Steps to Conduct RSAsThis chart outlines the basic steps involved in conducting an RSA. Several organizations offer RSA training courses, some of which may be found on the Training/
Seminars
section of the Resources page. 

Below are links to PowerPoint presentations summarizing the steps involved in conducting a safety audit as well as a case study. These are not intended to teach the subject matter, rather they may be used as a resource.

 

Road safety audit teamKeys to Successful Implementation

From an agency's experience, the keys to success are:

  • Agency support and willingness to incorporate audit findings
  • Small multidisciplinary audit team consisting of 3 to 5 people (may include highway/traffic safety, traffic engineering, planning, operations, geometric design, construction, maintenance, human factors, and enforcement)
  • Conduct the audit at the earliest possible stage
  • Willingness to investigate new ideas outside the traditional scope of work
