ISO 39001 | International Standard for Road Traffic Safety Management Systems

ISO 39001 - Road safety an added value of the organisations

Road safety SV (RTS, Road Traffic Safety) is a global concern.

It's estimated that about 1.3 million people die and about 20 million to 50 million are wounded on roads around the world every year and that this level is rising. Today, it is the no. 1 cause of death among people aged 15 to 29 and represents losses of up to 5% of Gross Domestic Product.

As you can see, the socioeconomic and health impacts are substantial.

Many organizations, including distribution centers, transport companies and port facilities, have heavy vehicle traffic due to their operations. Between forklifts, utility vehicles, delivery trucks, tractor-trailers, tanker trucks and, if we add them, railway lines, the risk of accidents is very high.

Road safety management is therefore essential to mitigating risks and ensuring safe operations within your facilities.

ISO 39001 – road safety provides the framework for establishing the system, ensuring we can carry out a comprehensive road safety assurance process.

The standard provides us with tools to:

To assist organisations to reduce and finally eliminate the incidence and risk of death and serious injuries related to traffic accidents.

Identify elements of good SV management practices that will allow the organization to achieve its desired results.

It includes the development and implementation of an appropriate SV policy, development of SV's objectives and action plans, takes into account laws and other requirements that the organisation subscribes to and information about the elements and criteria related to SV that the organisation identifies as those that can be controlled and those that can be influenced.

Helps identify Road Traffic Safety (SV) performance factors such as:

Risk exposure factors, such as: The distance traveled and traffic volume, including the vehicle and type of road users, whether or not affected by the organization, and the volume of products and/or services supplied by the organization.

Final safety result factors. For example, the number of deaths and serious injuries.

Intermediate result safety factors, relate to safety planning, design and use of the road network and its products and services, conditions for products, services and users entering and leaving, and the recovery and rehabilitation of road accident victims.

The system can be applied to public and private organizations that interact with the road traffic system. It applies to any organization, regardless of its type, size, or the product or service provided, that wishes to:

Improve road traffic safety (SV) performance,
Establish, implement, maintain, and improve a Road Traffic Safety (SV) management system,
Ensure conformity with its stated road safety policy, and
Prove conformity with this international norm.

If you seek better organizational road safety, this is the path—do not hesitate. We can help.
