RSMA

Stand C67
Originally established in 1976 the RSMA is one of the largest specialist trade bodies in the Highways sector, and has played a pivotal role in the development of the UK road marking industry. With a membership spanning the UK, Europe and beyond we are able to draw on a host of industry experts. We work with a number of Government bodies and industry partners to ensure our collective voice brings recognition, development and change to underpin our vision 'Safer Roads for All Users'. Primarily created to represent the voice of our members and the industry, we have now gained a strong reputation for training, standards and safe systems of work. We were the first specialist skills sector to develop a Specialist Applied-Skills Programme ensuring safe operatives for our members and across the wider industry. It is our aim to promote our industry as a key component of a safe and effective highways network.

Documents

  • RSMA STANSPEC 2022 - Standard Specification Document for Horizontal Road Markings and Road Studs
    STANSPEC 2022 addresses the supply and installation of white and yellow permanent road marking materials and retro-reflecting road studs. The document provides a template for shared understanding between RSMA members and their clients, addresses prescribed performance standards and aims to assist Local Authority Highways employees in the planning of road marking works, preparing invitations to tender and during contract negotiations.
  • GUIDANCE FOR TEMPORARY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AT MINOR STATIC ROAD MARKING SITES
    Guidance for Temporary Traffic Management at Minor Static Road Marking Sites outlines effective temporary traffic management measures that protect the safety of the public and the workforce. The document is intended for use alongside the Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 8 2009, including the 2020 Update and is a supplement to achieving the minimum requirements of the code of practice set out by those documents. The document should help ensure: - Clients can specify a clear expectation of safety level and method of work during procurement. - Clients can identify contractors who are willing to cut corners, not comply with legislation and place their workforce and the public at risk. - Designers can reference a clear standard when designing safe systems of traffic management. - Contractors can clearly identify to clients the willingness to work safely to industry and regulatory expectations in tenders and method statements.
