ISO 39001:2012 - Road Traffic Safety (RTS) Management System. Road traffic safety is a global concern, with an estimated 1.3 million people losing their lives each year and a further 20 to 50 million people suffering often serious, debilitating injuries worldwide. These figures are on the rise – driven by the increase in road logistics services and work-related commuting – and while they carry significant socioeconomic and healthcare implications, organisations are equally vulnerable to the consequences of road risks. The impacts also affect corporate reputation, with significant economic repercussions, including disruptions and delays in workflows. Road Traffic Safety Management Systems are designed to reduce road-related fatalities and serious injuries by promoting prevention, monitoring and the continuous improvement of road safety performance.

Incentive

Organisations of all sizes and across all sectors can benefit from ISO 39001 certification, aiming to minimise operational risks and improve road traffic safety. This standard is particularly well-suited to companies, businesses and public or private organisations whose services closely interact with the road traffic system.

Outcome

The international ISO 39001 standard establishes the full set of requirements helping organisations to define and implement appropriate RTS policies, objectives and strategies. It guides organisations in developing a comprehensive and integrated road traffic safety framework, enabling the consolidation of all relevant controls and processes into a single management system. Developing a road safety plan involves a set of clearly defined steps:
• Risk analysis
• Assessment of their consequences on people and workflows
• Implementation of preventive measures
• Definition of a control and monitoring system
In line with other ISO standards, ISO 39001 similarly involves a process of continuous improvement to fully meet the set objectives.

Target groups

Validity
