What is ISO 39001?
Road traffic safety (RTS) is a global concern. The socio-economic and health impacts are substantial.
ISO 39001 is an international standard aimed at, public and private organizations, of all types and sizes, as well as individual drivers, and provides the right tools to help reduce, and ultimately eliminate, the incidence and risk of both serious injuries and death associated with road accidents. This focus can result in a more cost-effective use of the road traffic system.
ISO 39001 Certification helps organizations to achieve RTS results at levels that exceed what can be achieved through compliance with laws and standards, and at the same time, contributes to the achievement of societal goals.
ISO 39001 identifies elements of good RTS management practice that will enable the organization to achieve desired RTS results. Through the adoption of a holistic Safe System approach to RTS, large reductions in death and serious injury can be achieved. This involves a clear and unequivocal focus on RTS results and evidence-based actions, supported by appropriate organizational management capacity.
Why ISO 39001 is important for your business?
The requirements of the International Standard ISO 39001 include development and implementation of an appropriate RTS policy, development of RTS objectives and action plans. RTS objectives and action plans take into account legal and other requirements to which the organization subscribes, and information about elements and criteria related to RTS that the organization identifies as those which it can control and those which it can influence.
ISO 39001 sets the requirements for the application of a Road Traffic Safety Management System, which ensures high quality and efficiency in road traffic management. The ISO 39001 is comprised with requirements that assist organizations to establish and perform suitable RTS policies, objectives and strategies.
