CD Fencing become the latest organisation to join Stamp it Out

In a bid to help end workforce abuse, CD Fencing have joined other highways industry leaders in signing up to the Stamp it Out programme.

With workforce abuse becoming a subject which is high on the agenda of many within the supply chain Stamp it Out, the industry wide programme designed to eliminate the blight on our sector, have launched a commitment document which it implores all clients and contractors to support and sign.

Good leaders recognise that effective management of roadworker abuse is a key imperative in keeping our people safe and well on the public highway.

When it comes to managing the risk we put our people under when they encounter aggression from members of the road using public we need to stand together as an industry and say, as a collective, that enough is enough.

Over 50% of roadworkers admit that they encounter abuse on a weekly basis with 70% saying that this is something which occurs at least once a month. Stamp it Out is a vital programme which brings businesses together as a single industry voice to say that enough is enough and road worker abuse will not be tolerated.

Speaking about CD Fencing signing the commitment, Stamp It Out Project Director, Kevin Robinson said: “In the two and a half years since we founded the Stamp it Out programme we have made considerable progress. But it is now the turn of the client and supply chain to help us to drive the programme. To see forward thinking organisations such as CD Fencing buying into our ethos is something which, as an industry, we should applaud.”

Echoing the sentiments, Andy MacCuish, Director at CD Fencing said,

“At CD Fencing, we don’t believe in standing on the sidelines. Stamp It Out isn’t just a campaign - it’s a movement we believe in, because the abuse roadworkers face is unacceptable. Change won’t happen unless we step up.

"We approached Kevin because we saw a gap, a need for committed SMEs like us to get involved in a meaningful way. Not just by signing up, but by leading from the ground up. This ambassador approach allows us to live the values, influence our supply chain, and drive real cultural change where it matters most: out on the road.

"We hope this new approach inspires others to follow suit and make an impact. Respect is not a luxury. It’s the baseline. And we’re here to help raise it.”
