Road Safety Management and Standards

03 October 2023 Webinar

In 2021, more than 1,600 people were killed on UK roads and over 26,700 seriously injured. Rather than putting this down to human error, the Safe Systems approach recognizes that a failure of the road system is the primary cause of accidents. Interventions should be shaped to meet the long-term goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries.

This webinar will discuss the important role of standards in helping achieve this target as well as address wider issues on the topic of road safety management and will cover:

• the key road safety standards, especially ISO 39001, which sets out a best-practice management framework to help reduce the risk of death and serious injury
• case studies on using ISO 39001 and the Safe Systems approach
• the benefits and risks from increasingly connected and automated vehicles
• the role of standards in helping the safe introduction of in-car technologies
• a discussion of the BSI Connected and Automated Mobility standards programme
