Description
The ISO 39001 Road Traffic Safety Management Systems Lead Auditor Training is designed for professionals seeking the knowledge and skills to evaluate how organizations manage their road traffic safety (RTS) responsibilities. It covers ISO 39001 requirements and recognized management system auditing principles.
Participants learn how to define audit scope, prepare checklists, interview personnel, examine road traffic safety data, evaluate evidence, report findings and follow up on corrective actions. At OHS GLOBAL QUALIFICATIONS, we present the learning pathway in practical, accessible language relevant to workplace needs.
What Is ISO 39001?
ISO 39001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a road traffic safety management system. It helps organizations that interact with the road traffic system reduce deaths and serious injuries from road traffic crashes. The standard is relevant to organizations of different types and sizes, including those operating vehicles, managing transport activities or influencing road safety outcomes.
Why Road Traffic Safety Management Matters:
- Support the prevention of road traffic deaths and serious injuries
- Identify road traffic safety risks and relevant performance factors
- Clarify leadership accountability and organizational responsibilities
- Improve transport planning and operational controls
- Monitor road traffic incidents and safety performance
- Strengthen employee and contractor awareness
- Support evidence-based decisions and continual improvement
What Does an ISO 39001 Lead Auditor Do?
An ISO 39001 Lead Auditor plans and coordinates audits, evaluates objective evidence against defined audit criteria and reports whether a road traffic safety management system meets applicable requirements. This includes reviewing RTS objectives, performance factors, operational controls, incident information, monitoring results and corrective actions.

- Organizational Context and Leadership: Review how road traffic safety responsibilities, organizational activities, stakeholder expectations and leadership commitments shape the RTS management system.
- Road Traffic Safety Performance Factors: Explore the standard’s exposure, final safety outcome and intermediate safety outcome factors, and learn to assess whether relevant factors are identified and monitored.
- Operational Planning and Control: Understand how an organization manages transport activities, vehicle and driver controls, journey risks and external service providers.
- Monitoring, Evaluation and Improvement: Review RTS performance data, internal audits, management review, incidents, nonconformities and corrective actions.
Lead Auditor Responsibilities:
- Agree audit scope, criteria and objectives
- Coordinate audit plans, team roles and communications
