The Role of Passive Sign Supports in Making Roads Safer

Local Authorities are inevitably going to be involved in the design and implementation of road safety systems, which requires knowledge about Passive Safety as a topic. This webinar will help you navigate this complex subject.

As a manufacturer of road safety solutions, at Hill & Smith Infrastructure, we are passionate about passive safety. We are dedicated to quality and are committed to supporting every stakeholder involved in the design and implementation of road safety systems with more information on the concept of passive safety solutions. As part of this endeavour, we are delighted to present this webinar.

The webinar will discuss the concept of passively safe products, with particular focus on passive sign supports; how they work and what are their benefits compared to traditional signposts.

Andrew Pledge, a renowned figure in the field of Passive Safety, will guide you through:

• The "Safe System" approach and other safety initiatives

• Considerations around roadside features

• The concept of passive safety

• The difference between traditional and passively safe signposts

• The types of passive sign supports available

• Introduction to the EN 12767 standard

Hill & Smith Infrastructure's Sarah Compton will then introduce the HiMast passive signposts to you, that is known for its sustainable and innovative design. You will learn the features and benefits of the product, as well as the comprehensive design support we provide.

Learning about the history, concept and considerations for the placement of passively safe products, including passive sign supports will keep you a step ahead. This will not only give you a peace of mind that the solution chosen is safe and compliant, but can also help saving significant time and money, by getting it right first time in the design stage.
