What is ISO 39001 – Road Traffic Management System

ISO 9001 – intention to achieve quality in bussines

ISO 14001 – better waste management

OHSAS 18001 – management of health and safety on work

ISO 27001 – intention to provide management of security information

ISO 39001

Improving road traffic safety by reducing the number of persons

killed or severely injured in road traffic

Specifies requirements 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

ISO 39001 is a management system for the safety of road traffic whose

purpose is to reduce the number of serious and fatal accidents

Reasons to adopt ISO 39001

Thus,

ISO 39001 also has a social role: safer mobility and in accordance with the

requirements of the standard brings security benefits for the whole

society

1.3 million

people die

each year as a

result of road

crashes

90% of the

world’s road fatalities occur

in low and

middle-income

countries

Without

action, by

2020 road

deaths are

expected to

rise to 1.9M

Road traffic

injuries are the

leading cause

of death

among young

people 15-29

years

Vulnerable

road users

account for

49% of all road

deaths

15% of

countries (only)

have

comprehensive

laws relating to

top 5 risk

factors

The road traffic s stem is comple a s stem…

Infrastructure

Vehicles Transportation of goods and passengers

Road users during the execution of their duties

Corporations and organizations

Regulatory framework

Monitoring

Etc..

Key risk factors

Road infrastructure (design, construction, maintenance)

Excessive speed

Driving in an alcoholic state

Absence of protection (safety) equipment for passengers

Consuming of food, using of phones while driving

Why is it needed?

An holistic safe approach to road traffic safety results in a reduction in deaths

and serious injury on our roads, by providing:

a clear focus on road traffic safety results

evidence-based actions to reduce the risk

Audience

ISO 39001 is particularly focused on organizations involved in the

following activities:

Those that transport people and goods by road (vehicle operators)

Those that design, construct, operate and/or maintain roads

Those that generate a demand for road traffic

ISO 39001 STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

ISO 39001 has been developed using ISO Annex SL (formerly known as

Guide 83)

Annex SL is effectively a standard for standard writers and provides a

standardised text suitable for all ISO management system standards

Provides a 10 clause high-level structure and common text for all

management system standards

The intention is to standardize terminology and requirements for

fundamental Management System requirements

ISO 39 also co tai s th ee i fo ative a e ’s

CONTENT OF STANDARD ISO 39001:2012

CONTEXT OF THE ORGANIZATION

The context of the organization which requires the organization to determine

their external and internal issues that affect its RTSMS

The organization needs to identify its role in the road traffic system and any

activities, processes and functions that can have an impact on road traffic safety

There is a requirement also to determine relevant interested parties and the

needs of these interested parties

Legal and other requirements also need to be addressed

This will lead to the determination of the scope of the RTSMS and its

establishment

LEADERSHIP

It su a izes the e ui e e ts specific to top a age e t’s ole i the RTSMS, and how leadership articulates its expectations to the organization

via a policy statement.

PLANNING

RISK EXPOSURE FACTORS

Distance travelled and road traffic volume, including vehicle and road user

type, whether influenced or not influenced by the organization;

volume of product and/or service provided by the organization.

Final safety outcome factors, e.g. the number of deaths and serious injuries

INTERMEDIATE SAFETY OUTCOME FACTORS:

These safety outcome factors are related to the safe planning, design and use

of the road network and of the products and services within it, the conditions

for entry and exit of those products, services and users, as well as the

recovery and rehabilitation of road traffic crash victims

INTERMEDIATE SAFETY OUTCOME FACTORS

Road design and safe speed, especially considering separation

(on-coming traffic and vulnerable road users), side areas and

intersection design;

Use of appropriate roads, depending on vehicle type, user, type

of cargo and equipment;

Use of personal safety equipment, especially considering seat belts,

child restraints, bicycle helmets and motorcycle helmets, and the means

to see and be seen;

Using safe driving speed, also considering vehicle type, traffic and

weather conditions;

Fitness of drivers, especially considering fatigue, distraction, alcohol

and drugs;

Safe journey planning, including consideration of the need to travel,

the amount and mode of travel and choice of route, vehicle and driver;

OPERATION

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE

The organization shall respond to actual death and serious injuries caused

by road traffic crashes or by other road traffic incidents in which the

organization is involved and, where practicable, prevent or mitigate

adverse associated impacts on RTS.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

ROAD TRAFFIC CRASH AND OTHER ROAD TRAFFIC INCIDENT

INVESTIGATION

P ocedu e e ui ed to eco d, i vestigate a d a al se RTC’s a d othe incidents in which the organisation is involved, that lead (or have the

potential to lead) to death and serious injuries of road users, in order to:

Determine the underlying factors that it can control and/or influence, that

can be causing or contributing to the occurrence of those incidents

Identify the need for corrective action and any opportunities for

preventive action

Investigations to be performed in a timely manner

and results documented and maintained

Corrective & preventive actions

GUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFICATION OF KEY RTS PERFORMANCE FACTORS -

ROAD DESIGN AND OPERATION – A ROAD AUTHORITY

Key RTS performance factors for a road authority include all those in the

category of the safe planning, design, operation and use of the road network.

These can include factors relating to the level of side-on, head-on and

vulnerable road user protections and corresponding speed limits, as well as

user compliance. Monitoring tools can be integrated into wider network

management analysis, and enforcement reporting.

GUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFICATION OF KEY RTS PERFORMANCE FACTORS -

TRANSPORTING PEOPLE AND GOODS

Key RTS performance factors include: understanding their fleet safety risks, i.e.

the risk of death and injury; appropriate entry and exit of vehicles and drivers

into the road network; policies around speed, alcohol, seat belt/helmet use,

driver fatigue and distraction, vehicle selection/maintenance; journey

planning; contractor/distributor RTS management; and corporate social

responsibility through involvement in road safety advocacy and support of

community road safety initiatives.
