ISO 39001 Road traffic safety (RTS) management systems - Requirements with guidance for use
The road transport system is an open and complex system Infrastructure Vehicles Road Transportation of goods and passengers Road users during the execution of their duties Corporations and organizations Regulatory framework Monitoring Etc.. This is where ISO 39001 comes in!
Traffic safety background facts The global traffic safety situation is a human catastrophe, with more than 1.3 million fatalities each year. 2030, injuries generated within the road transport system will be the 5th most common reason for loss of health (projected by WHO). Traffic injuries are the largest cause of mortality in the 10-24 age group (10%) (source: The Lancet). Lack of systematic work and commitment among organizations that affect the safety of the road transport system.
The vision behind ISO 39001 Elimination of death and serious injury in the road transport system is the overarching goal. A voluntary and complimentary tool to legislation, addressing all organizations interacting with road traffic and driven by the needs of interested parties, including market forces. An approach to utilize and disseminate best practice. Knowledge transfer from Traffic safety experts to the intended user community of the standard.
On the road to ISO 39001 - Road Traffic Safety (RTS) management systems Work item approved by ISO ballot among ISO member countries January 2008. ISO Project Committee, ISO/PC 241, established by ISO Technical management board February 2008 Secretariat allocated to Swedish Standards Institute (SIS). Chairman of ISO/PC 241 Claes Tingvall, Director Road Safety, SRA Swedish Road Administration. Secretary Peter Hartzell (SIS). ISO 39001 to be published middle of 2012. ISO 39001
An ISO management system standard is a voluntary tool for organizations to work systematically with specific issues (Environment, Quality, Food safety, Road Traffic Safety etc.). is often based on the concept of continual improvement PDCA cycle and process approach. does not specify any specific technical solution or minimum requirements and is flexible and adaptable to the needs and resources of each specific organization
Success factors adressed Follow the success story of ISO 9001 (Quality management systems) and ISO 14001 (Environmental management systems) in the area of Road traffic safety. Facilitate the implementation by harmonization to existing and well-known ISO management system standards. Holistic approach addressed through stakeholder identification, consultation and coordination. Strengthen the efforts on Road Traffic Safety by addressing the relation to OH&S (occupational health and safety) and CSR (corporate social responsibility).

Overall structure and unique elements of ISO 39001 draft standard Organizational context related to RTS Incident investigation Top management responsibilities and commitment RTS performance factors
The architecture of ISO 39001 The overall structure and content aligned with ISO MSS - in compliance with N005 and ISO Guide 72. (Compare with EMAS and OHSAS 18001) - following the HLS (High Level Structure) of JTCG (ISO:s Joint Technical Coordination Group) Top management responsibilities and commitment - concept adopted from ISO 9000 Organizational context related to RTS - adopted from ISO/TMB/JTCG Joint vision RTS performance factors - reflects common experience and knowledge in the field of road traffic safety Incident investigation - partly adopted from OHSAS 18001 - harmonization between the ISO world and Traffic Safety expertise
