The Department of Transport, The National Roads Authority and (until responsibility for non-national roads was transferred to the Department of Transport) the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, have worked closely with local authorities and the Local Government Management Services Board to develop comprehensive new guidelines for the control and management of road works sites, for use within the local government sector. The Guidelines represent best practice and, inter-alia, address concerns which have been raised by the Health and Safety Authority. The Guidelines have issued this week to local authorities under cover of a Circular Letter from my Department.
