Relevant to any organization of any size or sector, that wants to improve road traffic safety.

Whether you transport goods or generate road traffic at construction sites, if you want to demonstrate your organization’s commitment to reduce road deaths and serious injuries, ISO 39001 certification can help.

ISO 39001:2012 specifies the requirements for a road traffic safety (RTS) management system, enabling any organization that interacts with the road traffic system to help reduce death and serious injuries related to road traffic crashes. By establishing a safety culture in your organization based on a certified management system, you can reduce your risks and improve your performance.

ISO 39001 focuses on the context of the organization and encourages risk-based thinking. By engaging with the organization’s leadership and integrating RTS into the business strategy, you can create a safety culture in your organization. This helps enhance your reputation and builds trust with stakeholders, ultimately boosting your business.

What you need to know

ISO 39001 is suitable for any organization, so if you have an impact on traffic, it applies to you – whether you’re in construction, tourism, education or any other sector. It sets out the requirements and guidance for a road traffic safety (RTS) management system, including:

  • The development and implementation of an appropriate RTS policy
  • The development of RTS objectives and action plans
  • RTS-related criteria that the organization can control or influence

ISO 39001 follows a structure that makes it easy to use alongside other management system standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

Getting certified with Kiwa

According to the World Health Organization, there were 1.25 million road traffic deaths globally in 2013.
