JCA says that as a founding member of the RTMS initiative in South Africa since 2006, it has consistently demonstrated its commitment to elevating road safety standards within the transport industry.

This commitment has now extended beyond the borders of South Africa to benefit Namibian and Botswanan organisations seeking to enhance their road safety protocols, the auditor adds.

RTMS is a rigorous certification programme that is designed to encourage responsible road usage among transport operators. It focuses on:
  • optimising vehicle loads
  • promoting driver wellness, and
  • fostering an organisational culture of road safety.

With its proven track record of delivering exceptional results, RTMS has become a benchmark for industry best practices, says JCA.

"JCA's expansion into Namibia and Botswana reflects a growing recognition of the importance of RTMS in enhancing road safety across borders," says JCA's managing director Oliver Naidoo. "By partnering with organisations in these countries, JCA aims to facilitate the adoption of RTMS practices and certification, ultimately contributing to safer roads and improved transport operations."

Key highlights of JCA's RTMS expansion efforts include:

Regional collaboration
JCA has formed collaborative partnerships with key organisations and stakeholders in Namibia and Botswana to promote the adoption of RTMS. These partnerships underscore a shared commitment to road safety in the region.

Certification support
JCA offers comprehensive support to organisations in Namibia and Botswana throughout the RTMS certification process. This includes guidance on:
  • optimising vehicle loads
  • implementing driver wellness programmes, and
  • establishing a culture of road safety.

Knowledge transfer
Leveraging its extensive experience in South Africa, JCA provides valuable knowledge transfer to organisations in Namibia and Botswana. This includes:
  • training
  • auditing, and
  • compliance services tailored to meet the unique needs of each region.

JCA says that its expansion into Namibia and Botswana aligns with the company's mission to promote safer roads and responsible road practices across the Southern African region.

"By extending the benefits of RTMS certification to organisations in these countries, we aim to contribute to reduced accidents, improved road infrastructure and enhanced overall road safety," Naidoo concludes.
