ISO 39001

The international standard ISO 39001 provides the framework that governs the Road Traffic Safety Management System (RTSMS) on a global scale. It also makes it possible for organizations that deal with road traffic systems to raise general safety standards and reduce the likelihood that traffic-related accidents would result in fatalities or serious injuries. Organizations committed to improving road safety will benefit from introducing ISO 39001.

In particular, ISO 39001 specifies the need for a road traffic safety (RTS) management system. These rules are intended to make it possible for an organization that works with the road traffic system to reduce the amount of fatalities and serious injuries that result from incidents that it can influence. In ISO 39001, organizations must create and implement a suitable road traffic safety (RTS) policy. This involves establishing RTS objectives and action plans that consider the laws and other requirements the organization follows. Additionally, the organization needs to identify elements and criteria related to RTS that it can control or influence.

If you operate within the transportation industry, you need a ISO 39001-certified RTS management system.
