A key stage in improving the UK’s road safety has been achieved with the establishment of a new Road Safety Audit Certificate of Competency. The move sees the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) & the Society of Road Safety Auditors (SoRSA) are to award this Road Safety Audit Certificate of Competency on behalf of the 2309 Highways Agency (HA). EC Directives will require at least one member of a Road Safety Audit Team to hold a Certificate of Competency (CoC) when undertaking a Road Safety Audit on the Trans-European Network (TEN) from December 2013.
The TEN includes much of UK motorway and trunk roads. The assessment and certification processes developed by SoRSA have been approved by the HA. CIHT, through SoRSA, is consequently in a position to award CoCs via the Portfolio of Evidence Route to applicants who demonstrate the necessary understanding, experience and expertise. As with SoRSA membership, access to the CoC is open to CIHT members and non-members.
