Safety Management


The UK's roads are amongst the safest in the word but yet the level of death and injury remains unacceptably high. P.Whitfield Consulting provides safety management services to Highways England's Smart Motorway Programme and previously to Connect Plus at Dartford Crossings. Such complex projects require root and branch assessment of safety aspects to ensure that safety objectives are set and delivered.

Safety is not the only objective of a project and P.Whitfield Consulting is able to offer pragmatic and proportionate approaches that allow other project objectives to be fulfilled.

Many projects now require Safety Committees (often known as Project Safety Control and Review Groups). P.Whitfield Consulting can manage and chair such forums, either as an independent resource or as an integral part of the design team.

Expert Witness Services

I am able to offer Advisory Expert Services and Part 35 Expert Witness role for highway design and safety issues. In my previous role at Atkins I was responsible for undertaking periodic reviews of performance against the company's Technical Delivery Framework to expose risks and both strengths and weaknesses of approach. 

I also developed best practice guidance internally to enable the highway design function to demonstrate that the work would be consistent and right first time. This background provides an excellent understanding of what constitutes a competent approach to consultancy and design.
