At the occasion of the 4th Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety recently hosted in Marrakech (Morocco), the International Road Federation (IRF) and the National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) have announced a partnership. The two bodies will deliver training and accreditation for road safety auditors in the Australia and New Zealand. In response to the growing need for high-quality road safety audits, this partnership will enable professionals trained by NTRO to gain international accreditation and be listed in the IRF International Registry of Road Safety Auditors.
Accessible via the IRF website at www.irfofficial.org, and made possible thanks to the support of TotalEnergies Foundation, the IRF International Registry of Road Safety Auditors aims to establish a global standard for the training and accreditation of road safety auditors. The registry sets clear, internationally recognised certification standards to ensure consistency and quality in road safety audits worldwide. This initiative enhances transparency and ensures that auditors meet stringent professional qualifications on a global scale.
Michael Caltabiano, chief executive officer of NTRO expressed "This partnership with the IRF underscores our commitment to advancing road safety in Australia and beyond. By aligning our training programmes with the IRF’s international accreditation framework, we are equipping road safety professionals with the skills needed to make a tangible difference in reducing road trauma and in saving lives.”
As a globally recognised leader in road safety, the IRF brings over seven decades of experience in supporting governments and organisations in training and certification of road safety auditors. With its extensive network spanning all continents, the IRF is well-positioned to support global efforts aimed at preventing road crashes and saving thousands of lives.
