INTRODUCTION____
Roadtrafficaccidentsarethelargestcauseofoccupationalfatalityinmostdevelopedcountries.Withouttakingprecaution,roadtrafficaccidentswillcauseseriousinjuriesorresultinlossoflives.Thechallengefororganizationsgoesbeyondprovidinganemergencyresponseplanorhavingestablishedfirstaidprocessesthatwerepreviouslyused.
Organizationsofall sizesand types, regardlesswhetherthey are involved directly or indirectly in a road trafficsystemorsimplygeneratingroadtraffic,shouldengagein a comprehensive, systematic, preventive, protective,preparatory, and mitigation process. It is no longersufficienttosimplydraftaresponseplanthatanticipatesandminimizestheconsequencesofroadtrafficcrashes.Organizationsmusttakeadaptiveandproactivemeasurestoreducetheprobabilityofsuchanevent.
ISO39001isimportantforroadsafetysinceorganizationsmustdeveloproadtrafficsafetyplanstoensuresmoothoperation within their working environment, as theyaimtoimprovethesafetyoftheirdrivers, increaselegalcompliance, reduce injuries and deaths, reduce workabsences,andreducecrash-relatedcosts.
ISO 39001, the world’s first international standard forRoad Traffic Safety Management, has been recentlydeveloped to help organizations improve the safety ofroadusersandminimizetherisksofdisruptions.
ISOhasofficially launched the ISO39001 “RoadTrafficSafety(RTS)ManagementSystem–Requirementswithguidance for use”. This standard crowns earlier partialattemptsofdifferentprogramssuchas “VisionZero”developed inSweden,and theWorldBankGlobalRoadSafetyFacilityRoadSafetyManagementSystemFramework.

ANOVERVIEWOFISO39001:2012ISO39001 specifies requirements to plan, establish, implement, operate,monitor, review,maintain andcontinuallyimproveamanagementsystem,topreparefor,respondtoanddealwiththeconsequencesofroadincidentswhentheyoccur.
The requirements laid down in ISO 39001 are generic, flexibleand useful to all types of organizations. Organizations and theirleadership can show their commitment to the Global Decadeof Action for Road Safety (2011-2020) by becoming ISO 39001certified.
In view of the fact that ISO 39001 is one of the most recentlypublishedmanagement systemstandards that fully integrates ahigh level structure (ISO/Guide 83) and comprises common textwithotherstandards,itistotallyalignedwithallothermanagementsystems once the related standards have also adopted the ISOGuide83guidelines.
Howtoensureroadtrafficsafety?Organizations shall consider the followingguidelines included in themain clauses of this InternationalStandardtohelppreventroadtrafficincidents.
KEY CLAUSES OF ISO 39001:2012FollowingthenewstructureoftheISOGuide83,ISO39001isorganizedintothefollowingmainclauses:

1. Road design and safe speed especially considering separation, side areas and intersection design;2. Use of appropriate roads, depending on vehicle type, user, type of cargo and equipment;3. Use of personal safety equipment, especially seat belts, child restraints, helmets for bikers and
motorcyclists, and the means to see and be seen;4. Using safe driving speed, also considering vehicle type, traffic and weather conditions;5. Fitness of drivers, especially considering fatigue, distraction, alcohol and drugs;6. Safe journey planning (the need, amount, mode, route, of travel and the choice of vehicle and driver);7. Safety of vehicles, especially occupant protection, protection of other road users, crash avoidance
and mitigation, roadworthiness, vehicle load capacity and securing of loads;8. Appropriate authorization to drive/ride the class of vehicles being driven/ridden;9. Removal of unfit vehicles and drivers/riders from the road network;10. Post-crash response and first aid, emergency preparedness and post-crash recovery and rehabilitation.

The sequence of steps can be changed (inversion, merge). For example, the implementation of themanagement procedure for documented information can be done before the understanding of theorganization.Manyprocessesareiterativebecauseoftheneedforprogressivedevelopmentthroughouttheimplementationproject;forexample,communicationandtraining.
