PLANNING THE WORKS the site of the works to such an extent as is needed to discharge these obligations. These measures must be removed when no longer required. The Highway Authority has the ultimate responsibility for the administration of work that affects its roads.

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (NI) 2007 place duties on clients, designers, co-ordinators and contractors to manage the risks which are under their control. The term "designer" within these regulations has a broad deﬁnition.

Additional guidance relating to the health and safety aspects of the setting up, maintenance and removal of trafﬁc management arrangements is given in "Guidance for Safer Temporary Trafﬁc Management" published on behalf of the Highways Agency, the County Surveyors' Society (CSS) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

The temporary traffic management design should be set out in clear documentation including drawings and specifications, if appropriate, which are scheme specific. The documentation should not include any standard drawings, or details, which are not applicable to the scheme. 18
