ISO 39001 Certification
“Compliance with the regulatory requirements of a Road Traffic Management System that meets the ISO 39001 standard brings countless benefits to organisations.”
1
Abstract
The aim of an organisation seeking ISO 39001 certification (Road Traffic Safety Management System) stems from the need to reduce and limit the number of serious and fatal accidents occurring on the roads. ISO 39001 aims to engage, in a conscious and responsible manner, all organisations and entities that interact with road traffic – whether actively or passively and at every level – through the implementation of an RTS Management System.

Method
The scope of the standard is therefore very broad and may apply to:
- Road users (passenger and freight transport companies, couriers, companies with their own fleet or those managing mobile staff).
- Companies that design, build and maintain road infrastructure (private companies and local authorities).
- Owners and operators of road networks.
Major hubs that attract and generate traffic (supermarkets, shopping centres, schools, sports centres, events and gatherings).

Advantages
Implementing ISO 39001 brings organisations benefits on multiple levels: adopting management measures relating to road traffic and the people involved in it means having the ability to identify risks and opportunities. Significant benefits and partnerships will be established and promoted, including undeniable economic and legal advantages, as well as a substantial improvement in the organisation’s market image. Maintaining a road traffic safety management system demonstrates to stakeholders the organisation’s commitment to continuously reducing road accidents, going beyond what is required by law.
