SoRSA

Welcome to the Society of Road Safety Auditors (SoRSA).

Established by CIHT, SoRSA provides a home for the development of professional highways safety auditing best practice.

Introduction

SoRSA was established by CIHT 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.

RoSPA assured courses

To obtain a better understanding and competency of the techniques involved in casualty reduction and road safety engineering further additional training is likely to be required. Many organisations will facilitate this but prospective auditors can attend training courses that provide the relevant programme. There are a few such courses but perhaps the most favoured is the 10 day (two week) course assured by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
