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).
