ISO 39001:2012 Road Traffic Safety Management Systems Foundation Level Training and Certification Program

Programme Summary

Build an understanding of road traffic safety management using ISO 39001:2012. Participants connect road exposure, safety performance factors and transport operating controls with responsibilities and performance measures. Exercises based on a commercial fleet and road services case develop requirement interpretation, evidence selection and gap recognition. The programme establishes a foundation for reduction of fatal and serious road traffic harm and further implementation or auditor development.

Training Objectives

1 Explain road traffic safety management requirements; 2 Connect requirements with operational responsibilities; 3 Recognise uncontrolled speed exposure; 4 Select relevant implementation evidence; 5 Prepare for further practical development.

Learning Outcomes

1 Map road safety exposure factors; 2 Select meaningful fleet safety indicators; 3 Identify journey and vehicle controls; 4 Evaluate crash investigation evidence; 5 Prioritise controls against serious road harm.

Target Audience

Fleet Safety Managers; Transport Managers; Road Safety Officers; Logistics Managers; Management System Coordinators.

Target Industries

Road Freight Transport; Public Passenger Transport; Corporate Vehicle Fleets; Road Infrastructure Services; Last Mile Delivery.

Assessment

• 60 single best answer questions, including applied scenarios; one mark per question.
• 90 minute invigilated digital examination with identity verification. Approved accessibility adjustments preserve the assessed competence.
• Clean standard text and supplied case documents permitted; internet, messaging and external AI tools prohibited.
• Individual applied assessment (45 minutes): Using a supplied commercial fleet and road services case, produce a road safety exposure map and performance measures, link three controls to relevant requirements and explain one unresolved weakness.
• Assessment criteria: Accurate interpretation of road traffic safety management requirements; Relevant use of journey and vehicle records; Clear connection between controls responsibilities and identified gaps.
• Pass each component separately: 45/60 written marks (75%) and at least 70% on the applied task.
• All mandatory criteria must pass: Do not fabricate evidence or knowingly present unsupported conformity conclusions.
• Individual results and feedback are provided. One reassessment may follow coaching under the published enrolment terms.

Certification

• Successful learners receive a TQCSI Arabia digital Certificate of Successful Completion.
• The certificate records the learner name, exact programme title, teaching hours, completion date and unique verification reference.
• Verified identity, full attendance and separate written and applied passes are required; all mandatory critical criteria must be met.
