Main FocusOn the road to safety 8 ISO Focus October 2009 ISO Focus, human catastrophe is the description often made of the global traffic safety situation, with more than one million fatalities each year. The World Health Organiza-tion (WHO) projects that by 2030, the fifth most common reason for loss of health will be an injury generated within the road transport system. This forecast is not only catastrophic, but also tragic since most of these deaths can be avoided or, at the very least, dramatically decreased. Unfortunate-ly, there is not enough being done to apply existing knowledge and man-age the actions taken. What s more, too much is either blamed on the indi-vidual, or on the ineffective measures used. This inaction or lack of know-ledge can and must be changed. While in the past traffic safety has been considered a matter between a country and its citizens, we now understand that there is another level of engagement in all societies.
