A road traffic safety management system (RTSMS), based on ISO 39001, can provide your organization with an international best-practice framework for managing road safety risks, evaluating their impact, and developing the capability to achieve results. This will help in meeting RTS objectives and generally contribute to the welfare of employees and societal goals.

The framework of a road traffic safety management system, with a robust audit process, can ensure that your organization is consistently evaluating its RTMS performance. This will help to drive continual improvement in the area of risk which can be devastating to those affected by road traffic incidents. You might also want to find out more about supplier/subcontractor (2nd party) and independent audits (3rd party) and how they would operate.

This course will develop the knowledge and skills required to undertake an audit of an RTSMS as a lead auditor; emphasizing independent auditing principles and practices. Using practical exercises, group activities and classroom discussions, an experienced instructor will guide you through the entire audit process, including the principles and practice of auditing and their application in the auditing of ISO 39001 RTSMS.
