No Excuse for Roadworker Abuse has published free resources to help contractors, local authorities and the wider supply chain prepare for safety standdowns during Roadworker Safety Week from 16–20 November.
Included in the resources are presentations, videos and practical guidance that aim to support workforce briefings around preventing abuse of roadworkers, reporting incidents and supporting those impacted.
Roadworker Safety Week – created for the highways and construction industry to take ‘meaningful action' on worker safety – is expected to start with ‘It's not part of the job', which will introduce the industry's approach to eliminating roadworker abuse, on 16 November.
Tuesday is set to focus on empowering reporting, including gathering information and evidence during the ‘Golden Hour' following an incident.
Materials for Wednesday help address how to increase prosecutions through recognising, responding to and reporting abuse and include a practical toolkit and check sheet.
Thursday covers planning and conflict avoidance, which will include considering abuse as a design risk, recognising warning signs and preventing escalation.
Finally, the 20 November brings the week to a close with a focus on wellbeing and support, along with recovery at work and sources of help for colleagues affected by abuse.
All information and campaign materials are free to download from the Roadworker Safety Week 2026 page on the No Excuse for Roadworker Abuse website.
