"Is dangerous cycling a problem" BBC

so an example is the construction industry in our country.

there used to be many more deaths and injuries than there are now and it used to have argue like mad who was responsible.

as a result the government introdued CDM (the construction, design and management regulations).

amongst other things CDM made the client responsible for the health and safety plan and answerable for deaths and injuries on site. (the architect, building contractor and building operative also have responsibilities).

but the big change was that person creating the risk i.e. the client was now in the hot seat for the health and safety plan.

and lo and behold since CDM deaths and injuries have dropped substantially.

Who would the 'client' be. The road planners? The authority that commissioned the road planning? We need roads even if they're imperfect.
