Standards & competence
Simply RSA provides independent road safety advice with the audit scope and approach tailored to the scheme, applicable procedure and relevant highway authority requirements.
Applicable standards
Different highway schemes can be subject to different procedures and requirements. We consider the applicable requirements when establishing the appropriate audit scope.
Road Safety Audit
Road Safety Audits for schemes subject to the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges are undertaken in accordance with the applicable requirements of DMRB GG 119.
Road Safety Audit
Where a scheme falls within the relevant TfL requirements, the audit approach considers the applicable requirements of TfL S2251 A1.
Auditor competence
A Road Safety Audit also depends on the competence and independence of the audit team. Simply RSA's approach is based on relevant professional experience, audit experience and continuing professional development.
Audits are undertaken by professionally qualified auditors with relevant highway and road safety experience.
The audit provides an independent review focused on identifying road safety issues clearly and objectively.
The audit scope and approach depend on the scheme, applicable procedure and requirements of the relevant highway authority.
Findings are presented clearly so that the project team can understand the identified road safety concerns and consider an appropriate response.
Important clarification
Simply RSA's auditors are supported by relevant professional experience, audit experience and formal training. Where a scheme is subject to specific highway authority requirements, the applicable requirements need to be considered when establishing the audit team and scope.
Membership of SoRSA or holding a Road Safety Audit Certificate of Competency does not, by itself, guarantee acceptance or approval by a particular highway authority. The requirements applicable to the individual scheme should always be confirmed.
