Course Description

Make every Road Safety Audit count.

You do not need to be an auditor to influence the success of a Road Safety Audit.

Project managers, asset owners, designers, engineers, contractors and other project stakeholders make critical decisions throughout the audit process. How you commission the audit, supply information, coordinate the right people and respond to findings can directly affect the road-safety outcome.

NTRO’s Road Safety Audit for Non-Auditors course gives you the knowledge to participate confidently and productively at every stage. Start with the foundations of road safety auditing and the Safe System approach. Understand why audits matter, where they fit within the road-infrastructure lifecycle and how they differ from Safe System Assessments and other road-safety evaluation techniques. Then follow the complete audit process – from commissioning and selecting a suitably competent audit team through to reviewing findings, documenting decisions, managing residual risks and closing the loop.

A practical case study puts the process into context. Consider the project from a non-auditor’s perspective, work through the audit phases and explore how effective collaboration between auditors, project teams, asset owners and technical specialists supports better decisions.

This course will not qualify you as a road safety auditor. It will make you a more informed client, project participant and decision-maker – better equipped to engage with auditors, act on their findings and support safer infrastructure outcomes.

Study online at your own pace, complete the knowledge checks and strengthen your contribution to the Road Safety Audit process.

Course structure

  • Road safety auditing and the Safe System – understand Australia’s road-safety context, the purpose of auditing and the principles that guide safer infrastructure decisions.
  • Stakeholders and responsibilities – identify the audit team, the wider project stakeholders and the contribution non-auditors make to an effective audit.
  • The Road Safety Audit process – follow commissioning, conducting, completion and implementation, with a focus on the decisions and actions required at each phase.
  • Road Safety Audit case study – apply the process to a practical project scenario and explore how to respond to findings, manage risk and close the loop.
