5. Reviewing and Updating The 5 Year Plan
We have introduced a new vision for Highways England. We aim to get customers, staff and supply chain, Home Safe and Well
This still means that “no one should be harmed when travelling or working on the strategic road network”
We will also place additional focus on wellbeing
Key outcome measures will be KSI (Customers), AFR (Supply Chain), Lost Time Incidents & employee absence (HE)
There will also be a suite of leading measures
This will be supported by a cultural change programme aimed at making Health, Safety and Wellbeing personal
