New road and street works are everywhere across the UK, keeping our roads safe and traffic moving. With so much reliance on quality, time, and safety of our roads and infrastructure, the works are subject to legislation that provides a compulsory framework for new roads and street works activities.
The New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA) sets out objectives to:
Overseeing works and monitoring the teams working on these often high-risk projects is a fundamental role on-site and one that requires acute attention to safety. A critical part of these works is preparation, with signage, lighting and guarding measures vital to overall site safety.

This Certification and Assessment Board for the awarding body certification delivers the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding of this novice NRSWA Unit 10 Signing, Lighting and Guarding - Supervisors (S1) course. It is primarily aimed at Supervisors who have never worked on the highways and must now monitor the erection of signing, lighting and guarding for work on the roadways and highways.
