Highways Health and Safety

In the high-risk, high-speed world of highway construction and maintenance, health and safety isn't a formality; It’s a frontline defence. With remote teams, live traffic environments and constantly shifting hazards, maintaining strong safety standards across large infrastructure projects is a complex challenge. Yet many operators still rely on outdated, manual processes that slow down incident reporting, limit oversight and increase risk exposure.

eviFile changes that. It’s the digital solution designed to bring control, compliance and clarity to every mile of your highway delivery.

Old Systems Are Still Holding Highway Safety Back

Whether it’s a live carriageway resurfacing job or overnight bridge maintenance, the speed and complexity of highways work demand a safety system that’s as dynamic as the environment itself. Paper-based inspections and spreadsheets can’t keep up. They delay critical responses, create fragmented audit trails and leave project owners exposed when things go wrong.

Missed hazards, delayed near-miss reporting or poor visibility across subcontractors aren’t just operational headaches, they can lead to serious safety risks.

Highways Need a Digital Safety Foundation

eviFile’s highway health and safety solutions are purpose-built for live, high-risk, remote environments like highways. It transforms how delivery teams, project managers and safety officers work together in real time and across multiple sites.

Here’s how it works:
  • Mobile-First Reporting from the Field: Crews can raise hazards, log incidents and complete safety inspections directly from a phone or tablet. All data is time-stamped, location-verified and automatically synced, giving your teams instant, accurate and auditable records.
  • Consistent Safety Workflows Across Sites: From PPE checks to RAMS reviews and toolbox talks, eviFile makes sure safety processes are consistent. That’s essential for Tier 1 contractors and frameworks managing multiple projects and supply chains.
  • Live Dashboards for Real-Time Oversight: Project leads and HSEQ teams get full visibility of safety performance across all sites. Spot trends. Act quickly. Prove compliance when it matters most.
  • Tamper-Proof Evidence and Full Audit Trails: Every inspection, record and sign-off is backed by secure metadata. This gives you a clear, regulator-ready audit trail for every project stage, whether you’re reporting to the client or preparing for a formal HSE review.
  • Integrated Permits, Forms and Sign-Offs: Digitise everything from hot works permits to handback forms. No lost paperwork, no delays and no back-office bottlenecks.
Health and safety isn't a department. It's a collective responsibility. And with tools like eviFile anyone anywhere can be part of the solution.

It's not just about compliance, it's about care. And it's not just about risk, it's about saving lives.

Compliance That Moves With You

eviFile is more than faster forms. It’s a smarter way to keep people safe and meet your compliance obligations without the friction. With tools that support ISO 45001 and CDM 2015 standards, you can be confident that your safety data and audit trails are secure and always accessible.
"Introducing this technology has brought benefits across the whole project supply chain, including stakeholders and regulators. We’ve seen a 30% reduction in site visits through real-time data capture and a 50% time saving in the completion of hand back files to the regulator."

Alana Davoren, Project Manager at Alstom
