Overview
A professional programme for those who plan, lead and report management-system audits against ISO 39001:2012.

The standard
About the standard
ISO 39001:2012
Road Traffic Safety Management System
Gives any organization that shapes or is affected by road traffic, from transport operators to public authorities, a structured management-system approach to cutting road deaths and serious injuries. Built on the plan-do-check-act cycle, it requires organizations to set a road-safety policy, define measurable objectives, and identify which crash-related risk factors they can control or influence. It is written so that conformity can be independently certified, in the same style as other ISO management-system standards.
Key objectives
- Reduce deaths and serious injuries linked to road traffic crashes
- Set measurable road-safety objectives and action plans
- Identify crash-related risk factors an organization can control or influence
- Embed continual road-safety improvement via plan-do-check-act
- Support third-party certification of road-safety management
Who uses it
Fleets, transport operators, and organizations exposed to road-traffic risk.
