Roadwork Safety is a training programme, which the Finnish Road Administration as the road manager uses to guarantee that the people working on the roads are introduced to the dangers of traffic. The objective is to increase the knowledge about traffic and occupational safety of the supervisors and, especially, the workers. Another objective is to standardise traffic control on work sites and to introduce safe working methods into road works. The Finnish Road Administration sets safety competence requirements for the people involved in carrying out, planning, managing and supervising roadworks, which the person in question can fulfil by completing the Roadwork Safety training. Completing the basic Roadwork Safety 1 course is the occupational safety requirement for all people involved in roadworks, and the basic requirement for the responsible persons participating in the advanced course Roadwork Safety 2. The Finnish Road Administration has updated this Roadwork Safety 1 text book to correspond with the revised Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Government Decision on the Safety of Construction Work.
