The Greater Manchester Police Traffic Network Section aim to; Detect, disrupt and challenge criminal use of the roads, challenge poor driver behaviour to reduce road casualties and work with neighbourhood staff to reduce vehicle related anti-social behaviour, improving public confidence and satisfaction. GMP is committed to working with the “Drivesafe”, Greater Manchester Casualty Reduction Partnership.
The fundamental roles of the Traffic Network Section as outlined by Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) are; Patrolling the roads Disrupting criminality Reducing road casualties Counter terrorism Anti-social driving These roles are inter-linked with the overall aims of the GMP Policing Plan which are; Reduce crime Protect vulnerable people Reduce anti-social behaviour Strengthen visible local policing Deliver value for money The Traffic Network Section is made up of a number of Units; Road Policing Units Core operational delivery is based on the two Road Policing Units located at Eccles and Chadderton. The Units have geographic responsibility for areas within the force and they are headed by an inspector. Each RPU provides 24-hour cover and is responsible for providing initial response to serious and fatal road traffic collisions, attendance and investigation of non-life threatening collisions and supporting divisional and neighbourhood led operations. Each Unit also has responsibility for the motorway system that runs through their area. Traffic PCSOs are RPU based and support roads policing enforcement, collision scene preservation and have strong links with Neighbourhood Policing Teams to assist with local traffic related issues. Serious Collision Investigation Unit This Unit is based at Eccles and provides 24-hour cover to attend, report and investigate fatal, serious and life threatening road traffic collisions. It was developed from national best practice and allows a specialist team of officers to provide a highly skilled response to these life-changing collisions. Working within the SCIU are Forensic Collision Reconstruction officers who are specialist investigators. They use their technical expertise to recover scene evidence in order to be able to reconstruct the circumstances of collisions.
During investigations the Unit works closely with Greater Manchester’s Coroners and Crown Prosecution Service offices ensuring incidents are investigated in line with ACPO Road Death Investigation Manual guidelines. Automatic Number Plate Recognition: Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit Using a mix of liveried and unliveried vehicles, the ANPR: TVIU deploys mobile ANPR or responds to static ANPR camera activations. They are also tasked, via the Force’s Intelligence Hub, to support serious crime investigations throughout GMP. There are also a number of other smaller Units within TNS that deal with issues such as escorts, motorcycles (on and off road), minor collision investigation and vehicle examination.

It has been the policy of successive Government's that we should not generally seek to enforce health and safety at work legislation where public and worker safety is adequately protected by more specific and detailed law enforced by another authority. Where safety cannot be adequately regulated by other more specific legislation, such as the Road Traffic Acts and the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations, there may be a need to use health and safety legislation, particularly in cases of serious management shortcomings. HSE refers to work-related road safety (WRRS) but others use the terms work-related road risk (WRRR), occupational road risk (ORR) or management of occupational road risk (MORR). The police will in most cases take the lead in the investigation of road traffic incidents on the public highway. Employers have been found guilty of aiding, abetting, counselling and procuring the commissioning of road traffic offences by employees. The offence usually requires proof of knowledge on the part of the employer that the vehicle, driver or activity was unlawful. Decided cases have cited the following terms when employers have been found guilty of causing or permitting a road traffic offence: This was developed in association with a wide range of interested parties including HSE. RDIM helps identify the circumstances in which health and safety management failures may have significantly contributed to an accident and where referral should be made to HSE because failures cannot be addressed by 'cause and permit' provisions of road traffic law, see para 5 above. The Regulations specify in Schedule 1 the main activities which determine whether local authorities will be the enforcing authorities. All other activities are reserved to HSE, even if they take place in LA enforced premises. Local authorities have no health and safety enforcement responsibilities in relation to the public highway.
They will, however, have responsibility for road traffic incidents occurring within the curtilage of premises for which they are the enforcing authority, e.g. car parks. LAs also have duties in relation to roads as Highway Authorities. Road trafficincidents arising from the movement of a vehicle on the road are only reportable where either the injured person was engaged in, or a person was injured as a result of: However, notifications of both reportable and non-reportable work-related road incidents will be received by HSE from employers, members of the public, local authorities, the police and others. When deciding if HSE has a role in relation to particular incidents inspectors should consider the principles and practices set out in this OM. In such cases inspectors should cooperate in line with the advice contained in the relevant Enforcement Handbook. When approached by the police for help, inspectors should agree to assist where the police have sufficient reason to suspect that safety management failures have been a significant contributory factor in the incident and cannot be addressed by the 'cause and permit' provisions described in paras 5 and 6 above. In these cases, the advice given in paras 22, 23, 24 is relevant; and. Again, the advice given in paras 23, 24, 25 is relevant. That said, formal enforcement action should not be taken just because there is an absence of alternative specific legislation or to fill gaps in other legislation. (See appendix, section 9 on hours of driving) Enforcement action should, in most instances, be confined to the service of notices to mitigate risks caused by underlying health and safety management failures. However, if principal inspectors consider that the circumstances of a particular incident fall within the HSE Enforcement Policy then prosecution may also be appropriate. Care will be needed to check that action required by HSE does not conflict with other law, e.g. Highways Act, planning legislation etc.
