Road Safety Week 2025: Safe Vehicles Save Lives
At Windsor Waste Management, safety is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s protecting our drivers, our customers, or the communities we work in, we take our responsibility on the road seriously.
This year, we were proud to take part in Road Safety Week 2025, led by Brake, with the powerful theme: Safe Vehicles Save Lives.
Over the week, we highlighted practical steps, increased awareness, and shared resources to support safer journeys for everyone.
Here’s how we got involved.
Introduction to Road Safety Week
We kicked off the week by spotlighting Brake’s national theme and raising awareness of why safe, well-maintained vehicles play such a critical role in reducing incidents on the road.
Across our platforms, we introduced the campaign and set the tone for a week focused on education, engagement, and continuous improvement.
What You Can Do to Make Journeys Safer
On Tuesday, we focused on individual responsibility – because road safety starts with each of us.
Our communications centred on simple actions that help make every journey safer, such as planning routes, avoiding distractions, and staying within speed limits. We encouraged both employees and our wider network to reflect on the decisions they make behind the wheel every day.
Understanding What Makes a Safe Vehicle
Using Brake’s official vehicle safety checklist, we shared guidance on the key components that should be inspected regularly, from tyres and brakes to mirrors and load security. As a fleet operator working nationwide, this is a message we champion year-round.
FLOWER Checks: Encouraging Routine Roadworthiness
FLOWER checks is a simple but powerful acronym used to reinforce the importance of regular vehicle inspections.
All our lorry drivers perform routine checks before each journey to make sure their vehicle is roadworthy, safe, and compliant – something that’s especially vital when transporting hazardous and asbestos waste across the country.
These checks form part of our operational routine, helping keep our drivers safe and our fleet running smoothly.
Showcasing Our Safety Accreditations
Our accreditations underpin our commitment to safety, including the systems, audits, and ongoing training that ensure we operate to the highest standards.
They demonstrate our continuous investment in compliance, best practice, and safety-led operations across the full lifecycle of our services.
Keeping Safety at the Heart of What We Do
Being part of Road Safety Week is an important reminder of how crucial safe vehicles, safe driving, and strong processes are in our industry. But for us, it doesn’t stop with a campaign.
Every day, across the UK, our drivers and operations teams work together to ensure we meet (and exceed) the standards required to operate safely on the road.
Safe Vehicles Save Lives, and we’re committed to putting this into practice year after year.
