Great work by our M40 team, who have recently completed a specialised water safety training course at a local reservoir. This training has equipped them with essential skills and knowledge to safely operate around rivers, canals and balancing ponds along the motorway. By enhancing their ability to assess risks, implement safety measures and respond effectively to water-related emergencies, our team is now better prepared for crucial maintenance and ecological work along the M40 corridor.
