The road safety audits have been made compulsory by many state governments to ensure the safety of the roads. The road safety audits are conducted by independent audit teams to examine the safety performance of a road. This can be done at any time period i.e. during planning phase, construction phase or designing phase. The road audit team is a highly professional team with experienced members. These safety measures are very important because it reduces the risk of accident or any mis- happening on the roads.

Accidents on road occur when preventive measures on the road are not taken. When accidents take place, a thorough accident investigation should be done to identify any hazardous practices, unsafe work practices and the use of physical components. Proper accident investigation helps in reducing the number of accidents on road and to prevent further occurrence of such events. It is also important to deploy Construction Safety methods during the construction of the roads.

The companies involved in the construction of roads are becoming very particular about the construction safety during the construction of roads and it is appreciable on their part to observe the safety procedures to prevent any unpleasant situation.

The Incident Management Process also helps in detecting any unwanted incident, investigating about it and resolving any problem arising due to that incident. This process helps in the detection of any unfavorable situation in advance and taking corrective action to resolve the problem. This way, any major loss can be prevented.
