After almost two decades of extensive experience with Road Safety Audit (RSA), this procedure is now recognized as one of the most efficient engineering tools. Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a highly efficient as well as cost-effective engineering tool for improvement of safety on roads. It is much cheaper to identify road safety deficiencies in the process of design than later after construction is completed. RSAs and their extended arm - Road Safety Inspections (RSI) are among the most cost-effective investments a Road Authority can undertake.

This 5-day GLOMACS Road Safety Audits & Road Safety Inspections is designed to give a comprehensive knowledge of Road Safety Auditing (RSA) & Road Safety Inspections (RSI). It is a suitable background to RSA and RSI and advises them on safety issues correlated to several road elements. This will give an introduction and knowledge to the principles of RSA and RSI and to illustrate common problems that may affect road safety. The main aim of a road safety audit and inspection is to identify and address any road safety issues. 

This GLOMACS training course will highlight:

• Organization of Road Safety Audits
• Types of Projects to Audit
• Road Safety Audit Process
• Specifics of Audit
