ISO 39001 Road Traffic Safety Management System is a management standard developed for organizations involved in road traffic systems to reduce deaths and serious injuries resulting from traffic accidents. This system provides a comprehensive framework for managing and improving road traffic safety performance in a structured manner. It enables organizations to take systematic measures in areas such as fleet management, driver training, journey planning, and emergency procedures.
Risk Management and Control Measures It enables you to identify, assess, and develop effective control measures to mitigate traffic safety risks arising from your road transport activities (such as speed, alcohol, seat belt use, vehicle condition, and journey planning).
Performance Monitoring and Measurement It requires you to establish proactive indicators (speed compliance, seat belt usage) and reactive indicators (accident/injury statistics) to monitor your traffic safety performance and track these indicators regularly.
Legal and Other Compliance Requirements It helps you identify and track national and international traffic safety legislation and other commitments your organization is subject to, ensuring that you consistently meet these requirements.
It is suitable for cargo/logistics firms, public transport companies, any business managing a fleet, road construction/maintenance companies, and even companies with large numbers of employees (for safe commuting).

It is one of the cornerstones of the system. Based on risk assessments, procedures must be established and implemented for driver selection, initial and periodic training, and awareness programs.
