ISO 39001: Collaborating for Road Safety
Integrating external stakeholders — including suppliers, subcontractors, and regulatory bodies — into your Road Traffic Safety (RTS) management system is essential, albeit challenging. Building strong partnerships is the cornerstone of successfully implementing ISO 39001.
Embarking on the ISO 39001 journey may incur initial costs for training, consulting services, and system development. These expenses are an investment in safety and can be a consideration for smaller entities or those with limited budgets.
Accurate data collection on road traffic incidents, near misses, and safety performance is vital. A robust system for gathering and analyzing this data is imperative to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement.
