Although safety statistics indicate that road crashes are the most common form of work-related
\nfatalities, many organizations fail to treat company vehicles in the same manner as other
\nphysical safety hazards within the workplace. Traditionally, work-related road safety has
\ntargeted primarily driver-related issues and not adequately addressed organizational processes,
\nsuch as the organizations\u2019 safety system and risk management processes and practice. This
\ninadequacy generally stems from a lack of specific contextual knowledge and basic
\nrequirements to improve work-related road safety, including the supporting systems to ensure
\nany intervention strategy or initiative\u2019s ongoing effectiveness. Therefore, informed by previous
\nresearch and based on a case study methodology, the Organizational Work-Related Road
\nSafety Situational Analysis was developed to assess organizations\u2019 current work-related road
\nsafety system, including policy, procedures, processes and practice. The situational analysis
\ntool is similar to a safety audit however is more comprehensive in detail, application and
\nprovides sufficient evidence to enable organizations to mitigate and manage their work-related
\nroad safety risks. In addition, data collected from this process assists organizations in making
\ninformed decisions regarding intervention strategy design, development, implementation and
\nongoing effectiveness. This paper reports on the effectiveness of the situational analysis tool to
\nassess WRRS systems across five differing and diverse organizations; including gas exploration
\nand mining, state government, local government, and not for profit\/philanthropy. The outcomes
\nof this project identified considerable differences in the degree by which the organizations\u2019
\naddressed work-related road safety across their vehicle fleet operations and provides guidelines
\nfor improving organizations\u2019 work-related road safety systems.<\/p>\n
