ISO 39001 — Road Traffic Safety

A management-system standard for organizations that operate vehicles or manage road traffic risk — aimed at reducing deaths and serious injuries on the road.

What It Is

A system for managing road traffic safety

ISO 39001 specifies requirements for a Road Traffic Safety (RTS) Management System, helping organizations that interact with the road network — through fleets, logistics, or commuting staff — systematically reduce road traffic risk.

It's built around the same management-system structure as ISO 9001 and ISO 45001, so it integrates well with existing systems.
