Executive Workshop Series:
Proper Installation & Maintenance of Roadside Safety Devices
The International Road Federation is proud to return to Brazil Road Expo for a third year in a row.
The IRF will offer a one-day workshop on “Proper Installation & Maintenance of Roadside Safety Devices,” a topic of critical relevance for highway administrators, concessionaires, contractors and manufacturers, among many.
Investing in proper roadside safety devices is a big step for the nation of Brazil and the nation is moving forward in the long process of making its road network infrastructure safer. The success of this effort and related resources spent, however, are at high risk when those devices are improperly installed. It is paramount to fully understand how they operate and under which conditions they are designed to perform. An improperly installed device will, at the very least, not perform as expected but could actually exacerbate the situation, turning into a hazard itself. The same can occur for improperly maintained devices.
This workshop will briefly review the basic roadside safety components and will later address in depth both good and bad examples of device installations and maintenance.
Local and international experts will share their experiences, and this workshop will provide valuable practical insights designed to assist all parties involved in making Brazilian roads safer.
