Advice from MPA Regarding Protesters

The MPA has shared briefing documents. These can be found on the UK News download page:  MPA Briefing Document - Protestors on the public highway (952 downloads) MPA Briefing Document - Potential for commercial vehicles to be used as weapons (977 downloads)

The first addresses protesters on the public highway and the importance of employees either travelling to work or involved in work activities off-site who inadvertently get caught up in such protests to conduct themselves in a safe and courteous manner.

A briefing was originally issued to members in Q4 2021 during the Insulate Britain protests. Given the disruption on the M25 earlier this week this clearly remains a live issue – albeit it was prompted by media footage of members of the public forcibly removing individuals from roads in London last week.

The second addresses the potential for commercial vehicles to be used as weapons. The previous version was issued in Q4 2019, but with the Xmas period likely to result in more people in public spaces the police and security services continue to highlight these risks, particularly in urban environments.

Please share these briefing documents on your local notice boards and with colleagues who do not have CEMEX email addresses.
