ISO 39001 Certification (Road Traffic Safety Management System)
A practical guide to reducing road traffic risk, controlling journeys and vehicles, and producing measurable safety evidence for audits.
What ISO 39001 is (in operational terms)
ISO 39001 is a management system for road traffic safety (RTS). It is commonly used by logistics fleets, field service teams, passenger transport, and organizations with significant commuting/journey risk.
Audits focus on whether you control key risk factors (journey planning, speed, fatigue, vehicle condition, incident learning) and whether performance is measured and improved.
Common audit focus areas
- RTS scope: fleet, contractors, routes, and journey types in scope.
- Journey management: planning rules, approvals, fatigue controls, and stop criteria.
- Driver competence: selection, training, authorization, and periodic evaluation.
- Vehicle maintenance: inspections, preventive maintenance, defect handling.
- Incident reporting: near-miss, accidents, root cause analysis, corrective actions.
- KPIs: measurable safety outcomes and trend-based improvement.
Typical evidence pack (examples)
- Journey management procedure + trip approvals.
- Driver training and authorization records.
- Vehicle maintenance schedules + inspection checklists.
- Incident logs + RCA reports + corrective actions.
- Safety KPI dashboard (incidents per km, severity, near-miss trends).
