Balfour Beatty says its roadworks staff are increasingly facing escalating abuse from motorists, including a reported road-rage incident in which a vehicle ploughs through construction works. The company says it has provided its workers with body-worn cameras for their own safety. Balfour Beatty also states that staff have been given conflict resolution training and have been offered counselling in response to the worsening behaviour from drivers frustrated by road conditions. The firm says the measures are intended to protect employees while managing incidents that occur around active construction sites. Across reporting, the focus is on the risk posed to workers by aggressive conduct and the steps taken by the contractor to improve safety and support staff. The sources presented do not provide additional details about any arrests, injuries, or the outcome of any investigation, nor do they include statements from affected motorists.