These will fall into three broad categories relating to: HSE will be responsible for dealing with such incidents and complaints as the enforcing authority for work activities on the road, and inspectors will need to liaise closely with LAs. In these investigations inspectors should note that they do not have the vires to enquire about on-site activities, unless they have the relevant flexible warrant. In most instances this will be the police and where incidents involve local authority enforced premises, or employees of such premises, the local authority as well. Other regulators may also be involved such as: Inspectors should indicate HSE interest and the areas where they might be able to assist or would want to take action. In most situations inspectors should confirm the action they intend to take in writing. This should be done both when HSE is to take enforcement action and when it is decided HSE does not have an enforcement role. Inspectors investigating work-related road traffic fatalities should seek to establish liaison mechanisms with the police and CPS in line with the protocol. When dealing with work-related road traffic fatalities inspectors should also ensure investigations are conducted in accordance with HSE's Enforcement Policy Statement. They may also be referred to the HSE Work-Related Road Safety website which contains further information The Manufacturing Sector is currently revising and combining the guidance in HSG 62 and 67 and expanding it to include advice on roadside vehicle repair, recovery and rescue.In such situations the employer will have knowledge of the risks involved and a good opportunity to ensure the safety of the activity. See also paras 20 and 33 below. HSE should liaise with LAs and the Police about possible action in such cases and ensure that any underlying health and safety management failures are adequately resolved.
The Police (or others such as the local highway authority and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) are better placed to deal with incidents that occur on public roads and enforcing road traffic legislation. The majority of road traffic incidents will not be RIDDOR reportable. Where premises are local authority enforced it will be for the local authority to take action not HSE. See Arrangements for dealing with 'on the road' incidents involving dangerous goods CDM will be relevant for construction sites. HSE is therefore likely to have a role in relation to management of risk, for example, manoeuvring of lift trucks outside employer's premises, and vehicles entering and leaving work premises. The Highway Code sets the standards for this activity on public roads. HSE should not prohibit reversing per se. Employers should demonstrate they have done all that is reasonably practicable to protect workers and members of the public. This may involve deciding if reversing into premises is safer than reversing out of premises. Any banksman needs to be protected from traffic and should be instructed that they have no authority to stop traffic on the public highway. However, the Army replicates requirements of road traffic law in Army Regulations. Failure to comply with Regulations is an offence under the Army Act etc - and individual soldiers are subject to disciplinary hearings. Accidents are not reportable under RIDDOR if the driver is on duty at the time. Inspectors should generally resist involvement with such issues and seek advice from the Public Services Sector. HSE may have a role where the vehicle is moving between agricultural premises and are subject to the Agriculture (Tractor Cab) or Agriculture (Avoidance of Accidents to Children) Regulations. The requirements for lights and reflectors for bicycles are contained within the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations which are enforced by the police.
Gov Direct provides advice: Cycling Many local authorities have released guidance on newspaper delivery. The safe carriage of passengers on road vehicles is primarily dealt with by the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations and is enforced by the police.The competence of drivers to operate equipment in the workplace will be relevant where road traffic incidents involving specialist works vehicles occur just outside the curtilage of premises. It is illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone or similar device while driving. Employers can also be prosecuted if employees are distracted because they require them to use their mobile phones while driving. The Sector can provide further advice. But HSE should be involved if it is parked in the work place. Refer to local highway authority. See Minibus and coach seatbelts. HSE inspectors should generally resist taking an enforcement role in relation to this issue. See HSE guidance for securing of loads in the workplace Complaints should be referred to them or LAs where emissions causing nuisance at particular site. Incidents involving road worthiness of vehicles are a matter for the police. VOSA also has role in enforcing Road Traffic Act provisions on the road worthiness of vehicles.In addition there may be scope for Trading Standards officers to prosecute for poor servicing under the Road Traffic Act S.75 (supply of unroadworthy vehicle). But on-vehicle accessories which form part of the vehicle will require maintenance under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) Employers should establish safe systems of work for such activities. See Preventing falls from vehicles and Sheeting and unsheeting Temporary Traffic Management on High Speed Roads. For other construction activities presumption is for some HSE involvement, if only technical support to others.
If gritter vehicle just travelling between gritting locations, then no HSE involvement. Employers should ensure safe systems of work in place. (See also 39 for issues relating to ice on roads) Employers should ensure safe systems of work in place. (See also 39 for issues relating to road debris.) Injuries occurring during the loading of refuse onto refuse collection trucks will be RIDDOR reportable. Waste management and recycling Danger to other road users caused by positioning of vehicle is a police matter. Wearing of high visibility clothing to be encouraged. However, although high visibility clothing may be PPE under health and safety at work legislation there is a disapplication in the Regs for PPE whilst travelling on a road. Traffic represents an additional risk that safety management arrangements should cover. Road traffic legislation will take precedence where the police, traffic wardens, etc are making use of their powers to stop or direct vehicles, and in relation to road users at roadworks. Where safe systems of work are not established or implemented there may be a role for HSE. (When level crossings are involved then Office of Rail and Road may have a role). Road traffic legislation will have primacy in incidents involving crossing patrols. A Home Office circular provides guidance on suitable clothing for crossing patrols. RoSPA have produced guidance on crossing patrols that represents best practice, including training issues. Where incident occurs due to failure to train crossing patrol staff in safe stopping of traffic there may be a role for HSE enforcement. Risk to pedestrians and passing traffic needs to be balanced against risk to banksman. Where banksman is used there is a need to ensure they are as safe as reasonably practicable. A banksman has no power to stop traffic. One statutory function of highways authorities is to ensure people able to enjoy usage of roads. There is a specific requirement in HA s.
161 relating to any deposits on the road and s.41 relating to ice. (The condition of the road surface at level crossings is a matter for the Office of Rail and Road) Highways Agency and Police play an important role. Traffic Regulations Orders issued by local highway authority. Designers should consider the safety of those carrying out changes. TheTraffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 detail signing and site layout requirements. When introducing temporary speed limits in relation to road works the Police and local highway authority must be consulted by the principal contractor. CDM will apply to construction sites.
