TITLE OF THE SLIDE
European practice
• Countries such as Portugal (IPAC), Latvia (SIA), Serbia (ATS),
Netherlands (RvA), Lithuania (LNA) and Slovenia (SA) have not
certified companies and organizations according to the
Standard ISO 39001:2012
• On the other hand, Northern European countries such as UK
and Sweden have achieved great improvement in Road Traffic
Safety targets, as a result of establishment, implementation
and certification according to this International Standard

TITLE OF THE SLIDE Conclusions
Threats and barriers that prohibit the adoption of the
International Standard ISO 39001:2012:
• Ignorance about the existence and purpose of the Standard
• Traditional reluctance of the Greek companies in new methods
and standards
• Economic recession
• Extremely low visibility and awareness of the Standard
1
TITLE OF THE SLIDE Conclusions
• The Greek market faces a significant time lag in implementing
innovative management systems comparatively with European
and International companies
• Companies with culture and experience in Management
Systems appear more mature and positive in adopting and
implementing the new Road Traffic System
• Companies that interact directly with the road traffic (e.g.
transport of goods or passengers) appear more positive in
adopting and implementing the Road Safety Management
System
