Highways safety inspections are a obligation for councils, vital for keeping roads safe and providing critical evidence to defending against claims.

What is it:

Highways safety inspections are a statutory obligation for councils. Vital for keeping roads safe, they also provide authorities with critical evidence necessary for defending against claims. However, these inspections consume much time and resource. Typically carried out by a slow-moving vehicle, or on foot, they can also necessitate traffic management with its associated costs and disruption.

Our newest product offering, SafetyView, offers comprehensive data capture and display for every safety defect across all your inspection routes supporting every decision you make with the best data and analysis available.

As the result of exhaustive internal product development and an extensive trial with 3 councils, SafetyView meets the highest quality service standards for all customers, bringing you the most comprehensive safety inspection support service available.
