AfroSAFE webinar April 2025
Zambia Road Transport Safety Agency – Lessons learned from the Fleet Safety Management Project in Zambia.
Zambia is a country of over 20 million people, but it continues to record road traffic accidents above 30,000 annually and 2,000 deaths per annum. 90% of these road crashes result from human or driver errors. Most fleet Operators do not have appropriate fleet management systems to manage the risk factors associated with human errors. By undertaking the introduction of Fleet Safety Management (FSM), the Road Transport Safety Agency aims to reduce the 90% of accidents due to driver error to an acceptable figure by ensuring that all commercial fleet operators comply with Fleet Safety and Fleet Risk Management, including Safety Audits.
Commercial Fleet Operators are defined as:
- Passenger Bus Operators
- Freight Transporters, which include Fuel Transporters, Bulk Hazardous Transporters and Goods Transporters
Transporters and Passenger Operators that implement FSM can identify and mitigate safety risks they are exposed to during their day-to-day operation, ultimately improving safety performance.
