Sustainable Safety
A crash can happen to anybody. In a rash moment, everybody can make an error or slightly bend the rules. That is why safety guarantees are so important: the Sustainable Safety approach in a nutshell.
Over the years, Sustainable Safety has become a household concept, not only in the Netherlands but also internationally. In 1992, the original idea was launched in "Towards a Sustainably Safe Road Traffic" and its initial implementation was described in Start-up programme Sustainable Safety. Due to previous experiences, advancing insights, and new developments, the Sustainable Safety vision was updated in 2005. This exploration for the coming 15 years has been published in "Advancing Sustainable Safety". On the website www.sustainablesafety.nl you can find the integral version of the book, the brochure containing a summary, and all kinds of background information.
This section of the SWOV website gives a brief introduction to Sustainable Safety.
