Its main objective is to reduce and ultimately eliminate road accidents, as well as serious injuries or deaths related to road traffic.

Who is it for?

The standard is applicable to any public or private organization that interacts with the road network such as:

• Companies with a fleet of vehicles (e.g. transport, logistics, courier companies, product distributors, supermarkets, schools, hospitals).
• Organisations with mobile staff (e.g. sales personnel or field technicians).
• Road network managers (e.g. motorway service providers, local authorities).
• Public transport providers (e.g. coach/bus companies, taxis, mass tourism agencies).
• Special activity companies (e.g. heavy-duty vehicles, special transport vehicles)

ISO 39001 helps an organization to identify road hazards and take control measures by focusing on factors such as:

• The condition of the vehicles (regular maintenance, safety checks).
• The behavior of drivers (training, speed limit monitoring, rest and health factors).
• The planning of routes (selection of safe and alternative routes).
• Emergency response  (accident management).
