditions?
  As the layout of the site changes, signage and barriers must be updated accordingly to avoid confusion and maintain safety.
• Are signs, cones and lamps kept clean and visible?
  Dirt or damage can reduce visibility and effectiveness—equipment must be regularly cleaned and maintained.
• Can traffic control arrangements be improved to reduce delays as conditions change?
  Traffic flow should be monitored and control systems adjusted if possible to ease congestion and improve efficiency.
• Are the carriageway and footway clear of mud, debris, and surplus equipment?
  Materials and machinery should be kept tidy and not obstruct road users or pedestrians. This reduces risk and maintains a professional site appearance.
• Are any materials left on verges or lay-bys properly guarded and lit?
  Stored materials must be made safe and clearly visible, especially in poor light or overnight.

Continual monitoring of site conditions helps prevent incidents and ensures the safety of both workers and the public throughout the duration of the works.

Key points:

• Update signage and barriers as conditions on site change.
• Keep all equipment clean and visible at all times.
• Adjust traffic control measures to improve traffic flow when possible.
• Maintain clear footways and roadways free of mud and obstructions.
• Guard and light stored materials on site.
