Abstract

The recently launched ISO 39001 is a management system for the safety of road traffic. It specifies requirements to enable an organization that interacts with the road traffic system, to reduce death and serious injuries related to road traffic crashes which it can influence. This paper looked at the readiness of JKR Sarawak to adopt ISO 39001 Road Traffic Safety (RTS) Management Systems. This paper highlights the current (RTS) practices and identified those which fulfilled the ISO 39001 requirements. This paper also investigated the challenges in achieving certification based on the six steps of a basic plan-do-check-act model for continuous improvement. The finding shows that the organization do fulfill parts of the requirement, however, it is not ready to adopt the best practice in road traffic safety management due to challenges in certification. Measurable RTS objectives are proposed to overcome the identified challenges.
