ISO39001 (Road Traffic Safety Management Systems) Certification

ISO39001 is an international standard for Road Traffic Safety Management Systems developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Road Traffic Safety Management Systems are management systems designed to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries resulting from road traffic accidents.

ISO39001 was just issued in October 2012, and was created as a result of a proposal from Sweden, a country known for its advanced transportation system.

Road Traffic Safety is included in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The third goal of the SDGs, "health and well-being for all," consists of 13 targets. Road Traffic Safety falls under Target 6: "By 2020, halve the number of deaths and injuries from road traffic crashes worldwide".

ISO39001 standardizes the following rules for Road Traffic Safety:

1. Identify business challenges and regulations,
2. Clarify roles, responsibilities and authorities within the organization,
3. Identify risks, establish safety management indicators, and develop objectives and performance plans,
4. Establish communication channels, secure necessary equipment and train employees,
5. Implement policies, preparing for and responding to emergencies,
6. Surveys, data collection and improvement activities.

Since November 2021, we have been working on Road Traffic Safety under the consulting guidance of the Transportation Safety Management Division of the National Agency for Automotive Safety and Victims' Aid (NASVA) for about one year.

In January 2023, the final audit by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA) resulted in ISO 39001 registration.

Under ISO39001, Road Traffic Safety targets are established, and the PDCA cycle of "Plan (P) → Do (D) → Check (C) → Improve (A)" is used to operate the road traffic safety management system in order to achieve the targets.

We have established the following "RTS Targets" and "Detailed RTS Targets".
