Safety and training standards for road works

​Codes of practice

We are currently outlining the following codes of practice:

• working Safely on Jersey Roads (Jersey specific version of the United Kingdom’s ‘Red Book’)
  
• use of Portable Traffic Signals on Jersey roads
  
• use of Scaffolding on Jersey Roads 
  

Training and qualifications

In addition to the new codes of practice, we will introduce a one day training course to provide a standard safety qualification, accessible to people who carry out non-utility related road works, such as scaffolders, crane plant operators, building contractors, stone masons, tree surgeons or exterior building cleaners. 

The course can be used as a safety refresher for people renewing their UK Street Works qualification, which is a requirement for anyone working in the utility sector.

A further half day course is available for those setting up or manually operate portable traffic signals.

Both courses will be delivered and administered by a local training provider and will include an ID card based certification system. Recertification will be required every 5 years.
