The Transport and Logistics Management on National Highways Toolbox Talk provides essential guidance for the safe coordination of vehicles, plant, and materials during highways operations. Developed in line with Raising the Bar 20 (RTB20), this document aligns with UK safety regulations, including the Workplace Transport Safety Guidance and The Traffic Signs Manual (Chapter 8). It helps businesses implement effective transport management systems to reduce risks, improve site efficiency, and ensure compliance with UK legislation.

The document emphasises the importance of pre-shift briefings, vehicle safety inspections, and competency checks for drivers operating specialist plant and delivery vehicles. It also covers the safe use of reversing aids, signage, and traffic marshals to manage on-site vehicle movements effectively. In line with Raising the Bar 20, the toolbox talk stresses the need for regular reviews of logistics plans to address evolving site conditions and maintain operational safety.
