ISO 39001 is an international standard and specifies the requirements for road traffic safety (RTS) management systems.
The safety of personnel involved in road traffic is an increasing challenge for organizations of all types due to its rising complexity. A systematic management system as described in ISO 39001, allows to define the minimum organizational requirements for road traffic safety. The objective of ISO 39001 is the reduction of negative incidents in organizations caused by road traffic. With the introduction of a management system according to ISO 39001 and a corresponding certification, organizations demonstrate the importance of these objectives towards stakeholders and show that road traffic safety is taken seriously.
Every organization that wants to improve its road traffic safety as well as the employees participating in road traffic will benefit from the implementation of ISO 39001.
ISO 39001 is suitable for organizations of any size and can help to manage the particular challenges of safety in road traffic that organizations are confronted with.
The standard is based on the High Level Structure (HLS) and can therefore be fully integrated into existing management systems, such as ISO 9001.
The following topics are covered:
- ISO 39001 helps organisations to know and control their road transport systems.
