Welcome to the Institution of Highways & Transportation Society of Road Safety Auditors (SoRSA) website.  SoRSA represents an exciting initiative for the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT), in providing a home for the development of professional highways safety auditing best practice.

SoRSA has been established by the Institution as a response to a growing call from professionals operating in the field of safety auditing and safety engineering practice in the UK, for a forum to exchange best practice and, importantly, to  provide advice and ultimately routes to professional recognition for safety auditing practitioners.

Importantly, SoRSA is an association of the CIHT and therefore has a committee structure and constitution similar to the established regional branches. Uniquely, it is a branch of professionals from a specialist discipline. If you are an existing CIHT Member, you can join SoRSA from wherever you live in the UK, or indeed abroad.

2009 Membership Review Progress

To date we have had successful applications from 49% of the membership, we are currently assessing 1% which leaves 51%  to complete the review forms and get them submitted. 

To those of you who have already submitted their forms - many thanks and congratulations on your continued membership.  It is great to see that there have been no real concerns with any of the forms submitted to date, which considering the current state of our industry is remarkable.

To those of you who have yet to get the form completed and submitted, please make an effort as we would really like to get this whole review process wrapped up before the start of the New Year.  If you have any queries as to the process or if there is anything else I can help with please do not hesitate to contact me

With thanks and kind regards,
