Road Transport Risk
Ethical position: People should not have to be killed or injured
from road transport.
But: There are deaths and injuries, so there is a risk.
TOTAL RISK OF DEATH OR INJURY

Components of Total Risk
2008
GOAL OF ROAD SAFETY: Reduce each component such that overall risk
is substantially nil.

Why Address Fleet Safety?
 Much of road traffic is commercial – and so
are many crashes
 Pragmatism –commercial traffic people
have contracts and can be influenced
 Orgnisations usually benefit their bottom
line from improving fleet safety
 Organisations may choose to set targets
that require active fleet management
 Organisations can make a significant
contribution to society through their choices
2008
2008

 Aiming to help
