The general aim of this project is the assessment of how road transport companies can be better involved in the task of halving the number of road accident victims in Europe. This should lead ultimately to an ‘Action Package’ with specified strategies in the wide range between Community level and individual companies. This first interim report presents:

the insight gained into standards for safety practice available through public sources
First results of road safety practices within European Road Haulage companies
Summary of experience outside the EU.
