ISO 39001:2012 Road Traffic Safety Management Systems | ISO Certification and Trainings- Abu Dhabi,Dubai, UAE 

About ISO 39001:2012 Road Traffic Safety Management Systems

Road traffic safety (RTS) is a global concern. It is estimated that around 1,3 million people are killed and 20 million to 50 million are injured on roads around the world each year, and that this level is rising[10]. The socio-economic and health impacts are substantial.

 

This International Standard provides a tool to help organizations reduce, and ultimately eliminate, the incidence and risk of death and serious injury related to road traffic crashes. This focus can result in a more cost-effective use of the road traffic system.

 

This International Standard identifies elements of good RTS management practice that will enable the organization to achieve its desired RTS results.

 

This International Standard is applicable to public and private organizations that interact with the road traffic system. It can be used by internal and external parties, including certification bodies, to assess the organization's ability to meet the requirements.

 

Experience from around the world has shown that large reductions in death and serious injury can be achieved through the adoption of a holistic Safe System approach to RTS. This involves a clear and unequivocal focus on RTS results and evidence-based actions, supported by appropriate organizational management capacity.

 

Government cannot achieve these reductions alone. Organizations of all types and sizes, as well as individual road users, have a role to play. By adopting this International Standard, organizations should be able to achieve

 

  • RTS results at levels that exceed what can be achieved through compliance with laws and standards, and
  • their own objectives, and, at the same time, contribute to the achievement of societal goals

Main Highlights

This International Standard specifies requirements for a road traffic safety (RTS) management system to enable an organization that interacts with the road traffic system to reduce death and serious injuries related to road traffic crashes which it can influence. The requirements in this International Standard include development and implementation of an appropriate RTS policy, development of RTS objectives and action plans, which 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 This International Standard is applicable to any organization, regardless of type, size and product or service provided, that wishes to

a) improve RTS performance,
b) establish, implement, maintain and improve an RTS management system,
c) assure itself of conformity with its stated RTS policy, and
d) demonstrate conformity with this International Standard.


This International Standard is intended to address RTS management. It is not intended to specify the technical and quality requirements of transportation products and services (e.g. roads, traffic signs/lights, automobiles, trams, cargo and passenger transportation services, rescue and emergency services).
It is not the intent of this International Standard to imply uniformity in the structure of RTS management systems or uniformity of documentation.


RTS is a shared responsibility. This International Standard is not intended to exclude road users from their obligations to comply with the law and behave responsibly. It can support the organization in its efforts to encourage road users to comply with the law.


All requirements of this International Standard are generic.


Where any requirement of this International Standard cannot be applied due to the nature of an organization and its products or services, that requirement can be considered for exclusion, provided the exclusion and the reason for exclusion are documented.


Where exclusions are made, claims of conformity to this International Standard are only acceptable where these exclusions do not affect the organization’s ability to establish, implement, maintain and improve an RTS management system successfully.
